Kal Bren Iri Harbyron

Harbyron Greygrove appeared in Brink during E1 to assist with the planting of a Cintainn family tree. Despite the fact that he is crippled and uses a cane to walk, he is likely an extremely powerful ritualist as he has demonstrated spells beyond the capability of any within Brink. His prowess has been put to use both in mentoring Mirna Wren and in studying the Vir.

While planting the family tree that now holds Iri Kara  's spirit, Harbyron was the first to sense the corruption within the land that the Cintainn would need to overcome. He then assisted in summoning the spirit of Iri Kara and later in contacting her in the After. He also aided Mirna in attempting to contact the entity within the Mysterious Pendant, which proved unproductive. Some time later he approached Fytheias Faen to organize a hunt to capture one of the Vir "alive" for study. A detailed account of the subsequent examination can be found in Fytheias' Personal Logs.

In Aukana's original timeline, Greygrove was attacked by Yehrubi during the Colossus War. During the attack Harbyron was pinned under a tree felled by a mangonel shell and, trapped there, was forced to watch as the village was burned to the ground around him. At Lord Zephyr's political summit, the timeline was changed by Fytheias, Mirna, Gwanwyn Anwylyd, Sirrka Silverpine, Kal Tyriel, and Doctor Compeer. In Aukana's current timeline, the tree was lifted off of Harbyron and he was urged to evacuate Greygrove.

Politics
Harbyron frequently and vocally opposed former Kal Bren Iri Katrin Lorne's decision to marry Xaya Parisa Gul, more so since the ceremony was conducted in relative secret without the consent or foreknowledge of the Kal Bren. The relationship between Harbyron and Katrin remained strained during the latter's tenure as Kal Bren Iri, however they came to a level of understanding during Lord Zephyr's political summit.

As an Iri, Harbyron agreed to run in the election to replace Katrin as Kal Bren Iri. His main opponent was Dagurr Grimsonn, who was alleged by Katrin to have avoided sending his sons to war and to have allowed his home tree to wither. Katrin has additionally alleged that Dagurr's clout comes mainly from mutual profiteering with high ranking connections and that he supports an expansionist agenda especially in regards to the Zamen Delta. Where Harbyron is aware of the current Vir threat and is campaigning on a platform of peaceful coexistence with the Hegemony's neighbors, his bid was supported by Cintainn local to Brink.

In the early Spring of 742, Harbyron was elected Kal Bren Iri of the Hegemony and has already begun lending support to the effort to combat the Vir. His first acts have been to gather what support he can for a coalition task force against the Vir and to declassify information on a Cintainn organization known as the Arborwatch.
