== History ==
=== On Taldain ===
Baon was sent by [[Skathan]] to [[Dayside]] to investigate whether the [[Diem|sand masters]] posed a threat to the Dynasty.{{book ref|
When Captain [[Deral]] and his lieutenant attempted to sell their party to the [[Dynastic]]{{ref|text=Only stated explicitly in the [[White Sand (prose)|prose]].}} border patrol, Baon killed both of them to ensure that they escaped safely. He took Deral's pistols for himself thinking that no one would notice them for what they were.{{book ref|ws|12|review=yes}}
Soon after his departure Khriss began to miss his company and help, and regretted sending him away so hastily, without giving him a chance to explain himself.{{book ref|ws|13|review=yes}}
Later, Khriss confronted Nilto at the docks loudly calling to him by his true name, Gevin. Acron, revealing himself as an assassin sent by Skathan to find and kill the missing prince, pulled out a pistol and moved to shoot Gevin. Baon reappeared then, and pushed a crate of fruit down onto Acron from atop a tall stack of crates, knocking the man to the ground. While he was talking to Khriss, Acron recovered and still on the ground, fired his gun at Baon, grazing him on his arm. After Khriss killed Acron, Baon explained that while he was indeed an agent of the Dynasty, his mission did not conflict with his obligation to guard Khriss, and so he was able to fulfill both of them. He explained that his mission, which was to investigate the threat the sand masters posed to the Dynasty, was complete, since in fact they had discovered that the magic could not be used on Darkside. Khriss asked him to retake his position as her guard and he agreed. Later at the Diem, Baon explained how he killed Deral to protect them from being betrayed to the border patrol.{{book ref|
Baon traveled with Khriss to [[Lraezare]] when she was chasing [[Vey]] with Kenton and [[Delius]].{{book ref|ws3|3}} When they were attacked by assassins on their journey back to Kezare, Baon was locked below decks with Ais, and was unable to join the fight. After Aarik intervened, joining the fight with ferocity and skill, Baon expressed surprise that the man was hiding skill. He helped Ais put the bodies of the assassins on a boat which their ship towed back to Kezare.{{book ref|ws3|4}}
