Sorhan (SOR-han, rhymes with "4chan," Phoenic: شرهان Sharhān) is a Phoenic^[1] occultist and the second (by seniority) of the High Priests of the Casiric Church.

Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a prophet of Casir, a son of Casir, and an avatar of Casir. King Jassar believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by Mortzopholus. Uma Salysa Aidani of the Hadina famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.

Relationships

Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. Raysh hates him, as do virtually all of Phoena's Vaishans and Mishraists.

Arkhan the Godslayer forged a tenuous pact with Sorhan.

Salysa Aidani, the Uma of the Hadina, is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.

Nico claims to be Sorhan's son. He despises his father. Assuming he is Sorhan's son, it is unknown whether Nico's mother was Sorhan's wife.

Alicia hates Sorhan.

According to the bink Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream-magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro's daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.

Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils Asmodeus, Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, Hasinsa, and Calo; by the jinn lords Marjaid and Azenhar; the god Torm; and the angel Colwyn.

It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan's "new gospel" (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity).

Sorhan's three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.

Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan's most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.

Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.
