Imriel De La Courcel
Imriel nó Montrève de la Courcel is the son of Benedicte de la Courcel, the great-uncle of Queen Ysandre de la Courcel, and Melisande Shahrizai, a traitor who attempted to seize the d'Angeline throne in both Kushiel's Dart and Kushiel's Chosen - the latter being with the help of his father. Rescued from slavery by Phèdre nó Delaunay and her consort Joscelin Verreuil in Kushiel's Avatar, he has been formally adopted into House Montrève.
His name, Imriel, means the 'eloquence of God'. He was so named because it was the first time his mother, Melisande Shahrizai, truly felt love and was amazed at the perfection of her son.
The novels, Kushiel's Scion, Kushiel's Justice and Kushiel's Mercy have Imriel as the protagonist and are thereby often dubbed the "Imriel trilogy".
