== Personality ==
 
Raoden has an optimistic attitude and a strong desire to improve the lives of the people around him. He is well-educated and skilled in debate and public speaking. He has a keen ability to determine 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 skillful hand and is able to proficiently learn and draw Aons. This in turn means that he is quite adept with [[AonDor]].
 
== History ==
=== Pre-Shaod ===
 
For the majority of his life, Raoden lived in the city of [[Kae]], just outside of [[Elantris]]. 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 frequently disagree with his father, King [[Iadon]], on a variety of political points. Raoden even obtained fencing lessons from Count [[Eondel]] to spite his father.{{book ref|Elantris|52}} His differing opinions with an almost unanimously disliked king promoted a large following with the young prince. {{book ref|Elantris|8}} He also had a close friendship with [[Lukel]]. When he was younger, Raoden suffered from an infected wound on 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. Before succumbing to the [[Shaod]], he was engaged to the [[Teoish]] princess, [[Sarene]].
