Count '''Ahan'''
== Appearance and Personality ==
Ahan is very fat and has an air of arrogance about him, not seeming to take much seriously.{{book ref|Elantris|11}}{{book ref|Elantris|53}} He is impetuous to a fault,{{book ref|Elantris|53}} often speaking and acting without thinking.{{book ref|Elantris|32}} It seems that Ahan never quite understands the gravity of his situation until his actions lead to [[Roial]]'s death.{{book ref|elantris|53}} After this, Ahan falls into a deep depression born from self-loathing.{{book ref|elantris|epilogue}}
== History ==
Shortly after [[Telrii]] seized control of Arelon in the wake of Iadon's death, Ahan betrayed the group of resisters in an effort to finally best his long-time rival. Things took a turn for the unexpected when Roial was killed for treason.{{book ref|Elantris|53}} Ahan never recovered from the guilt of his betrayal. He lost much of his weight, and thereafter only spoke only in a dazed, sickly voice.{{book ref|Elantris|Epilogue}} ▼
Following the [[Reod]], Ahan rose to prominence in [[Iadon]]'s income-based meritocracy, gaining the title of count. Where his fortune fell within the Arelon system is unknown, but was no higher than fourth.{{book ref|elantris|8}} He shared a friendly rivalry with Duke [[Roial]] and was constantly trying to either outdo or oppose him. In fact, Ahan joined [[Raoden]]'s group thinking he was opposing Roial and was shocked to see that Roial was also a member.{{book ref|Elantris|11}}{{book ref|elantris|32}} After Raoden was taken by the [[Shaod]], Ahan, along with Roial, [[Eondel]] and [[Shuden]], was part of [[Sarene]]'s opposition to [[Iadon]]'s rule and resistance to [[Hrathen]]'s efforts to convert Arelon.{{book ref|elantris|20}}{{book ref|elantris|47}}
