 Prandine is thought by Lief to be a Grade 3 Ol, due to a speech made by Fallow in the fifth book of the first series (Dread Mountain).However, he is the one who puts the Belt of Deltora on King Endon's waist when he becomes king.The fact that he is able to touch the Belt without harm suggests that he may not be an Ol, instead a human whose appearance is altered to suit the Shadow Lord.
