5 Facts About Revasan Lavellan
tagged by @thevikingwoman. Thank you!!
This is for Revasan as INQUISITOR.
1. Revasan’s parents do not live in Ansburg on the Lavellan farm. His father is Deshanna’s younger brother, and did a great deal to help Deshanna build the foundation for the Lavellan fortune; however, his mother has a respiratory illness that causes her to fall ill easily in cold weather. So once the Lavellan distillery was up and running, his parents bought a cottage in Antiva City for the year-round warm weather. They come home to the Lavellan farm in the summers to visit.
2. Upon meeting Flemeth, Revasan can’t stop laughing. He is so amused that the goddess Mythal would be in any way alive inside a human woman, that it brings him to literal tears. He laughs so hard at this development, that it even gets Morrigan to laugh. He and Morrigan have a close friendship after this.
3. Revasan is a sheltering father. I know he seems like a cool dad, but despite his charming disposition, he frustrates his daughter Sene constantly with his meddling compulsions to control her life. He and his wife Rasha lost an infant child to cold weather when Sene was only two, and since then, he has developed an inability to trust the world around him with the people he loves. Because of this, he has often overtly and covertly tried to keep Sene from leaving his immediate supervision, and also from developing relationships that he cannot closely monitor. They have an incredibly strained relationship.
4. On a related note: Revasan is extremely fond of Sera. He is intrigued by her history and sympathizes with her insecurities. During the Inquisition, he comes to love her like a daughter, and in doing so, worries about her like one, too. He often counsels her not to take risks on the battlefield and gets pissed off if she charges the line without his permission. This angers Sera a little, but it also sort of endears him to her, even as she flouts his orders. She never really had a father, and so she will sometimes defend his intentions to Sene, gently of course, when Sene gets pissed off about his behavior. Revasan has a CHIVALRY PROBLEM. He is made aware of this during his time in the Inquisition.
5. Another related note: Revasan’s chivalry is not limited to daughters and daughter figures. He feels a strong responsibility to refugees, slaves, and anyone harmed by politics, war, and noble greed. He spends a lot of time and Inquisition resources helping the civil war refugees in the Hinterlands. He hunts their food himself, and at one point, when he can no longer spare the time, he assigns his daughter Sene to train their hunters so that they might become more self-sufficient. He is also EXTREMELY ANGRY with Mistress Poulin, the leader of Sahrnia, for selling her people to the fate of red lyrium. Once she is apprehended, he executes her himself and then does not leave his quarters or speak to anyone but his wife for twenty-six straight hours.
