'''Taan''' was a sculptor from [[Arelon]] on [[Sel]], also known as '''Aanden''' after being taken by the [[Shaod]]. Taan ruled one-third of the [[Elantrian]] inhabitants prior to [[Raoden]] being sent there.
 
Taan was a short man "with a sizeable paunch."{{ref|b|e|c|10}} While living in [[Arelon]], Taan made a name for himself as one of [[Kae]]'s finest sculptors.{{ref|b|e|c|10}} He weathered the political turmoil in Arelon immediately following the [[Reod]] and lived for several years in [[Iadon]]'s fledgling kingdom. Taan was taken by the Shaod approximately a year before the [[Healing]] by [[Raoden]].
 
It was after being cast into [[Elantris]] (as was custom) that Taan displayed his brilliance outside of sculpting. He assumed the name '''Aanden''', donned a long, drooping fake mustache{{ref|b|e|c|10}} and created a new history for himself. Aanden claimed to have been a baron before taken by the Shaod.{{ref|b|e|c|4}} He leveraged this reputation as a baron to declare himself "Baron of Elantris."{{ref|b|e|c|10}} Unable to establish a base in Elantris' palace - that section being held by [[Karata]]'s gang - Aanden began holding "court" in Elantris' library.{{ref|b|e|c|4}}
