Eliana Syris
Eliana is the main character in Mane of Black. Eliana is a bastard daughter of Roderick Goldmane from the west of Antovia. Her mother was from the house of Nightmane, the rulers of the Northeast, and was therefore born with black hair. Being wanted by neither of her family’s houses, she was abandoned and left to fend for herself and beg on the streets until she was picked up by a mysterious alchemist named Zeno Syris at the age of seven. Zeno brought her to the wild and taught her how to fend for herself. He taught her to mix potions, poisons, how to shoot a bow, hunt, everything she needed to survive. The one thing he always told her over and over again, “Survival is the only thing that matters in this world. Trust will get you killed.”
Zeno Syris
Zeno is a mysterious man. He was born to a soldier and a whore. Cast aside by his father and neglected by his mother, he ran to the south. On his way and afterwards, he picked up skills in alchemy/potion-making, hunting, and learning to survive on his own. He found Eliana on his travels while going back to the north. He could tell from her appearance that she had the hair of a Nightmane and the eyes of a Goldmane, and he figured out the rest. After learning about her history, he took her under his wing into the wild and taught her everything he knew about alchemy and survival. He left her on her own when she was 16 to fend for herself and continue his adventures on his own.
