In his retirement years, Ratha Rann desperately tried to prove to everyone and himself that he was not yet old, showing it by courting every attractive female he met. One of his conquests was a woman who was 22 years younger than the retired adventurer, but when they planned to move in together, the age difference ended up being a public scandal and caused a breakup, leaving the man single ever since.
