Runi

Daemon Young or Daemon Darkgaze is the bastard son of High Lord James Blackwood, half-brother to Elijah and Faron Blackwood. Despite being a bastard Daemon is a Knight of the Kingsguard. He is later revealed to be the Famine Knight.

## Appearance

Daemon is a young man with, brown disheveled hair reaching the mid-length of his neck, and has several moles along his upper body and face. His eyes are a greyish-purple, with the pupils always catching the light making them seem white.

As a kingsguard, Daemon wears grey armor with a black cloak holding the sigil of House Valmaeryen. His sword is Ecrian steel, with ancient symbols engraved on the blade and with the exception of the small scratches from battle the sword remains well kept. Daemon alternatively wears a maroon tunic, along with black boots and grey pants.

## Personality

Daemon has a very odd and mysterious personality, his face often doesn't show any emotion. He is always very calm, composed and ignorant towards other peoples emotions. Though he has been often described as having "something curious about him", unconsciously drawing people towards him. When King Aenar II offered a dance with his grand daughter to whoever won the Twin-Tourney, Daemon used the opportunity to manipulate many older knights into entering, fighting easier fights, and eventually winning the tourney, as well as a dance with Salaenyas. While Daemon doesn't hesitate to imply to threaten Salaenyas, he is very patient and polite to her, as she answer his questions.

## Famine Knight

Daemon's little information is critical to understanding the Four Knights. The Knights are brothers, each age and connection representing a real calamity; the oldest Knight represents Death, followed by War, Famine, and finally Conquest. Typically, war and famine occur concurrently, followed by death and conquest. The Four Knights, have no appointed leader and follow their own paths with their own goals, which eventually lead them back to each other. Daemon also mentions Conquest's relationship with the other Knights is being "tested."

## Relationships

### Elijah Blackwood

Daemon seems to hold a lot a respect for his older half-brother. It contradicts a lot of the parts of his personality, as Daemon is immensely arrogant behind his cold façade and seems to treat Elijah as a superior to him. When asked by his younger half-brother, Faron, why he held such an immense admiration for Elijah and calling him a perverse Aelyrian, Daemon ignored him, only responding with a glare.

### War Knight

Daemon makes a point of referring to the War Horseman by name when questioning Salaenyas during their dance, knowing it might alert Salaenyas to any suspicions she may have about him and have her tell her grandfather.

It is unknown is he knows the War Horseman's true identity or perhaps memories from a past incarnation has manifested in him and cause him this deep fondness.
