Taravangian is
He is popular among many for providing free access to city hospitals funded by an entrance fee to the Palanaeum.[4]He is known to visit the hospitals on a weekly basis.[5]
He was said to be a kindly if somewhat simple man. Perfect to rule a small city-state with the help of a council {{book ref|sa3|12}}. All his life he has been quiet and humble, because of this some people considered him to be slow witted {{book ref|sa3|16}}, however people who knew him better know he had a keen intelligence until his “illness” 5 years before the Battle of Thaylen Field. {{book ref|sa3|21}}
The “illness” referred above was really a consequence of a visit to the Nightwatcher who granted him great intelligence and great compassion, but cursed him to never have them at the same time. As a result, he wakes up every morning with a fluctuation of both.
These fluctuations will cause him to spend some days crying and having compassion for everyone around him, but unable to have intelligent conversations {{book ref|sa3|107}} and other days, he would be brilliant but would easily talk of killing singing children {{book ref|sa3|i|5}}.
Taravangian is a pragmatic man who considers his duty as taking the responsibility of doing whatever it takes to have a “better world”. He has two quotes that show this: “Someone must stain their souls so others may live. Society offers us up to trudge through dirty waters so others may be clean” {{book ref|sa3|86}}. The other is when he is asked on what he would do if there are 4 men and you are sure 3 are guilty but not sure who is the innocent he replies “To prevent murder to happen again … I must hang them and weep” {{book ref|sa3|28}}
He doesn’t believe in religion. He considers religion as something that fills gaps and brings a sense of comfort which prevents understanding. This is opposed to his trust in the diagram, as this is the result of his raw intelligence. {{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
