Character 5 :Jamison

   Jamison is Kira's defendant in court, and her overseer after the sentence. He is a member of the Council of the Guardians and he claims to have seen the fatal attack upon Kira's father.

   He observes Kira's work each day, and kind of helps her adjust to her new life in the Council Edifice. Kira's new life in the Edifice brings to light things she never would have known otherwise. She learns the truth behind her parents suspicious deaths, the secret that lies in the cellar of the Edifice, and the pain behind the voice of the Singer.
   Jamison normally wears an indifferent mask. He listens infrequently to Kira's descriptions of her life in her new home, and lies to Kira's face about matters he believes are no concern of hers. It seems that he has deemed her incapable of making important decisions, seeing as he decides the many aspects of her life for her.
   He lied to Kira about her father's death, and Kira believes he also lied about the deaths of her mother, Thomas the Carver's parents, Jo(the future Singer)'s parents, and Annabella the dyer. He only puts up with her so that he and the other Guardians can keep Kira's, Thomas's, and Jo's talents locked within the dark corridors of the Council Edifice.
   Jamison is an excellent liar, and a cruel, selfish, loser who does what he is told by the other Guardians, no matter what sacrifices his victims have to make. He has no feelings for people other than himself, and willing submits to a higher human power because if he doesn't he will likely be killed, based upon how easily his society assigns the death penalty to innocent people.
