Evret Hayle was Queen Levana's late husband and Winter Hayle's father. His first wife was Solstice Hayle, who had died previously due to maternal death.
History
Evret was a royal guard in King Marrok's personal entourage when Levana was eight years old and she loved him since that time. Evret Hayle was also ten years her senior. In the beginning of Fairest, Evret was 27 years old when Levana was 15. He was kind with Levana. He was married to and devoted to Solstice, a seamstress who died in childbirth. Levana manipulated Evret by taking on Solstice's appearance and making Evret wed her. He never loved her, but did care for her to some degree. When Levana had revealed herself to Evret without glamour, he was shocked. Shortly afterwards, Levana ordered the past head thaumaturge, Joshua Haddon to stab Evret Hayle to death. Levana was deeply saddened by this, and killed the thaumaturge but she moved on quickly as to marry Prince Kaito of the Eastern Commonwealth to conquer Earth. As of this and her love life, she secretly promised herself that Evret Hayle would always be her only true love by always wearing their wedding ring around her finger.
Levana made a deal with Thaumaturge Haddon: if Haddon would kill Evret, She would marry him and crown him king of Luna. But when Evret died, Levana betrayed him and stabbed the thaumaturge in the chest.
Characteristics
Physical attributes
Evret was described by Levana as having dark brown skin, brown curly hair, and a muscled body. He had bright eyes with emerald and gray in his irises, like Winter.
Personality
Evret was a kind and polite man who was fully dedicated to his wife, Solstice Hayle (which was a rare thing on Luna). He attempted to resign from guard duties after Solstice died, but Levana refused to allow this. Evret was subsequently manipulated by Queen Levana who took on Solstice's appearance for the duration of her marriage to Evret. Although Evret did not love Levana, he presented her with gifts out of sympathy and protected her from Haddon the night he died. He loved his daughter, Winter, so much that his last words to Levana were "Promise, my Queen. Promise you'll take care of her."
Relationships
Solstice Hayle
Solstice Hayle was Evret's first wife and he loved her very much. Their love for each other as a couple was very well-supported by each other. Evret was immensely mournful and distraught when Solstice died at childbirth, so much so that he decided to name their child "Winter", born on the winter solstice. He was protective of Solstice and was entirely devoted to her, never being tempted by Levana's ploys to foil their marriage.
Levana Blackburn
Levana was Evret's second wife and loved Evret from a very young age. Evret noticed her feelings, however made sure to avoid the topic of romance when around her. Levana was aware of the fact that despite their age and status differences, she wanted to make a romantic relationship between them work at whatever cost. She was incredibly jealous when she heard of Evret's marriage with Solstice and saw to it that she would never be defeated by Solstice. In fact, she had been so engulfed in envy that she decided to imitate Solstice's appearance following her death, figuratively forcing Evret into marriage. Evret evidently pitied Levana, and felt manipulated in their marriage. Levana did trust Evret, however, as he was possibly the only Lunar she had ever shown her true appearance to. Because she knew Emperor Rikan would be a more advantageous match, Levana made a deal with a thaumaturge, promising to reward him the throne of Luna if he killed Evret. Levana was incredibly distraught over this, and manipulated the thaumaturge to kill himself. Despite Levana's behavior, she still honored her husband by wearing their engagement ring on her finger.
Winter Hayle
Evret loved his daughter very much, and the two of them blatantly had a better relationship than their relationship with Levana. Winter honored her father and knew him very well despite his early death.
