Tsev Haavu was encountered by Prince Ashan’Raeth Vareth’s expedition in Thazvaar. A young oligarch of the Haavu family from Jeyrha, Tsev traveled with thirteen silent women—two of them pilots, the others in roles not made public. He passed freely from city to city, and across continents, with no clearance required. Everywhere he landed, doors opened without question: “not because of status, not because of threat, but because he was expected.”

Tsev’s family is described as “old-line oligarchs from Jeyrha”—not public or theatrical, but known within the inner workings of the Empire. They did not hold office but held access and “quiet stakes in ancient contracts.” His movements and immunity reflected this inherited position.

Tsev attended every major festival in Thazvaar, traveling between provinces and events. He was known for his energy and substance use—“liquids and eye vapors”—which did not dull his faculties but seemed to keep him fully engaged and awake. He possessed accurate air charts, small arms, and enough resources to be constantly on the move. During a pirate attack on the expedition, he and his companions responded instantly and efficiently, suggesting practiced preparation.

He ultimately assisted Prince Raeth’s group by flying them inland, warning: “My mother says Jeyrhari disappear here because we come soft. No weapons. No edge. We are not raised for this.” When pressed for his identity, he answered: “I didn’t lie. I said capital. I am from Reykhaal”—confirming his Jeyrhan roots.
