Sharezan killed [[Rennold Pharl]], an agent of his, to prevent him from going to the authorities. Afterwards, as Tain, he returned to "investigate" the death and he planted a note of warning which he then brought to Ais.{{book ref|ws|13|review=yes}}. [[Lord General]] [[Raagent]] arranged a meeting with Ais hoping to get out of Sharezan's grasp, but Sharezan heard of the meeting and made a trap. He planted a firebomb in the abandoned building where the meeting was to have taken place, but Ais noticed something was wrong when she heard someone limping away, and she and Kenton escaped unharmed.{{book ref|ws|14|review=yes}}
Presumably as revenge for his attempted betrayal, Sharezan personally executed Raagent in a brutal fashion. He snuck into Raagent's sleeping chambers in the [[Tower (Taldain)|Tower]], used Raagent's [[ShalRim]] bed sheets to tie him up, and then brought him down into the Tower's wine cellar where his cries for help wouldn't be heard. Sharezan propped Raagent up against a wall and lit candles to provide some light in the darkness of the cellar. He then dosed him with [[kamo]], an emotional stimulant, and cut off his eyelids. Since, like all Daysiders, Raagent was afraid of the dark, the kamo combined with the growing darkness from the candles burning out caused Raagent's mind to conjure up all sorts of horrors. Since he couldn't close his eyes, he was forced to endure these nightmares until he died from the fright.{{book ref|

|Orphans make such heart-wrenching victims, so innocent yet no one to mourn them. Or would you prioritize saving someone with a more personal connection?
