Karel van Reenen

When Karel stands on his porch and looks out all that he sees once belonged to him but is now lost to the Tladis, the Lebones and the wild.

Karel refuses to flee and even though he’s seen as the last of his kind in this region, Karel is an important figure in this community. He became instrumental in brokering a tenuous peace between the feuding Tladis and Lebones and as a result gained a stake in the lodge. Karel’s fight to keep a grip on his little piece of land is spurred on by the need to keep his family together. But inevitably that need leads him to push his children, Tristan and Sarah, away from him.

What he’s has failed to do as a father he makes up for as a grandfather – he and Amber are inseparable.
