During the [[Siege of Kholinar]], Lhan succumbed to [[Ashertmarn]] and became known as Kharat. He introduced [[Shallan]] to the revel, claiming that it could be a disorienting experience the first time. 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, his eyes glazing over. Insisting that he was to keep watch on Shallan, he 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. This enticed 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}}
