He sees no problem with the amount of food that goes to waste in [[Kholinar Palace]], or that people in the kingdom are poor and starving. Though many ardents write poetry about the queen, Lhan feels that this resembles work far too much and never does so.{{book ref|sa2|i|12}}

During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Lhan succumbed to [[Ashertmarn]] and became known as Kharat. He introduced [[Shallan]] to the revel; calling her Kishi, he kept her in the outer ring of the revel and told her she couldn't go inside. He ate sweets and plied Shallan with wine. Insisting that he was to keep watch on Shallan, Kharat sat outside her door when she found an empty room in a nearby building and told him she needed some time to herself. [[Pattern]] snuck into the hallway and repeated the whispers they had heard from Ashertmarn, enticing Kharat to go back outside to look for a drink. He came back in and settled down in the hallway again, unaware that he was now guarding an illusion of Veil and that Shallan had walked right by him wearing a new face.{{book ref|sa3|78}}
