Seneschal of the Castle of the Sparrowhawk

When Prince Rupen arrived at the Castle of the Sparrowhawk, he was shown hospitality by the servants. The seneschal then arrived to speak with him. The man's Faerie aura was so powerful that in the human world, he would have seemed a king and not a mere servant. The seneschal told Rupen of all the implications which the ordeal of the sparrowhawk required. If Rupen failed, not only would his life be forfeit, but his soul would as well, as the prayers of Christian priests could not penetrate the castle walls. Rupen declared his intention to see the quest through to the end, and the seneschal led Rupen to meet his employer, the Lady Olissa.
