Former Prince of Maze, the unfortunate Willis 'Twitchy' Bree. He's a 13-year-old little rat who was largely ignored in the royal realm until his parents and three elder siblings were assassinated. If that wasn't bad enough for the poor kid, he's a mute who lost his eye and part of his tail in an attempt on his own life when he was 12... and directing a war council to fight off the much more powerful Gawainian forces. After successfully repelling a Gawainian invasion, executing his head adviser and father-figure who had paid for the murder of his family and instigated the war, Willis stepped down from the monarchy... because what kind of 13-year-old needs that noise?

These days, he's passed between sympathetic members of Court whilst being tutored and raised as best a young noble can be. One point in his favor is that during the course of the war with Gawain, Willis was able to develop his telepathic abilities so that he is able to communicate with others via thoughts, though he still has some trouble controlling this ability.
