Lemex established himself in T'Telir as a spy in King Dedelin's service.

On their way to T'Telir, Vivenna and [[Parlin]] arranged via letter to meet with Lemex, whom Vivenna hoped to use as a mentor during her time in the city.

Denth claimed Lemex had fallen ill, though the roughly five hundred Breaths{{book ref|wb|13}} the man had accumulated while living in T'Telir rendered him immune to all disease. In reality, Denth had been poisoning Lemex for some time.{{book ref|wb|35}} Lemex regained lucidity long enough to have a short conversation with Vivenna in which he admitted that after inheriting Breaths from his predecessor, despite feeling it was wrong, he continued to seek out and buy more Breaths. Undeterred by Vivenna's attempts to ask him for names and passcodes to allow her access to the Idrian spy network, he remained fixated on his wrongdoing and kept discussing his Breaths. He gave them to Vivenna, who desperately did not want to take them; then, having lost the Breaths' resistance to poison, he died quickly{{book ref|wb|10}}.
