Haron

Compendium
Haron is the master of capitalizing. He takes the hand he's dealt and makes the most of it, all the while seeming to thrive no matter what way he's forced to adapt. A critic might say it would be easy to roll with the punches when your lot in life is wealth, power and infamy, but Haron isn't concerned with justifying his existence. He sees the world in his own particular way, and uses his means to achieve personal goals which other Gha'alians perceive as frivolous or pointless. It's been considered that Haron to ever set his sights on a larger ambition, he might be a force to be reckoned with; eerily capable of talking, buying, manipulating, bribing and threatening his way in and out of all manner of things. Perhaps thankfully, his concerns have always been personal and self serving.

Personality
Clever, persistent, curious and considered by some to be charming, Haron finds the protagonist instantly dazzling.

Obnoxiously optimistic, and annoyingly inquisitive are often used words to describe Haron. Of course these words are used by the casual observer, or his ever suffering brother. Perhaps there's more beneath the veneer, but if there is, the mask is dense, and firmly set...

Early Days
“By the time Lonre’s third child was born he was thoroughly adapted to small persons underfoot. When Haron learned to walk, there was no more keeping track of him. In their household, learning to walk was akin to falling out of a nest; mother would mostly disappear, as in leaving her realm you were leaving her behind. But the transition came naturally for Haron, always too eager to see whatever was behind the next door. This is what he learned from his mother.

His sister taught him next. With Haron’s mother tethered so and his wanderlust as it were, Arvon was the only woman he had about to pull and cling to. She had little patience for him while he was youngeer, but eventually she was won over, and this is how Haron learned to pull and pluck people. From Ernol he learned to forge closeness; to tread the distance and close in despite resistance. He learned to be stubborn, steadfast and resilient. But greatest of all, Haron learned from his father. From him, he learned to see the world under a light that made it all glitter, and with eyes like that, who wouldn’t be happy?”
