Reshema

Reshema was a courier and the lover of Pazhis Nethenel.

Appearance
Reshema was barely older than Maia Drazhar (so likely his 20s). He wore courier's leathers to the Winternight Ball. “He was part goblin; although his skin was somewhat paler than Maia’s, his hair was black and his eyes were fiery orange.”

Personality
Reshema had an unflappable calm about him.

Life
Reshema became the lover of Pazhis at least by the spring equinox before The Goblin Emperor.

Reshema attended the Winternight Ball with Pazhis on Maia's 19th birthday. He danced with Vedero Drazhin. Eshevis Tethimar stopped to speak to Pazhis (who was with Reshema), saying that Pazhis would regret his loyalties, likely because the Nethenada had been in disagreement with the Tethimada for some time. Reshema and Pazhis believed that Eshevis "must have gained some important concession from" Maia, to justify his words. They had no idea that Eshevis would attempt to assassinate Maia.

Captain Vizhenka spotted the conversation between Eshevis and the two men. Reshema and Pazhis went to the Verven'theileian and "expressed their desire to cooperate" with the investigation into the assassination attempt. Maia spoke to Pazhis first, who explained the House situation and Eshevis' threat.

When Maia told Csevet Aisava he wished to speak to Reshema next, Pazhis protested that Reshema knew nothing of the conspiracy. When Reshema joined them, he told Maia what he and Pazhis had discussed prior to the assassination. Reshema apologized for not being more helpful, and the two men were dismissed.

Pazhis Nethenel
Pazhis was very protective of Reshema, though he was seemingly nervous about being close to powerful people in the company of his male lover.
