Character

Logical. Precise. Deeply annoying.

Eryx is Lyra’s brother, and he has never met a desk he didn’t want to straighten or a drawing he didn’t want to criticise. He is sharp, logical, argumentative, and extremely pleased with his own opinions. Eryx can be irritating — spectacularly irritating — but he also brings an important contrast: the reminder that intelligence without kindness is not quite wisdom.
