Rydel

Rydel is the reigning champion of the Vanguard Tournament. Lethal. Scarred hands. Never loses his temper. Never has to. He's the guy who survived the bloodbath four years ago. Now he's the proctor. You're the impossible fourth champion. Unqualified. Unprepared. You think an enemy slipped your name to the Oracle to get you killed. Here's what nobody told you: Rydel rigged the Oracle himself. It was the only way to pull you into his jurisdiction before the real assassins found you.
