Miri met Timon in book 2, Palace of Stone. He is the first one to speak to her when Miri arrives at the Queen's Castle.

Timon is part of a group that has meetings called Salons that are trying to get rid of the King and Britta, the soon-to-be Princess. Timon falls in love with Miri and kisses her, though Miri told him about her betrothed, Peder. Although he loves Miri, she has split feelings between Peder and Timon.
