Cadfael is an ogre and was previously a Mercadir. He and Ro trained together and were often paired up because of their similar strengths. He is one of the known rebel ogres working with the Neverseen.
In Flashback, it's revealed that Cad, as Ro calls him, is Ro's ex-boyfriend. Ro insists that she wouldn't hesitate to kill Cad for his treason, even if he is her ex.
Cad works with the Neverseen and helps them with their biological concerns. It can be guessed that Cad is working with the Neverseen for power. However, after Flashback it is unknown if he and his team are still affiliated with the Neverseen.
During Stellarlune it is revealed that Cadfael has a new target who is weakened by a river, with whom Cafael has a "score to settle". This leads Mr. Forkle to believe that Cadfael is planning to attack and overthrow King Dimitar, which Ro insists will not happen. Cadfael may be instead attacking the Councillors, or the trolls as revenge for making the troll hive at Everglen which led to Cad's fellow rebel ogres dying, both possible targets are located near rivers.
