For you see, Nameless Ravine is a man at war with himself. On one side stands his father's teachings; on the other side lies the violence and anger and battle-lust of his predecessor. This is visible in his fighting style; when his mind is calm, his defensive posture is immaculate; and from a defensive posture, he can channel all of his rage into a single, excellent strike against the aggressor. In this moment of inversion between defense and attack, between life and death, between yin and yang , Nameless Ravine is in perfect harmony. At all other times, he is in turmoil. | For you see, Nameless Ravine is a man at war with himself.

They are surrounded by [[The Mask of Winters]], by [[Lookshy]]'s Seventh Legion, and by the forces of the Wyld Hunt. As much as it is in his nature to lash out at his foes in anger, Nameless Ravine feels he must restrain himself lest he bring ruin upon himself and his friends. |
Among his oathsworn fellows, he is perhaps closest to [[Song of the Silver Wind]], with whom he shares an understanding of the duties and responsibilities required of the master of an estate. While he honors [[Storm of Amber]] as an older brother, their confrontation over the issue of granting a Captaincy to the Raksha [[Arin]] has shown a rift in ideals and judgement that a cunning foe may yet exploit. | Among his oathsworn fellows, he is perhaps closest to [[Song of the Silver Wind]], with whom he shares an understanding of the duties and responsibilities required of the master of an estate.
