{{quote
|Rira to [[Vivenna]]{{book ref|wb|31}}
}}
Rira's father brought him to [[Hallandren]] when Rira was very young.{{book ref|wb|31}} His father died working in the dye fields, harvesting the [[Tears of Edgli]]. Eventually Rira became part of the Idrian underworld and gained enough power and influence to become considered to be a slumlord. He bought [[Breath]] and ran some prostitution operations.
However, Rira's interests in an Idrian rebellion were not as pure as Vivenna had hoped.{{book ref|wb|31}} He wanted a promise of [[Fafen]]'s hand in marriage in order to gain his support for the rebellion. He believed that war between Hallandren and Idris was inevitable. When Vivenna showed disgust for Rira and the others, he claimed that he took care of the Idrians better than Vivenna could do.
▲== Appearance & Personality ==
▲{{quote|But even patriots should earn rewards. Right?|Rira{{book ref|wb|31}}}}
▲Rira was at least of the [[Heightening#First Heightening|First Heightening]] and possibly of the [[Heightening#ThirdHeightening|Third Heightening]].{{book ref|wb|31}} He was a handsome man, but dressed sloppily, but in a relaxed way.
▲Rira was a very wealthy self-indulgent man.{{book ref|wb|31}} However, he genuinely felt that he did right by the Idrian people. He claimed to have kept them fed, even if it involved illegal or immoral actions. Rira honestly believed that he did more for the Idrians than Vivenna or Idris itself would. Rira was interested in a potential Idrian uprising in Hallandren, but only so far as it helped further his interests. Rira believed himself a patriot, but also thought patriots deserved rewards for their service, which disgusted Vivenna.
▲Rira was still strong in his faith in [[Austre]], chiding Vivenna for ignoring the [[Five Visions]] by judging him.{{book ref|wb|31}} He always wore a small Austrin charm of obedience, inscribed with the names of his parents under his shirt.
