Raethon

Raethon was a fey being involved in the capture and enslavement of Talvi Snowguard. Without her knowledge, he also secretly captured Talvi's close friend Mellora. He was a humanoid, wraithlike being of an uncertain origin and age.
== The Bargainer ==
Following an undisclosed but very serious crime against the fae, Raethon was entrusted with the fate of both eladrin Talvi and Mellora by the Lady Shandria. While Mellora attempted to assume full blame for the crime, Raethon was fully aware both women were culpable. As a result, he led Talvi to believe she had been executed, instead keeping her hostage at his compound and enslaving Talvi for over a century.
After over a hundred years in her service, Talvi attempted to negotiate her freedom, insisting she would return upon Raethon's request. Seeing this as a voluntary exile, Raethon agreed, and Talvi was dumped unceremoniously on the Material Plane.
== Permanent Exile ==
When she was called, Talvi did not return alone. Upon her return to the Feywild, she brought her companions Kira-Fang, Lily, and Raine. Eager to earn Talvi's freedom for good, they would attempt to negotiate. Instead, Raethon offered Mellora's freedom instead, or in return for one of her party-members. Talvi declined both offers. Ultimately, it would be Lily who would convince him to let Talvi go, citing the fact that evil and death seemed to follow them as they went, and Talvi being a prime target of Saharna may put him in danger. However, Talvi's freedom came at a price: the theft of Ilmater's Amulet, which belonged to Lily.
==Patronhood==
Following Talvi's exile, Raethon became acquainted with Ruby, whose life he offered back to her in return for her service. In order to end her bargain, she agreed to help in the termination of every soldier that had been present during the raid on the Feywild, including Elien Rencrist.
