'''Adien''' was an [[Elantrian]] from [[Sel]], son of [[Daora]], step-son of [[Kiin]], younger brother to [[Lukel]], older step-brother to [[Kaise]] and [[Daorn]], and cousin to [[Sarene]].{{ref|b|eElantris|c|5}}
 
Adien was from [[Kae]], born autistic.{{annotation ref|eElantris|chapter=60-3}} Throughout his childhood, Adien moved in an awkward, stiff, uncontrolled manner. He constantly mumbled numbers (e.g. - distances to landmarks in feet){{ref|b|eElantris|c|5}} and words (e.g. - "Elantris"){{ref|b|eElantris|c|8}} to himself. Adien had a natural way with numbers, instinctively knowing how many strides exist between any two locations.{{ref|b|eElantris|c|62}}
 
In his early teens, five years before Raoden heals Elantris, Adien was taken by the [[Shaod]].{{ref|b|eElantris|c|60}} Unwilling to have him thrown into [[Elantris (city)|the city]], his family concealed Adien's condition with makeup{{ref|b|eElantris|epilogue}} and kept him close to home. The makeup gave Adien a pale white complexion with a strange cast to his face.{{ref|b|eElantris|c|5}} Because of his new condition, Adien spent much of his time sleeping.{{ref|b|eElantris|c|5}} With his family's help, Adien accomplished the unprecedented feat of staving off becoming [[Hoed]] for those five years.
 
Roughly five years before Raoden heals Elantris, Adien was a thin-faced boy in his late-teens.{{ref|b|eElantris|c|5}} After [[Raoden]] healed Elantris, Adien gave him the exact distance to [[Teod]] so that Raoden could effectively use [[Aon#Tia|Aon Tia]] to rescue Sarene.
