Lemex established himself in T'Telir as a spy in King Dedelin's service. The king funded the purchase of fifty Breaths for Lemex for the purpose of granting the man access to court assemblies, after which Lemex began fudging numbers in his expense reports, pocketing the extra money and using much of it to buy more Breaths for himself.{{book ref|wb|13}} The looming threat of war also contributed to the king's decision to send Lemex even greater resources.{{book ref|wb|17}} After [[Bluefingers]] hired [[Denth's crew]] to aid in inciting war between Hallandren and Idris, the crew sought out employment under Lemex as an in with the Idrian community.{{wob ref|6720}}{{wob ref|6723}} [[Denth]] began deftly manipulating Lemex into unwittingly aiding the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]] while making it seem like he was helping Idris. However, after some time Lemex began to grow less tractable; this together with the news of Vivenna's imminent arrival precipitated Denth's decision to poison Lemex.{{wob ref|6795}}

 

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. When they arrived at the restaurant chosen for their meeting place, they were instead met by his employees, two mercenaries named Denth and [[Tonk Fah]].{{book ref|wb|9}} The men took Vivenna to see Lemex, who was bed-ridden, feverish and pale. 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}}.
