Full name Class Nationality First appearanceThe Black Gryphon (novel) Lionwind was the Clan Chief of the Kaled'a'in clan k'Leshya during the Mage Wars. A mindhealer, he is described as a graceful man, a "perpetual Dawn greeter," with a silent step and his hair in heavy braids. (The Black Gryphon, Chapter 16) It was under Lionwind's leadership that k'Leshya made the decision to evacuate the camp around Urtho's Tower with the gryphons, rather than the rest of the Kaled'a'in, leading to their status as the "lost clan."
