Jordde accompanies the group as a representative of Argo, the deity also known as Leptar, lending the expedition a religious dimension it might otherwise lack. His presence raises the stakes: the party is not merely treasure-hunting but moving through territory claimed by a god. Whether he is guide, spy, or something in between is a question the early chapters leave deliberately open, and his loyalties shape how the group reads every sign along the way.
