  • Lazare—the proprietor. He was once a mine owner (having bought the mine with his dragonchess winnings), but was bankrupted soon after he arrived in Diamond Lake and his mines taken over by Balabar Smenk. Lazare is a widower, and dotes on his daughter Dannath, a reminder of his lost love and better days.
