Kalarus Brencis, is the High Lord of the realm of Kalare. Like most Lords, he's a strong crafter of all furies, though his primary fury is of fire. Most of the economy of his realm is through the exploitation and trade of slaves. Because of this, he is perpetually at odds with the Dianic League, which is attempting outlaw slavery. His son and heir is Kalarus Brencis Minoris, who harrasses Tavi because Tavi is furyless. His sister Lady Antillus marries Max's father Lord Antillus Raucus.
