In general he is considered slow-witted or even dull. In truth, Taravangian once went to go visit the Nightwatcher and received a curse and boon from the Old Magic. As a result of this his intelligence fluctuates from day to day, sometimes making him idiotic and sometimes a genius. He makes tests for himself the night before, and if he can't achieve a certain score in the morning his guards have orders to keep him away from important decisions for that day.Cite error: Invalid <ref>

Secret activity
Taravangian runs a secret hospital hidden in the King's palace. It was built in a large, long room with wide railings on the sides. The room is filled with hundreds of beds, and the people in those beds are slowly killed in the way of draining the blood out of them.Cite error: Invalid <ref>

So in order to prepare for it, he began collecting the quotes. The people who collected these quotes were called the Silent Gatherers.Cite error: Invalid <ref>
