So that was Rerir, one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. I mean I guess one of them had to be the weakest and our introduction to their group but running away like that just because the Traveler sucked up the Abyssal Energy from whatever's in the lantern was pretty lame.
I'm glad it was Rerir though. A long while ago I theorized that Rerir was the one being influenced by the Abyssal Moon to recruit the other Sinners and he had the most selfish reasons to betray Khaenri'ah. He was descended from the old regime so he wanted revenge and he wanted his son the Vinster King to replace King Irmin. The others all had to be convinced and they betrayed Khaenri'ah after figuring out that it couldn't be saved.
It'll be nice to wipe the floor with this guy so let's see how that'll happen next time!
