Count Ahan is an Arelene merchant from Sel.[1] He has a daughter, Torena, who is courted by Shuden.[2]
Appearance and Personality
He is very fat and has an air of arrogance about him, not seeming to take much seriously.[1][3] He is impetuous to a fault,[3] often speaking and acting without thinking.[4]
History
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.[5] He shared a friendly rivalry with Duke Roial and was constantly trying to either outdo or oppose him.[1][4] Ahan, along with Roial and several others, was part of Sarene's opposition to Iadon's rule and resistance to Hrathen's efforts to convert Arelon.[6][7]
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.[3] Ahan never recovered from the guilt of his betrayal. He lost much of his weight and thereafter only spoke in a dazed, sickly voice.[8]
