Deret Beshelar

Deret Beshelar is a Lieutenant of the Untheileneise Guard and First Nohecharis to Edrehasivar VII.

Appearance
When Maia first saw him, Deret was a "sober-faced young man dressed as a soldier and with a soldier's topknot, but wearing the Drazhadeise seal on a baldric across his chest." At times he has a "flat, withering voice."

Personality
Deret typically appears to disapprove of most things, particularly things that Maia does.

Life
Deret served as a Lieutenant of the Untheileneise Guard until Varenechibel IV and his sons were killed on the Wisdom of Choharo, and Captain Verer Orthema assigned Deret to be Maia's First Nohecharis. He arrived first at the Tortoise Room and witnessed Maia having a fit of laughter, which Deret seemed to disapprove of.
