Karon
Biography
The concealed power of Blue Water City
Karon was an older resident wizard in Blue Water City who presented himself as a Second-level apprentice while concealing durability and defensive strength far beyond that modest position. When Jassim attacked with black Soul Blades, Karon repeatedly reformed after being cut and raised layers of shields to resist Judgment. The defense ultimately failed: Jassim killed him and left blackened remains. Karon's hidden preparation prolonged the fight but could neither preserve his secret nor overcome the Tribunal technique aimed at him. (Chapters 450–455)
