The son of a prodigious line of dungeoneers, Charen was sent as a yearling to be brought up by Crispin.  He learned the dungeons early; despite his relative youth, he is sure-footed, brave, and competent within the underground labyrinth. 

He is outwardly charismatic, gentle with aspiring dungeoneers, flirtatious with a pretty face, but ultimately self-serving.  His word may sound earnest when he gives it, but means very little; he is a keen study in what others need, and is willing to bet on coins and treasures buying what strength cannot.

His pet toad, Macedon, is a gift from another dungeoneering family.  Charen finds him deeply entertaining, albeit bad at almost everything.
