Biography & Overview
Rhaen is the proprietor of a prominent pleasure house (brothel) in the Capital and a clandestine operative working on behalf of the Church of Aelther. He is the brother of Archbishop Vergas ("The Left Hand").
- The Underground Network: Beneath the façade of running an upscale brothel, Rhaen operates the Church's secretive "favor-for-a-favor" intelligence web. By gathering compromising secrets, rumors, and debts, he ensnares barons, noble lords, and influential figures, steadily turning the political tides against King Charles and the Crown in favor of the Church.
- Brotherly Alliance: Working in close lockstep with his brother Vergas, Rhaen handles the subterranean information flow, extortion, and covert leverage, while Vergas coordinates church diplomacy, holy knights, and high-level political conspiracies.
- Mana Affinity & Combat Style: As documented in the Imperial archives on Mana Decharge Profiles, Rhaen is an innate Balanced Type caster whose energy flows with steady, disciplined stability (
20 → 19 → 21 → 18 → 22). - The Ecra School Paradox: In swordsmanship, Rhaen was trained in and follows House Éclaron's Ecra Style (Lumiere Tradition / Éclaron Style). However, this doctrine has fundamentally never suited him. The Ecra school is engineered entirely around explosive Burst-Type practitioners ("Lightning speed and zero tolerance"), demanding blinding opening speed and instant decisive finishing strikes. Because Rhaen naturally lacks the explosive initial spike of a Burst-Type caster, executing the Ecra katas forces him to violently compress and agitate his internal mana pool, creating an inefficient friction between his stable mana nature and the school's all-or-nothing lethal tempo.
