Dah'nan De'Lokvar

A little bit of Dah'nan's backstory:
Long ago, an evil Emperor named Xaveron ruled a dark kingdom. As the leader of the elf army, Dah'nan went to his fortress with elven warriors and mages and fought bravely to free his land from tyranny. Alongside him was his best friend and comrade, Karniel, who was the leader of the human army. The huge battle raged on and on, and sadly Karniel was lost. For a split second Dah'nan was vulnerable and unfortunately the Emperor used his evil powers to put a curse on Dah'nan's body while he wept. The curse was as follows: Half of Dah'nans body was changed into a horrible deformity which stopped him from fighting or moving properly any longer. The curse was supposed to take over his whole body, but before the Emperor could finish, Dah'nan used the last of his strength to vanquish and seal the Emperor into a statue that he buried to the centre of the earth. After the battle, and many years later, Dah'nan can no longer be a fighter in his form, so he retires as a healer and a hero, going from village to village, visiting the poor and cheering them up, singing songs and nursing certain individuals back to health; healing them as if he were trying to heal himself.

How the Character is Involved in the Story

Character's role in the novel: Second main character.

Scene where character first appears: At the very beginning of the story, he narrates and is introduced in the first scene.

Relationships with other characters:

1. Candy: -- When he first meets her he’s extremely confused of this girls’ origin and where she came from, but it’s strangely intrigued, and even moreso when he finds out that she has the same tattoo he does. They become inseperable as they are trying to find out why they both have the same tattoo, how Candy got to the past in the first place, and if there’s anyone who can answer their questions. All the meanwhile, the Evil Emperor is stirring in his Undead Grave…

2. Karniel: -- Best friend and comrade. They were really quite a pair leading the army to victory in most cases of war that would come about, and were a strong tie in the alliance of the humans and elves.

3. Mistius: -- Though Dah’nan doesn’t have anything against Mistius, he blames his father’s death on Dah’nan.

4. Rogana- They were acquainted when Karniel was still alive and continued to be friends even afterward, and even against Mistius’s wishes of becoming friends with him. He visited her often, even when she was unable to speak from the devastating news of her husbands’ death. When Rogana regained ability to speak and act normally again, she became unlike herself and sometimes acts a little too grateful towards Dah’nan…

5. Elder Circle: -- Dah’nan was very respected by them until after the war when they grew weary of him and his appearance and decided it would be better that he didn’t join the upper circle, which crushed Dah’nan’s hopes and dreams of his retirement into advisory. Though Dah’nan isn’t one to hold grudges so he tries to understand and continue searching for his destiny.

7. Giovani: -- Upon meeting him in the future, he decides right away that he very much dislikes him. Very much enemies, wants to punch his face in. :D

8. Kyo and Bynn – He thinks they’re kind of annoying because ever since he rescued them from an evil spirit, they keep trying to find ways to thank him and follow him around, seeing how he “does things” and how he “kicks ass”.

Additional Notes on This Character: Sometimes he visits Karniel’s grave when he’s feeling lost. At his funeral he was the last one standing around his grave, and when it started raining, he fell to his knees and wept while laying over his stone for days, since his promise to protect Karniel failed, it haunted him.
