## Biography

### *Ember Falls*

#### Politicking in Halfwind

**Tameth Seer**: And thus free his mind. Forever one a slave will be when never once he chooses *me*.

**Bleston**: Almost every good thing in my life has come from following my own way. I became the king I was meant to be by following my own way, and I have raised my son to do the same.

**Tameth Seer**: We shall never defeat the Lords of Prey, until we see ourselves as the true lords and prey on them.

—*Ember Falls*, pg. 141-142

Kylen introduces Tameth to Picket as Bleston's longtime friend and advisor. Upon meeting Picket, he stares into Picket's eyes, making Picket uncomfortable, and declares that Picket has history within him, just as he sees in Bleston and Kylen. When he addressed Bleston as 'Prince', Tameth hissed, but Bleston only laughed. As Bleston talked about Picket secretly going to rescue his family, Picket wondered if Tameth could read his mind. Tameth seconded Bleston's words of following your own way and seeing yourself as powerful.

Emma later heard Tameth Seer arguing with Bleston. She and Heather were surprised that anyone would dare argue with Bleston, and Picket said that if anyone dared it would be Tameth, as he had been Bleston's councilor for many years. During the assembly, when Bleston announced that he would give the Whitson Stone to Smalls, Tameth Seer sneered.

### *Ember Rising*

As Helmer and Picket Longtreader prepare to leave their company and make for Harbone Citadel, they are ambushed by Tameth Seer and a band of Terralain rabbits. Tameth demands that the "assassin" Picket be turned over to them, but Helmer refuses. Though Picket pleads that they should be on the same side, neither Helmer's band nor the Terralain rabbits are willing to back down, and a battle ensues.

At first the Terralain soldiers had the upper hand, but reinforcements come to Picket and Helmer's aid, and Tameth surrenders. Helmer requests of the leader of the band, Captain Vulm, that his rabbits be allowed to go in peace for the next two days, simply so that they may each go their own way without harm. Vulm agrees, and Helmer and Picket—as well as their band—leave safely. Tameth calls out a warning to them as they depart.

While in Akolan, Heather dreamed of Tameth Seer.

When Kylen and Emma met in the forest, Emma realized that Tameth was poisoning Kylen, and told him not to take his medicine anymore. As she was leaving, Tameth Seer arrived, and bound and gagged Emma. Tameth Seer then spoke of how Kylen would be king, and how their alliance with Morbin Blackhawk would settle this. He then attempted to kill Emma, and was only stopped by the timely intervention of Heyna and Cole Blackstar.

### *Ember's End*

Tameth continues his lies to Naylen, Kylen's brother. He eventually attempts to poison and thus kill Kylen. However, this plot fails and when Tameth tries to lead the Terralain soldiers into battle against Emma's troops, he is killed by Naylen, who has uncovered the seer's plot.

## Physical appearance

Tameth was an old, oddly-dressed rabbit. He was first seen dressed in purple, with his head dangling and beads and gems braided into his fur. He had wide eyes, and his voice was eerie, high, and brittle.
