Erkhai (Ay-r-kh-eye)

Erkhai is the mate of Alkhai, and was presumed dead by her until he was found to have been captured, and subsequently found alive by Illei during her run through Library of Onin. She found him and spoke with him. She was not eaten due to her Dragonblood trait, which marked her as one of Alkhai's brood. He smelled her on Illei, and was confused, giving her the opportunity she needed to survive, before she was able to release him from his binding chains and freeing his magic once more.
