Beast & Bramble Codex

Cade

The uncompromising hard-line Warden who views all fell-beasts as threats.

Cade stands as a rigid pillar of the Cull's ideology, serving as a stark foil to Alder Pike in Books 7 and 11. Unlike his counterpart, who eventually defects from the order, Cade remains unwaveringly loyal to the mission throughout his appearances. He embodies the hard-line perspective that categorizes all fell-beasts not as creatures to be understood, but as existential threats that must be eliminated without exception.
