The Jester

`Oh yes! And then all that was in sight were dead bodies. And then, after skipping across them, I came upon a jester! Oh yes oh yes it gets better! I found my true self! I was no longer boring old farmer boy Calder Gray... I was The Jester! ' ~ The Jester, The Assassin Templar: Mist of Astovia.

Calder Gray, better known as The Jester, was a mad assassin in the J.S.Frost series The Assassin Templar. He is an assassin working for the Dark Legion, a group of assassins, and formerly The Night Order, now a full-Elf assassin order. He states in the first book he was very close to Ronin Snow, a Snow Elf assassin.

Book 1

The Jester is ordered to murder Sir Roland, a high-class lord who recently made a deal with Christoff. Christoff then finds out about the killer of Roland and sends master archer Quilldorr Valwaek out to kill him. The Jester turns around and smiles at Quilldorr and says `are the elves at it again?' Quilldorr lowers his bow when Calder shows him a sack of gold.

Book 2

The Jester finds out the head assassin of The Night Order is starting a war, so he asks the order if he could help. He is rejected so he goes to the Elfen Army, who hire him to be the housecarl of Lokyir, the Elfen Prince. Lokyir and Calder get along and fight together.
