On his way to supply at Rose Village, however, he meets the streetwalker Thistle. Curious about Thistle's similar traits to Dezar, Iris asks Thistle out to dinner, where he ultimately angers Thistle who leaves him without answers.

Relationships[]
Thistle[]
Iris has a somewhat mixed relationship with Thistle. While Iris saves Thistle and treats him kindly, much of it could be argued to simply derive from Iris' desire to complete his mission. However, a defining quality of their relationship is Iris' fascination with Thistle, which seems to extend beyond the mission parameters. After sleeping with Thistle, Iris also is shown to regret the action, showing his genuine care for Thistle's well-being.
Telari, the King of Fenaur[]
Not much is known about Iris' relationship with Telari. However, he does portray a sense of respect and duty to him.
Dezar[]
In The Hunter of Fenaur, Iris seems to possess a cold disdain for Dezar, arguably derived from the fact Dezar is his target.
