Haldoran La'Saen was an Atavian knight loyal to Dunamis and later to Deucalion. Captured and tortured by the forces of Babel in ancient times, he was rescued and healed by followers loyal to the Righteous Fire in 695 AF.

Mission to the Outer Planes

In 755 AF Haldoran accompanied the Bloodsworn Gods on a mission of purification to the outer planes when a well to the void exploded, cutting the expedition short and catching Haldoran in waves of chaos debris to the horror of Targossian onlookers. Haldoran later appeared to the followers of the Bloodsworn apparently unhurt but unmistakably mad. Everywhere he looked he imagined he saw chaos infection. The knight set about attempting to cleanse residual taint in the most unlikely of areas of the Prime Material Plane, beginning with Cyrene, which he promptly set alight.

Death

Taking advantage of the situation, the Chaos Court of Ashtan lured the maddened knight-arsonist to Ashtan and bound him, forcing him into a marriage pact with Hecate, Mother of Crones. A special ceremony was arranged on the Chaos Plane for the union, with Glaaki presiding. Before vows were spoken between elated crone and dejected atavian Deucalion appeared before the congregated guests. The Chaos Court brushed off concerns about the Fire God — that is, until He set the wedding party afire with righteous fury, maiming several Chaos lords and sending webs of cleansing flame spinning across the blighted sky. Deucalion shared one last look with His broken vassal, His of pity and Haldoran's of relief, before granting him immolation into ashes.

The Wheel of Fortune commemorates Haldoran's struggle with a Haldoran battle figurine.
