Early Life

He sends one of his spies, the Ghost, to poison Liriope with blusher mushroom in an attempt at getting rid of both her and the child. Dain beleives the child is dead, but Oriana had saved him and raised him as her own, naming him Oak, after the acorn in which Liriope sent her plea of aid.

The Cruel Prince

Although Dain is the third-born child, he has always wanted the crown and is willing to overcome all obstacles so that he may sit on his father's throne. The Court of Shadows is believed to have been created for the sole purpose of exploiting his brother Balekin's ambitions to overtake. Dain believes that he is the most loved and respected amongst his siblings in the eyes of his father.

Dain gets Jude to swear to him, in exchange, he puts a geas on her so she may resist enchantment against anyone except for him.

At one of their following meetings, in which Dain is mad at her for attacking Valerian and he makes her stab her own hand, her feelings for Dain darkened. After his death and when she discovers all the things he did and then covered up, she is convinced that she wasn’t following the right person.
