Character History
Ghim's history is only hinted upon every now and again in the story, though some facts are apparent from the beginning. He is devoted to Neese, the high priestess of Marfa, the goddess of all creation and acts as a father figure for Leylia, Neese's adopted daughter, and a priestess of Marfa herself.
Coming to the same village that Parn and Slayn live in, Ghim comes to ask his longtime friend Slayn for aid, to which Slayn at first turns him down.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“Consider the difference between looking and staring. A look is voluntary; it is also mobile, rising and falling in intensity as its foci of interest are taken up and then exhausted. A stare has, essentially, the character of a compulsion; it is steady, unmodulated, “fixed.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
