— Charion Valariant, “Absolutely Doneso” (DF2 1.02)
|
Charion Valariant is a human ranger from Ironguard in the Autumn Lands, and one of the Heroes of Yearth. He was Squire to the elf Champion of Autumn, Saffron Ironbark, at the Solstice Games in Frostopolis.
Charion is “movie star short and movie star handsome”, and very rich.
Before the Solstice Games[]
Charion’s parents are Valeria and General Grip “Ironjaw” Valariant, human rulers of Ironguard. He used his family’s reputation to get out of trouble many times. At the age of 28, under threat of being cut off from his great wealth, Charion’s father forced him to meet Saffron Ironbark, the greatest ranger of Ironguard, and undertake the trial to be her apprentice and represent their nation at the Solstice Games.
In the Ironwood, Charion met the elf Hawthorn, the other participant in the final trial. He tried to concede to Hawthorn, but Saffron refused; Charion’s participation was necessary to maintain good political relations with the humans. Left alone overnight, Charion picked a fight with Hawthorn, escalating it to real danger, but running away as soon as he was even slightly injured.
Season 1[]
Charion attends the Solstice Games in Frostopolis as Saffron's Squire. When Celestia emerges, he spends most of the fight with the possessed guards trying to help Dinner Munchabout stand up on the ice of the arena. He joins the other Squires to confronts Celestia after her rampage, and retreats to Dinner Munchabout’s apartment afterward. When Lexicon the Magnificent arrives, he at first mistakes him for Dinner’s butler. He helps fights off the Celestia worshipping “emo cultists” who come looking for Lexicon, and then travels with the others to the cabin of Lexicon's “scriptwriting teacher”, the mage Nilmeyer.
