Havar

Also known as Brightlord Havar

  • Minor
  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 78

Havar’s lighteyed bearing and beard mark him as a man of rank, but the sight of him is starkly vulnerable: battered, bloodied, and struggling for breath. His presence has the grim gravity of someone whose authority has been tested in the most brutal way.

Havar appears as the commander of the rear guard, a bearded lighteyed man brought low by an enormous wound to his abdomen. He lies on the ground coughing blood, a brief and harrowing image of the cost of command in battle. The text offers no broader personal history or relationships, but his final appearance is difficult to forget.

Description

Havar is a bearded lighteyed man, his face strained and bloodied as he lies on the ground. An enormous wound marks his abdomen, and his labored, coughing breath makes his battered state unmistakable. His clothing is that of a military commander, though the text gives no precise details of its cut or color. His beard and lighteyed status are his clearest visual identifiers.
