Aradan Yomen was an obligator of the Final Empire on Scadrial.

Originally coming from Luthadel he was the Prelan of of the Canton of Resource in the Western Dominance and had his seat in Fadrex City.

As the former king of the Dominance, Ashweather Cett, left for the Siege of Luthadel, Yomen seized the chance to appoint himself as the new king of the Western Dominance. He reintroduced the social structures under the Lord Ruler, which did not encounter resistances, because the people were used to it. He escaped an assassination with a Hemalurgy spike.

Some months before the Final Ascension, Elend Venture moved the army of the New Empire to Fadrex City, which lead to the Siege of Fadrex City. The siege resulted in an alliance between Yomen and Venture.

He had a fondness for philosophic literature and believed that Lord Ruler was the one and only god. He did not believe in his death and held the view that he would return someday to reign again.

He was the first known atium misting, which prompted the discovery of the mistfallen's allomantic powers.

Notes

He was named for the winner of an auction by Brandon Sanderson for character naming rights.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
