Fraa Orhan

Fraa Orhan is seen serving as the designated servitor to Zh’vaern at the Plurality of Worlds messal hosted in Avrachon’s Dowment. In the kitchen, during preparations led in part by Grandsuur Moyra, he is addressed directly as “Fraa Orhan.”

Appearance and Traits

  • Wears his bolt with the head fully covered, making his expression difficult to read; an observer infers from voice and manner that he is male.
  • Uses a brief, traditional hand sign tagged by onlookers as a Deolater gesture.
  • Quiet and unobtrusive in service; at one point he stands silently in the kitchen, easy to overlook when his face is hidden by the bolt.

Roles and Actions

  • Servitor duties: Attends to Zh’vaern’s table needs and is noted among the crew working the kitchen service during the messal.
  • Philosophical exchange: When asked whether people on the world nicknamed “Pangee” worship God—and whether that God would be the same as the Matarrhites’—he answers that it must be so, accompanying the reply with the Deolater hand sign.
  • During a tense exchange at the messal, remains at the back of the kitchen and does not join the debate, continuing his duties quietly.
  • Arrival and presence: Observed approaching Avrachon’s Dowment alongside Zh’vaern and entering after a brief, formal greeting on the veranda, indicating he remains in attendance.

Relationships and Affiliations

  • Serves Zh’vaern, a delegate commonly grouped with the cloaked order many call “Matarrhites.”
  • Engages respectfully with Grandsuur Moyra during her cross‑questioning of the servitors.
  • Present alongside other servitors, including Fraa Erasmas, during the same series of kitchen and Lucub preparations.
  • Some avout speculate that the cloaked delegates may not, in fact, be Matarrhites; Orhan’s exact order is not explicitly named in the text.

Current Status

Present on the Convox grounds and active at Avrachon’s Dowment, accompanying Zh’vaern into the house and maintaining servitor duties. No further personal details have been disclosed.
