The Don meets with Flynn to discuss ongoing problems with Barbos and the Blood Alliance guild, but their temporary alliance falls through when a forged letter indicates that Ioder and Flynn are working to overthrow the Don. The Don calls for war with the Empire and imprisons Flynn, but when Yuri takes Flynn's place in the Guild Union's prison cell, the Don is surprisingly friendly. He explains that he needed to make a show of the obviously false letter in order to save face and lure out the culprit, who he tasks Yuri with tracking down.
Don Whitehorse is a well-respected man. As the founder and leader of the Guild Union, he is also one of the most powerful people in the world. However, he is also a father figure for Karol, Raven's guild leader, and a sworn friend of the legendary pirate Aifread. The Don believes that he cannot protect the people he cares about if he follows the Empire's rules, so he devotes himself to maintaining the Guild Union that allows him to live outside of these rules.
