==History==
===Background===
Hrathen was [[Fjordell]], and like other followers of [[Shu-Dereth]] he viewed [[Aonic]] magic as "heathen".{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Many people in Fjordell did not even believe that seons
===Assignment to Hrathen===
The seon was given to Hrathen and he kept her in a steel box with an elaborate locking system; he also kept the box itself well hidden.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Hrathen believed that the church would be embarrassed if common people knew that it used the magic that it condemned.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Seons cannot pass through solid matter{{wob ref|7816}} so Hrathen's seon was imprisoned, although she made no effort to escape when the box was opened.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} She remained unfailingly obedient, but Hrathen still felt disgust and distrust towards all seons, more so than other gyorns.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Hrathen's seon was generally forbidden to speak, and Hrathen sometimes left the box unopened for months.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} Their relationship was completely different from the loving connections seen between Aonic characters and their seons (such as [[Raoden]]'s with [[Ien]]){{book ref|Elantris|16}} and Hrathen's thoughts and actions were incongruous with what is known about the usual nature of the human-seon bond.{{
===As a communicator===
Unbeknownst to Hrathen, the [[Dakhor]] [[gragdet]] [[Dilaf]] always knew about his seon; at one point, he used her to contact [[Eventeo]] and threaten him.{{book ref|Elantris|59}} Her fate after Hrathen's death is not known.
