Who was Lamair Griswold? He was many things—a proud member of the prestigious Griswold family, the son of its powerful patriarch, one of Ethan's closest friends, a subordinate of Ethan, the lover of Lusamine Seikiro, and the secret yearning of Cassandra Casa. But above all, Lamair was a controller, a master strategist, a manipulator—a Puppeteer.
When Lamair first awakened his affinity, disappointment had weighed heavy on him. His elder brothers mocked him relentlessly, calling him a failure and an embarrassment to the Griswold legacy. Yet, amidst the ridicule, his father's reaction was strikingly different. The family patriarch roared with laughter, congratulating Lamair and declaring him "one of the rare, blessed awakeners" of the Puppeteering Affinity.
