Hest Finbok's personal secretary and closest companion, formerly a Bingtown Trader's son. A charming, gentle, well-groomed young man who has been Alise's friend since childhood. He is deeply bound to Hest emotionally. Hest sends him to accompany Alise to the Rain Wilds, ostensibly as chaperone, though Sedric is resentful. He meets privately with Chalcedean merchant Begasti Cored and appears to be scheming to acquire dragon parts for sale.
