Adjunct Tavore Paran

Tavore Paran of House Paran, Unta

Age:Thirtyish?

Appearance: Tall, somewhat broad in the hips, her breasts slightly oversized for her frame. Her clothes were well made and virtually colourless. A match to her eyes, to the streaks of grey in her reddish, short-cropped hair.

'The otataral sword of her office was scabarded at her belt. (HoC UK mmpb p.278)

Quick Ben on Tavore's plan

"She thinks she can cheat them.  Did you know, she was the pre-eminent scholar of the lives of Kellanved, Dancer and Dassem?  You didn't, did you?  Before she was made Adjunct.  Even before she inherited command of House Paran.  A student of war – imperial war.  The Conquests – not just tactics on the field, but the motivations of the Emperor and his mad cohorts.  The lives of them all.  Crust, Toc the Elder, Urko, Ameron, Admiral Nok, Surly, even Tayschrenn – why do you think she keeps Banaschar around?  That drunk fool is her potential emissary should Tayschrenn finally decide to do something."

But Bottle was clearly struck on Quick Ben's first revelation.  "Cheat them?  Cheat the Lords of Shadow?  Cheat them of what?"

Quick Ben's bared teeth glimmered like gold in the flickering candlelight.  "I dare not say."  (DoD)
