'''Raoden''' is the only son of kingKing [[Iadon]] and the king of [[Arelon]].{{book ref|Elantris|1}}{{book ref|Elantris|56}}
 
For the majority of his life, he lived in the city of [[Kae]], just outside of [[Elantris]]. Ten years after the [[Reod]], he undergoes the [[Shaod]] transformation into an [[Elantrian]], a transformation that is, at the time, incomplete.{{book ref|Elantris|1}} As an Elantrian, he works to bring peace and civilization to the people living in Elantris, who had devolved into a primitive, bestial society.{{book ref|Elantris|16}}{{book ref|Elantris|41}} Raoden is the first [[Elantrian]] after the [[Shaod]] to successfully harness the power of AonDor.{{book ref|Elantris|49}} He eventually discovers the key to restoring Elantris, and succeeds in repelling the efforts of [[Wyrn]] in conquering both [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]].{{book ref|Elantris|61}}{{book ref|Elantris|62}}
 
Raoden has an optimistic attitude. He is also well educated and skillful in debating and public speaking. He has a keen ability to seedetermine how any one person can be useful in promoting the benefit of the whole. In Elantris he clearly shows his leadership abilities. He has a skilful hand and is able to proficiently draw Aons. This in turn means that he is quite adept with AonDor.
 
He had a rather stringent upbringing, being taught a variety of skills that were meant to tailor him into a successful Kingking. However as he got older and more confident he was known to disagree with his father, King [[Iadon]] on certain political points. Raoden even obtained fencing lessons from Count [[Eondel]] to spite his father.{{book ref|Elantris|52}} He also had a close friendship with [[Lukel]]. His differing opinions with an almost unanimously disliked Kingking promoted a large following with the young prince. {{book ref|Elantris|8}}
