Tarogon I of Haleglar

Tarogon was the thirty-fourth king of Haleglar. He ascended to the throne in 1876 but had prior experience as he ruled the nation in his father's stead for eight months in 1850 while Oriathon was away leading a war. Tarogon had a huge reputation to live up to and while his reign was nowhere near as eventful as his father's, he made a huge effort to keep Haleglar strong and managed to hold off war with the Costaratan Empire which he knew would ruin Haleglar. While alienating the western countries of Enamarith hurt Haleglar's future, Tarogon did manage to prevent war.

Tarogon was close with his father but not so much with his many siblings. The two oldest, Elizabeth and Maximian, both disliked him and by 1851 Tarogon was not speaking with either of them.

He was killed by a fanatic during a trip to Elizabethston (near Aerian) to visit his brother Maximian's grave.

Personality and Traits
Taking on some royal duties from as soon as he turned sixteen, Tarogon quickly became very responsible, and an able ruler at a young age. He took his role very seriously, and did not hesitate to take on work if it would help his father or, on a greater scale, his nation. Tarogon would even fight at the front of an army if he felt it was his duty to do so.

As a youth, he often held his high status over his younger siblings, but that did not last far into adulthood and he was amicable with all who remained in the family. Even such outcasts as Maximian and Milton he did not display hostility towards, and he even managed to remain civil when he first encountered Elizabeth in Aberdeen. He still was very aware of his status, and could often come across as snobbish or prideful to some, especially those with any degree of resentment against the royal house. He forged a friendship of sorts with royal guard Imerond Freeor, despite the considerable difference in social status,

Tarogon was also loyal to his family and was not so aloof to them as Oriathon was. A notable example of this was his mother Mistelle, whom Tarogon still made time for even during the war and when she was being shunned by Oriathon. He also chose to keep Maximian's and Milton's involvement with Elizabeth a secret from his father, so that ill consequences would not fall upon his brothers.
