Kildred

Kildred, also known as the First Guardian, is a historical figure of importance throughout all four books. After surviving the Dark War, he was one of the sìolnachs who believed in Rùna. For this, he was rewarded with the divine power of renewing life, with the job of healing the kings and queens of the realm. In sacrificing himself for the sake of the war between light and darkness, Kildred earned a place among the stars.
