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

Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a prophet, son, or avatar of Casir, an avatar of Ahuraiya, a face of Nyarlathotep, and a time-traveling Xoyahque who survived the Naque.

Sorhan is the chief architect of the Red Terror, the multiplanar conflict over the Marnova prophecy. He is the most powerful dream magician in Marillia, possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.

Guises

Among Sorhan's many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and philanderer Lord Greymark, the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest Wallen, and the arcanist Faulkwin.

Relationships

Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the Sanctuary, the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter's leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils Asmodeus, Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; Torm, Raha, and all of Celestia; Azenhar and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords Marjaid and Kazali.

Sorhan is hated by his children Nico and Seena. He has groomed two of his other children, Maz Morin and Jezra Dassari, into supporting him.
