Elphin

Elphin, who is not Romany, married into the tribe at the extreme chagrin of Dulcy. Having originally failed to pay a suitable bride-price, his later offers were repeatedly turned away as being insulting, until he got smart and bribed everyone in the tribe with gifts before making his next offer to Dulcy. With the rest of the tribe behind him, Dulcy had no choice but to grudgingly accept his offer for Delia’s hand.

Elphin is easygoing and quiet, with an acerbic, deadpan wit that runs from mildly smart-alecky to hilariously abusive. He usually starts out any note he might send to Dulcy "Dear Black-haired Wretch."

He is a very skilled fencer, and has attained the rank of Provost.
