Baron Lionel
The wealthy philanthropist who funds Mina's Hollower work — and whose island lies at the heart of the crisis.
Baron Lionel is a philanthropist and patron who finances Mina’s expeditions as a Hollower. It is his investment in Spark Generator technology that brings Mina to Tenebrous Isle.
A patron in peril
Lionel’s trust is betrayed from within: Thorne, the former head of his own guard, turns against him and destroys the generators. The Baron’s fortunes — and the fate of the isle — become tangled with Mina’s mission to set things right.
