Biography[]

After the events of the Black Night, Maxim Maresh chose Staff and Hastra as Kell's new guards.[2]

Troublesome princes[]

In February 1820, Staff, along with Hastra, Vis, and Tolners, waits for Kell and Rhy Maresh to return from their trip into the city. When Kell asks Staff and Hastra to help him with a drunk and injured Rhy, they do nothing and remain quiet.[2] The next day, Staff escorts Kell to the sunroom where Maxim, Rhy, and Emira Maresh have lunch. Maxim then orders Kell to deliver a letter to Grey London,[1] and Staff and Hastra wait in the Naresh Kas for Kell's return and lead him to the king.

Though they do not lead Kell back to his room, they take up their position in front of it until Rhy beckons them inside. He informs them that Kell was assigned an undercover mission: He will enter the Essen Tasch as Kamerov Loste to investigate a threat to the tournament. For that reason, one of his guards will have to pose as his second, his attendant. Hastra happily volunteers.[3]
