In book one, Ruhn Danaan shares his understanding of Prince Pelias when working with Bryce and Hunt to try to find the Horn. According to what Ruhn has been told growing up, Prince Pelias was the first Starborn Fae to enter Midgard. His ability to wield starlight is what enabled him to utilize Luna's Horn to cross the Northern Rift. However, during a scene that takes place in the Griffin Antiquities archives, Ruhn is surprised to learn that Prince Pelias had actually been the high general of a Fae Queen named Theia.

While reading an ancient text, Ruhn also uncovers that "Pelias was one of several Fae back then with the Starborn power," leading him to conclude that Fae with similar powers had likely been more common in the original Fae realm than they were in Midgard (Ch. 29). Ruhn also discovers that Queen Theia and her daughter, Helena, were Starborn.
