Contents
Akura Realm
Akura Charity, the Sage of the Silver Heart is one of the three major powers in the Akura monarchy, along with her grandmother, Akura Malice, the Monarch, and her father, Akura Fury, a Herald. The Akura monarchy reign over western Ashwind continent, and all the vassal states. Charity gets involved with the Akura vassals, including the Blackflame Empire, the Seishen Kingdom, Sky’s Edge mining community, the Frozen Blade School, the Temple of Rising Earth, etc etc. One of her responsibilities is to select competitors for the 18th Uncrowned King Tournament from vassal states.
Akura Emblem
Charity is one of the three stars on the Akura flag.
The Akura family emblem glowed at the center of the black square. One large star and two small stars, all over three mountains. The stars and the mountains glowed purple. The star on the left represented Charity. Fury was the star on the right, and Malice the largest star in the center. The one that rose over them all. (Uncrowned ch 6)
Age & Appearance
Charity is ancient but she looks like she's only about nineteen years old, often seen with her hair pinned up loosely, wearing an artist's smock or peasant garb. Her age is not stated, exactly, but she is the granddaughter of Akura Malice, who was born roughly just over 500 years ago. Her father, Fury, is about 450 years old. So, Charity could be 400 years old, possibly.
Like her entire family, Charity has amethyst eyes and dark hair. She is often seen with one of her living forger techniques which is an owl that is purple and silver.
Path
Path of Seven Pages Book of the Silver Heart.
Mercy was familiar with Charity's Book of the Silver Heart. It contained seven techniques of shadow and dreams, so Charity lived in a world of abstractions. Of thoughts and visions. Her plans were so far beyond Mercy that Mercy could never comprehend them, but she tended to lose sight of other human beings. (Underlord ch 12)

Book Appearances
Ghostwater
She is introduced in Ghostwater, where she is watching Akura Harmony as he goes through Ghostwater. She has a talk with Yerin and directs her and Mercy to the other side of the island to find Lindon, although she does not allow Mercy inside her castle due to Malice's restrictions (see biography).
Underlord
Charity is in charge of organizing the vassal states' team for the tournament. She watches and interferes in the main characters' struggles, eventually choosing Lindon for her pick of the head team and Eithan, Naru Saeya, and Yerin for the vassals.
Uncrowned
As the left hand of Akura Malice, Charity is in charge of supervising the Akura family contestants to the Uncrowned Tournament. She sends Mercy to train, provides Lindon with resources and training programs, and gives the Blackflame vassal team consisting of Naru Saeya, Eithan Arelius, and Yerin Arelius various training packages. Later she views the Uncrowned tournament from the Akura family tower. She is pleased with the placings of the main family team as well as the vassal team. Charity appears to be acquainted with Min Shuei, the Sage of the Frozen Blade.
