Gilliam Tigerblood

"As it just so happened, a man by the name of Gilliam Tigerblood had returned home after slaying a pack of wild wolves. His father had previously been lord of his home region of Rivan, until a jealous court official had disposed of him and installed their son as imperial protector of the region. Gilliam was a learned man, despite his lack of office, and a skilled hunter, popular in his home village."

Gilliam Tigerblood is a character in Fate By Blades who rebelled against the Uria Dynasty. He struck a deal with the Hooded Figure to gain the means to rebel successfully, under the condition that he take only a specified woman to bed. However, Gilliam failed to uphold his bargain and died shortly afterwards.

Though dead, his rebellion caused the fall of the Uria Dynasty. One of the items he received from the Hooded Figure was a demonic tome, which later fell into the hands of Ezra.

The book ends with Gilliam and Kona Beowulf talking, drinking and eating together in some isolated location, Gilliam apparently restored to life. Kona and Gilliam exchange some friendly dialogue and vow to watch over the fledgling peace and act should the times demand they do so, hinting that both Kona and Gilliam had achieved immortality.
