== Appearance and Personality ==
Taravangian is elderly,aged; with a wispyclean-shaven, white beardface. He has pale grey eyes and an open, kindly face.{{book ref|wok|5}}[6] He lives with perpetual aches in his body, and has other symptoms of old age although he is relatively fit for his age.
 
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}}
