Wars of Light and Shadow/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Guile Hero]]: Arithon seems to love pulling off [[Batman Gambit|Batman Gambits]] and the occasional [[Xanatos Roulette]]. Most notable are his plans ''counting on'' Dakar's attempts to sabotage them in ''Ships of Merior,'' and in ''Traitor's Knot,'' both his original plot to discredit Lysaer's campaign by harmlessly humiliating the sunwheel priests and, later, his method of infiltrating the Kralovir by setting up a complex chain of events that could have been toppled at any moment by the slightest mishap. Not to mention {{spoiler|damaging the Great Waystone}} by [[Crowning Moment of Funny|turning Prime Selidie's tracking sigil for iyats against her]], knowing she wouldn't be able to resist spying on him again.

* [[Heroic Bastard]]: A strange case here. Both his parents were royals - they just happened not to be married to each other at the time he was conceived. Also, since he is the last surviving s'Ffalenn, he is inheritor by default.

* [[Last of His Kind]]: Arithon is the last scion of the s'Ffalenn bloodline.

* [[Magic Music]]: He's pulled some truly amazing stunts with his lyranthe and, in some cases, just his voice or ''mind'' alone.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Lysaer has a few moments shortly after his exorcism to show how his character has changed. In one case, he literally kicks a dog that had snapped at his heels, without even a thought regarding how out of character it would usually be for him. Earlier that day he had smashed Arithon's lyranthe in a fit of rage.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Lysaer, whose gifted geas of justice was twisted and corrupted by the Mistwraith.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: It is not clear if Lysaer's path is morally superior to Arithon's...

* [[Prince Charming]]: ... but he is charismatic and beloved by his subjects.
