Appearance
Hakon is casually menacing without being imposing. He towers over many of Atharen’s residents, so tends to slump forward when talking to people, unintentionally creating an impression that he’s looming over them. He has a strong, angular face and an athletic build, but he's not overly muscular. He has mid-length brown hair and dark brown eyes. He tends to wear structured clothing that is a bit loose, lending an overall impression of ethereal formlessness, or that he can't dress himself very well.
Personality
Hakon is a serious, doleful, quiet man. He is purposeful in his speech and his movements, especially when he is setting about a task assigned by his handlers in the Guild, but even when off-duty, he has a tendency toward melancholic contemplation. Unlike some of the Guild Mages in Radenor, he wholeheartedly supports the Guild system, seeing it as the only thing that keeps the general populace of the four kingdoms safe from the cruel ravages of magic. This hard line approach wins him few friends in his Guild, as his handlers don’t wish to associate with the Guild Mages, and the Mages don’t like hanging around someone who sees them as dangerous, subhuman filth.
He seeks solace and comfort in the Path, reasoning that the Gods have been through worse than a quiet, lonely life. His understanding of his religion is based on the current modern Radenorian interpretation. He is currently unaware that there is an older version of the Path still used by his distant kin who remain behind in Northradica. He regularly prays to the Living Gods for guidance, hoping that he will be blessed by one of them one day, but he does not expect to ever receive anything in return for his devotion. He knows it's as much to ease the aches of his heart as it is out of genuine faith.
He has not been shown many kindnesses in his life, so small things can really affect him. By that same token, he has a long memory for slights, even unintentional ones.
He is quite socially awkward in situations where the rules of engagement are not abundantly clear. He has never had the opportunity to develop strong friendships, and has never been in a relationship.
