Adien is an Elantrian child from Sel.

Relationships

He is the son of Daora, step-son of Kiin, younger brother to Lukel, older half-brother to Kaise and Daorn, and cousin to Sarene.[1]

Appearance and Personality

Adien is from Kae, born autistic.Template:Annotation ref Throughout his childhood, Adien moves in an awkward, stiff, uncontrolled manner. He constantly mumbles numbers (e.g., distances to landmarks in steps)[1] and words (e.g., "Elantris")[2] to himself. Adien has a natural way with numbers, instinctively knowing the distance in strides between any two locations.[3]

History

In his early teens, five years before Raoden heals Elantris, Adien is taken by the Shaod.[4] Unwilling to have him thrown into the city, his family conceals his condition with makeup[5] and keeps him close to home. The makeup gives Adien a pale white complexion with a strange cast to his face.[1] Because of his new condition, Adien spends much of his time sleeping.[1] With his family's help, Adien accomplishes the unprecedented feat of staving off becoming Hoed for those five years.

When Raoden meets him, Adien is a thin-faced boy in his late teens.[1] After Raoden heals Elantris, Adien gives him the exact distance to Teod so that Raoden can effectively use Aon Tia to rescue Sarene.

Future Roles

Adien is the planned protagonist in the Elantris sequel.[6] It is also expected that Hrathen's seon will be passed to Adien in the sequel.Template:Annotation ref
