Cinder (Kingkiller Chronicles)

Cinder is a major antagonist from The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. He is a member of the mysterious, malicious group known as the Chandrian. In the novels, he is the most seen out of all the Chandrian, and is notable for killing Kvothe's parents.

Description
His most notable feature is purely black eyes with no sclerae. This feature is seen among the Fae, which suggests that he may be a Fae. He also has long white hair and porcelain skin.

History
Cinder killed Kvothe's parents because they had been researching the Chandrain. He also killed their entire troupe. When Kvothe found them, Cinder proceded to torment Kvothe, but was stopped by Haliax, who called out his true name to punish CInder for challenging his authority. CInder was about to kill Kvothe, but the Chandrian fled from an unknown threat.

The Chandrian then killed all attendants at the wedding because they discovered pottery depicting the Chandrian. Kvothe was later given an image of the Chandrian by Nina, which was copied from the pottery. The image showed Cinder standing in water amidst snow.

Later Kvothe led a group of bandits in the Eld Forest for some unknown purpose. When Kvothe attacked the bandits, Cinder was immune to injury. He then disappeared without a trace. Afterwards, the Cthaeh told Kvothe the identity of the bandit leader.

From the Ademre, Kvothe learned a rhyme about the Chandrian, which said that Cinder's true name was Ferule.
