'''Raoden''' was the only son of King [[Iadon]] and the crown prince of [[Arelon]]. Presently, King of Arelon.

 

For the majority of his life, he lived in the city of [[Kae]], just outside of [[Elantris]]. Ten years after the [[Shaod]], he underwent the transformation into an [[Elantrian]], a transformation that was, at the time, incomplete. As an Elantrian, he brought peace and civilization to the people living in Elantris, who had devolved into a primitive, bestial society. '''Raoden''' was the first [[Elantrian]] after the [[Shaod]] to successfully harness the power of AonDor. He eventually discovered the key to restoring Elantris, and succeeded in repelling the efforts of [[Wyrn]] in conquering both [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]].

 

Raoden has an optimistic attitude. He is also well educated and skilful in debating and public speaking. He has a keen ability to see 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 King. 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. He also had a close friendship with [[Lukel]]. His differing opinions with an almost unanimously disliked King promoted a large following with the young prince.
