=Motivation\Intimacies=
The Shadowland of Marama's Fell is a blot upon Creation and must be eliminated<br>
<strike>Previous Motivation</strike><br>

'''Intimacies, Positive:'''
* ''City of Whitewall (Loyalty)'' - A life spent as first a merchant apprentice and then a member of the Lotus Mind Academy leaves an impression of loyalty towards the city of Whitewall and its people.
* ''Nation that Whitewall will Become (Desire)'' - Visions of what Ondar Shambal once was and what Whitewall could become constantly stay with Harim.
* ''Lance (Trusted Comrade)'' - Lance is a worthy protector of Whitewall, and has proven himself repeatedly to be a man of virtue (aside from his Exaltation).
* ''Saffron (Uneasy Comrade)'' - Saffron is less well-known to Harim, and suffers a little from uneasiness on his part towards the Dragonblooded, whom are often synonomous with "The Realm".
'''Intimacies, Negative:'''
* ''Raksha (Intense Distrust)'' - Like any native of Whitewall, Harim has an intense dislike and distrust of the Fair Folk.
* ''Ghosts (Ruthless Pity)'' - Theirs is a sad existance, but they must be made to move on to Lethe and a new life.
* ''Marama's Fell (Destruction)'' - While ghosts are viewed with pity, the blot upon the road that Righteous Guide made will be removed by any means necessary.
* ''Corrupt Officials (Contempt)'' - Echoes of Righteous Guide's fury at the corruption of the city he built echoes even today in Harim's mind.

=Anima=
* Effects
** (1 mote) Burn a dead body, sending the soul to Lethe and preventing the body from becoming a zombie or hungry ghost.
** (10 motes) glow with holy fire, 50 yard radius, gain +5L/+5B soak against creatures of darkness, add 5 to minimum damage against creatures of darkness.
** (At banner-level) As per the 10-mote power
* A golden bonfire with dark blue and brighter golden letters rise from the ground around Harim, spelling out prayers and oaths to the Unconquered Sun.  As his anima banner reaches the totemic level, softly susurrating voices chant the prayers in harmony as they swirl around Harim's body, creating a triumphant hymn to all that is virtuous.

=Backgrounds=
* Resources 3
** Having turned over the family fortune to a distant nephew, Harim nevertheless has accumulated a significant nest-egg.  Including the stipend he draws from the city, he is able to make modest purchases when necessary.
* Followers 3
** Harim has around 100 followers/students at any given time.  He trains them in word and deed, and they act as his agents throughout Whitewall.  Some work on restoration projects, others at the Academy teaching and researching, and yet others act as public mediators.
* Influence 3
** Harim is a very notable figure in Whitewall, having very significant sway on the public heart, and he is known even beyond the walls as the subject of rumors.
* Allies 1
** Syric, an independent Kri, has been a close ally ever since being found at the edge of agonizing destruction by Harim.  At first supported him personally, Harim later allowed him attunement to Whitewall's central manse.  A loyal, if new, citizen of Whitewall, the earth elemental spirit cheerfully works in Undertown, manipulating and repairing the passages and soaking in the hot baths.  Having been trained in the fine details of earthwork, he also makes and sells exquisite statuary and other stone goods to merchants.  Free from personal worries about dissolution, he occasionally visits the Academy to learn more about how his kind might be freed from their doom.

'''Limit Break'''<br>
Contempt of the Virtuous (Temperance) - Harim's rage and frustration at the corruption and decadence around him overflow and transform into a cold rage, towering in its fury and inconsiderate of circumstances.  He will bring others to the path of righteousness by whatever means, even if it requires physical chastisement.

=History=
* Born into a small but successful merchant family, Harim's path was never quite clear to him.  As a boy, he was taught how to persuade and bargain, but his older cousin would be the next merchant head, not he.  He showed great talent with spear and sword in the militia, but declined to pursue a career in the Guardians.  Time spent in both the College of Architecture led to a fascination with geomancy, and from there to two years spent in the Lotus Mind College of Thaumaturgical Sciences.  Here he was, if not happy, at least content for the time being.
* And then, crisis hit his family.  Never large, his family had over his short life shrunk to just himself, his cousin and his cousin's wife and almost-grown child.  Now it shrunk even further, with his cousin dead from a bad fall - and leaving a child in charge of the family fortune.  Harim left the College to manage the business for the few short years until his nephew would be old enough and skilled enough to take on the job.
* (trip to Exaltation)
* (setting the house in order)
* (service to Whitewall and the Syndics)

=Personality=
*Give at least one short paragraph
=Goals=
=Family, Friends and Allies =
'''Menso (Nephew)''' - Menso, the son of Harim's cousin, is the current merchant of the family after the Solar (with relief) turned over the responsibility to him.  He is quite young, but nigh-unflappable and unconcerned about little but the trading of spices and precious woods that is the centerpiece of the family trade.  Not entirely sure what to make of his uncle's transformation, he puts it aside to focus on business.  With the family responsibilities in good hands, Harim interacts very seldom with his closest living relative; his concerns are far greater now.
