Lareth is a wood-elf adolescent who trails after Aelric Harren Vale. Too young to truly understand the consequences of the cruelty he enables, he is drawn to the thrill of status-by-proxy—until real danger shatters the illusion.
Lareth tries to look bold in Aelric’s shadow, but his confidence is brittle. When the situation turns from intimidation to genuine threat, his body language gives him away—hesitation, wide eyes, the instinct to step back rather than forward.
Personality
Impressionable: easily influenced by whoever seems powerful.
Performative: plays at cruelty to belong, rather than from conviction.
Fearful under pressure: folds when confronted with real consequences.
Role in the Story
Lareth is present during Aelric’s alley confrontation with Suraia and Vasha. He lingers at Aelric’s side as part of the intimidation—until the dire wolf's intervention turns the encounter into something far more dangerous than posturing.
