Karthik Veisi

Karthik Veisi is Sir Elomas Redgrave's squire and nephew, approximately fifteen years old. He is a member of Emesh's ruling Veisi family — kin to Archon Perun Veisi — and serves at the Calagah excavation camp. He is greeted warmly by name by Centurion Vriell during the evacuation of the dig team following the Cielcin ship crash, with Vriell tousling his hair, indicating he is known to Springdeep personnel. In the confusion following the crash, he asks whether the evacuation orders came from his father or from the count — a question suggesting both family ties to Archon Veisi and awareness of the competing chains of command governing the site.
