Byrne Mirk

Byrne Mirk was an administrator to King Nuven and the real father of Alex Walton. He felt bad for Prince Soria Walton's wife, Adele after seeing her being mistreated. He tried everything in his power to make her happy but in the process, fell in love with her and together, they had a child.

Soria found out. He told Mirk that he would let them go and would settle everything in a hunting trip in which he brought Adele and Alex along. Unfortunately, an assassin sent from Constellation (that might be Yodel) caused the death of both Soria and Adele.

Later on, it was revealed by Nate Monty who was the personal assassin of Soria at the time that Soria had never intended to let Mirk and Adele go. The hunting trip was supposed to be a way for Monty to kill Adele, Mirk, and their daughter to wipe all the traces of the scandal.

King Nuven also finds out about this and rather than sending Mirk to his death, he punishes him by killing Alex in front of him. Mirk is then exiled from Eckstedt and the White Blade Guards. His daughter's body was to never be buried on Eckstedt soil.

After Nuven's death, Mirk joins Nicholas in fighting against Chapman Lampard's revolt and when they won, Mirk left and never appeared again.
