Releth is one of the male Taltos who live on Ashlar’s Secret Isle, where many other Taltos also live in secrecy, far away from the mortal world. Ashlar’s son Silas causes rebellion, and retaliation by a mortal drug cartel ensues. When gun-carrying Drug Merchants invade the island, Releth is shot and killed.
Releth appears in Blood Canticle (2003). For more perspectives on his character, read the Alphabettery entries Ashlar, Drug Merchants, Silas, and Taltos.
