Avan Yachalin

Northern Knight Avan Yachalin of Chailan was heir apparent to the Cold Throne; his father was the Northern Lord Noril Yachalin. Avan was killed during the Sack of Chailan by Sihlanian armies. One year later, Avan's wife, Ysena Yachalin, was also killed. However, Avan and Ysena's daughter, Imyne, was rescued by Noril and taken to safety in the Riverlinde.

Appearance and Character
Avan had auburn hair and pale eyes, much like those of his father. He was of medium height and of athletic build, with straight brows and long lashes. He was allegedly very handsome and had many affairs in the courts prior to his marriage to Ysena; many women claimed to have once been his lover, and even some say they are the mother of his bastard.

In spite of Avan's positive reputation with women, most political officials considered him unsuitable for the Cold Throne. Although bright, Avan was hedonistic and reluctant to address serious problems in the realm. Many say he governed the affairs of the court while his father governed the affairs of the realm.
