{{image|Raoden - Living by Hayley Olivia.jpg|side=right|width=200px}}
=== Pre-Reod ===
For the majority of his life, Raoden lived in the city of [[Kae]], just outside of [[Elantris (city)|Elantris]]. When he was younger, Raoden suffered from an infection after breaking his leg and was taken to Elantris to receive treatment. There, he witnessed the allure of the AonDor for the first time as a glowing character in the air caused the pain and wound to vanish. He felt a deep gratitude for the
=== Prince ===
=== Post Shaod ===
==== Arrival to Elantris ====
Ten years after the [[Reod]], Raoden underwent the Shaod transformation into an [[Elantrian]], a transformation that was, at the time, incomplete.{{book ref|Elantris|1}} He was immediately cast into the rotting city of Elantris, as was tradition, while his father claimed that he had died to the [[Coughing shivers]].
==== Restoring Elantris to its Glory ====
=== Married Life ===
Later, Sarene became pregnant with Raoden's child as Seons started to return.{{book ref|thoe}}
== Relationships ==
=== Sarene ===
Raoden first is engaged to [[Sarene]] for political reasons, but he believes he knows her and loves her because of her letters and the talks they had through [[Seon]]. Raoden is thrown into Elantris just before Sarene arrives in [[Arelon]]. He first meets her when she performs her widow’s trial in Elantris, and although he believes she is trying to help those there, he believes she is doing the worst thing possible for them. He later revises his opinion after she finishes her trial and his band’s numbers increase significantly. Raoden later meets Sarene when she is poisoned by [[Hrathen]] and thrown into Elantris. He spends almost all of his time with her while she is there, but when the poison’s effects stop, he tells her to leave Elantris and help [[Kae]], even though he desperately wants more time with her. Although he knows her for only a short time, his love for her is so great that he is willing to risk his life and try to rescue her from [[Dilaf]]. After he travels to [[Teod]] via [[Aon]] Tia, he fights to rescue her, and with the help of the other Elantrians and Hrathen, he is successful. Eventually, Sarene becomes pregnant with his child.
=== Iadon ===
[[Iadon]] is Raoden’s father. Before the [[Shaod]] took him, Raoden often opposes his father in public, and is responsible for leading the group of nobles that are attempting to change Arelon’s government. When Raoden led them, this group was composed of around half the nobles in Iadon’s court, however this shrinks to just five nobles when Sarene begins to take control. After being taken by the Shaod, when Sarene informs him about his father’s suicide, although he had wished for his father’s demise before, he is still pained by his death.{{book ref|Elantris|46}}
=== Galladon ===
Originally from [[Duladel]], [[Galladon]] is Raoden’s friend. They meet first in Elantris, after Raoden escapes from Shaor’s men. Although Raoden first buys Galladon’s loyalty with a piece of dried meat, they quickly become good friends. Galladon, although often pessimistic, is often supportive of Raoden’s plans, even if he must sometimes be the voice of reason. Galladon is the one who rallies the Elantrians to save Raoden from [[Dilaf]] and the other [[Dakhor]] monks in [[Teod]], proving the extent of their friendship.
=== Arelish Nobles ===
*[[Roial]]
Raoden has immense respect for Roial, which leads to Roial being a father figure in his life. When Roial is stabbed by Telrii’s guard, Raoden is desperate to save him, but fails. That night, Raoden forces himself to begin learning the modifiers for Aon Ien so he can save someone else if he needs to.{{book ref|Elantris|53}}
*[[Eondel]]
Eondel teaches Raoden swordplay, which is later instrumental in his fight with Sarene.{{book ref|Elantris|50}}{{book ref|Elantris|52}} Raoden respects Eondel, and believes that he is brave, if foolhardy sometimes, especially in regards to his attack on Telrii. {{book ref|Elantris|56}}
*[[Shuden]]
Raoden considers Shuden a good friend and an honest person. They have been friends for a long time, and when Shuden doesn’t recognize him during Sarene’s Trial, Raoden is upset, but doesn’t blame Shuden.

Lukel is Raoden’s best friend, and has been since they were both children. They used to meet in the secret tunnels of Iadon’s palace and play for hours together. {{book ref|Elantris|13}} After being taken by the Shaod, Raoden laments not being able to know Lukel’s wife or children. In the aftermath of the Dakhor invasion of Arelon, Raoden uses Aon Ien to save Lukel’s life from a sword wound.{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
