Implosive, impenitently irresponsible and more than just a touch fickle, those of generous mien might refer to Lavan as a 'free spirit'; as uncertain and unrestrained as the sea he so adores. He is difficult to hold a grudge to however, for his charming smile, amiable nature and resolute optimism make him pleasant and, for the most part, uncomplicated company. An avid adventurer, thrill-seeker and hopeless romantic, there are few other of life's indulgences Lavan finds more blood tingling than to be immersed in the throws of a passionate new love; the delight for which, the long history of heartbreak he leaves in his wake would imply, he seeks anew every time the Begyemont makes port.
Lavan was born in Apora, during the fall of 491 of the New Age, the second child and only son of four Enkhtuya children, and the apple of his father’s eye. It was determined upon his rather expeditious delivery, screaming his arrival unto the world with all the tempestuousness and vigour he would carry with him into adulthood, that Lavan should be raised his father’s protégé; to one day take up the mantle as head of the Enkhtuya family and sole proprietor of their humble empire. He would surely be magnificent!
But as the years progressed his father’s high expectations fell gradually to ruin, for though Lavan accomplished well enough his scholarly education, his father's best efforts to teach him the intricacies of trade and commerce - to understand legal diction, negotiate trade agreements, anticipate good investment opportunities and value every valyut earned - and their importance in securing the family’s fortune for the future were met with very little interest. The harder his father pushed the less concerned Lavan seemed; the more frustrated, the less obedient. By the time Lavan was ten and four years of age he and his father had little rapport to speak of. And not long after he’d turned ten and six, Lavan Enkhtuya disappeared from his family's estate without a trace.
He sent a letter three years later, explaining he’d stowed away aboard the merchantman ‘Mavara’ and gone to sea. Upon receiving it his father sat down heavily atop the nearest chair; relived, elated and furious all at once to learn that his estranged son was not stolen, lost nor dead, but alive and well and contentedly living the supplicant life of a common sailor, and summoned a footman to fetch him a glass - nay, a bottle! - of something strong. His mother, in turn, promptly fainted.
Lavan is currently employed as a crewman aboard the seafaring freighter 'The Begyemont'.

A feverous, far too short-lived flame once met in Kestrana. Lavan recalls their time together fondly.
Vaughan Zahkar ◐
A strange little man in Nikita's employ. Lavan is not quite sure what to make of him, but he is almost certainly unhinged.
