Lhan is |
Lhan is an ardent to the queen who loves the ease of the life that he has been given. He does as little work as he can, which is very little, and eats as much as he can. He sees no problem with the amount of food that goes to waste in [[Kholinar Palace]], or that people in the kingdom are poor and starving. |

Lhan went out to meet Pai in the morning because he was assigned to show her around the queen's palace. Lhan explains to her that the queen gave her ardents easy lives because she feared that the Almighty was displeased with her. He loves this even though he is aware of the hypocrisy. Many ardents write poetry about the queen but Lhan feel that this resembles work far too much, and doesn't do this. He tried to show her all the wonderful luxuries of the palace, but did not succed in making her happy about all this. He is horrified when he sees her graffiti about the queen resembling the Ten Fools. |

During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Lhan succumbed to [[Ashertmarn]] and became known as Kharat. He introduced [[Shallan]] to the revel; calling her Kishi, he kept her in the outer ring of the revel and told her she couldn't go inside. He ate sweets and plied Shallan with wine. Insisting that he was to keep watch on Shallan, Kharat sat outside her door when she found an empty room in a nearby building and told him she needed some time to herself. [[Pattern]] snuck into the hallway and repeated the whispers they had heard from Ashertmarn, enticing Kharat to go back outside to look for a drink. He came back in and settled down in the hallway again, unaware that he was now guarding an illusion of Veil and that Shallan had walked right by him wearing a new face.{{book ref|sa3|78}} |

*Lhan is a viewpoint character in ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'' whose storyline is intertwined with that of [[Taln]]. Since [[Taln]]'s story has been postponed to the latter half of [[The Stormlight Archive]], Lhan is featured in an interlude in [[Words of Radiance]] instead.{{wob ref|12115}} |
