The Adderhead is the king of the Castle of the Night, dubbed "The Silver Prince" as a nickname. Many serve him, including the Piper, Capricorn's old minstrel, and Foxface. He is very powerful, yet there is one thing he is deathly scared of (omg, pun): Death itself. He had lots and lots of wives, mostly younger than him, and when most bore him a daughter, he married them off at a very young age. Violante herself was married off to Cosimo at age 7. 

When the Bluejay, also Mortimer Folchart, said that he could bind a book to make him immortal, the Adderhead agreed to let him free if the book really worked. Later, the Adderhead's book became rotten, and he is desperate for the book to be fixed. He ends up dying in the end, due to what was written on the paper that Meggie read aloud, as Fenoglio's plan to get rid of the Adderhead.
