Rhysand was born to the then-High Lord of the Night Court and his mate, an Illyrian seamstress. He is half-High Fae, and half-Illyrian, and once had a younger sister. When Rhysand was eight, his mother took him to an Illyrian war camp to be trained as she did not want him to rely on his Fae powers alone. He is now High Lord of the Night Court and the most powerful high lord in history
