Tiergan Andrin Alenefar, also known as Granite, is a secondary character in Keeper of the Lost Cities.
He is a Telepath and Sophie's Mentor at Foxfire. He also teaches Fitz Vacker, another talented Telepath.
Nicknames[]
He does not like being called Sir Tiergan, preferring just Tiergan. During Neverseen, Tiergan is revealed to be Granite, part of the Collective of the Black Swan.
Appearance[]
Tiergan is described to have olive skin, shoulder-length pale blond hair, and dark blue eyes. It also states that he has a short ponytail on the back of his head. While his face holds youth, something ancient shines in his eyes. He is described as tall and lean, but slightly shorter than Alden, and is considered to be one of the most challenging elves to win a friendship with .
As Granite, he is described to look like a vague, bulky statue, due to the Indurite (a type of chalk) that he consumes.
Abilities[]
Tiergan was one of the most talented Telepaths before Sophie Foster came, which is why he was appointed as her Mentor.
Relationships[]
Wylie Endal[]
- Adoptive son
Wylie was adopted by Tiergan after both of his parents were lost. Tiergan is shown to be very protective of Wylie in all of the books, especially after Wylie was attacked by the Neverseen.
Prentice Endal[]
- Best friend, possible love interest
Prentice and Tiergan were very close—so close that Tiergan was first in line to adopt Wylie before Wylie's actual family. When Prentice's mind was broken, Tiergan was full of grief and blamed Alden for the incident because Alden was the one who accused Prentice of rebellion.
Sophie Foster[]
Tiergan came back from retirement to Foxfire to teach Sophie. He respects her a lot and believes in her abilities and ideas and trusts her to make good decisions.
Alden Vacker[]
- Frenemy/Co-worker
Tiergan has a lot of anger towards Alden, blaming him for the loss of Prentice. He seems to gain more respect for Alden, however, after he finds Sophie. He also is able to get past his own feelings to help the Vacker family with the grief of the loss of Alden when his mind is broken.
Mr. Forkle[]

References[]
Tiergan Andrin Alenfar is a telepathy mentor at Foxfire, adoptive father of Wylie Endal, and a member of the Black Swan under the alias of Granite. He lives at Solreef as mentioned in Unlocked, and is a Telepath, reinforced by his career at Foxfire, mentioned earlier. After his best friend Prentice Endal was subjected to a memory break preformed by Quinlin Sonden and Alden Vacker, he took in the orphaned Wylie as his own, and resented the Vacker family for Alden's role in Prentice's condition. He's interacted with Sophie Foster as both Granite and Sir Tiergan.
