## Biography

### Early Life

Tharion after taking the River Queen's Daughter's maidenhood, shared vows with the promise to marry her in the future. He is later seen to regret it and felt burdened by that decision.

Tharion and Hunt Athalar later jointly investigated a high profile murder case where one of the victims was Tharion's sister Lesia Ketos. The murderer turned out to be a rouge Panther Shifter who was killed by Tharion as revenge.

### *House of Earth and Blood*

Tharion helps in Hunt and Bryce's search for information regarding any unusual sightings near the House of Many Waters. They suspected that the Kristallos demon might be traveling through the sewer tunnels or dumping the bodies of its victims there. They asked Tharion to warn the River Queen about the demon.

Tharion later sent photographs of one of the Kristallos demon's victim's bodies retrieved from sobek's lair along with his notes on it and analysis reports as conducted by the Blue Court.

Bryce after visiting the Meat Market and hearing from the Viper Queen about the dealing of the drug Synth at the river, sent a message to Tharion asking to meet. Tharion revealed that the Synth was being sold on the river and that he had received intel of Danika Fendyr on an Auxillary boat with a crate Synth a day before her death. However, he was not sure if she was selling it or buying it, or simply confiscating it on behalf of the Aux. He then informs Bryce about that Synth is a highly dangerous magical-synthetic drug. It started as an aid for healing, but someone apparently realized that in super-concentrated doses, it can give humans strength greater than most Vanir.

Tharion later sends a message to Bryce via the Otter Postal Service about a deal of Synth that was about to go down at the river. He took Bryce with him on his water skimmer to the boat where they discovered that Hunt, Viktoria, and Justinian were buying Synth from the Viper Queen to gain enough power to overthrow Micah and the Asteri and free themselves of the halos. However, their plan failed as they found out the Viper Queen had double crossed them and had informed Micah of their plans in exchange for a favor.

When Micah opened the portals to Hel through the city Gates, Tharion had ordered his people to go to the surface and bring as many people below the waters in order to save them from the demons from Hel. Tharion also joined Hunt, Ruhn, Amelie, Fury, and Flynn as they head to Crescent City during the demon attack to save the people and Bryce.

## Personality
