Crystall

Crystall is a sidhe lord, a member of the Queen's Ravens of Unseelie Court.

A Stroke of Midnight
He helped Meredith when she was solving the murders in faerie.

A Lick of Frost
He wanted to follow Meredith to exile, when Andais said that anybody who chose to follow Meredith to her exile, could. Andais revoked the offer, however, when it appeared most of her guard would abandon her.

He was trapped in the Unseelie court, and Andais tortured him the way she tortured traitors, and admitted she was thinking of Meredith while doing that.

Swallowing Darkness
When Meredith was opposed by Dilys at the battle outside the sithen, radiating her power; the heat of the sun, Merry sought her balance, her mate.

Crystall emerged from the darkness, crawling toward Dilys' light. When he entered her sphere, his wounds were healed and he reached out to her, "like a jewel thrown into the sun, gleaming with rainbows from the tips of his hair...."

When their hands brushed, her light became half silver, like the sparkle of sunlight on water. Merry said they would now be a couple and the parents of two children.
