**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Count Ladislaus Csaky, Count Csaky

**First appearance:** 0006-iv-a-banquet-with-the-prince-of-transylvania

## Snapshot

A disgraced count who hunts monsters in the forest and trades in secrets, hoping each discovery will buy back his lost standing.

## Who they are

Csaky prowls the margins of power, a man whose reputation has fallen far enough that he must earn his way back through useful discoveries and well-timed revelations. He brings the Prince word of Banfi's hidden pleasure-house among the rocks, a piece of intelligence that transforms a private scandal into a matter of state. His eagerness to please his superiors and his willingness to expose the great lord's secrets make him a quiet but corrosive force in the novel's political machinery.
