Keryan was the leader of a band of bandits that raided the slave market of [[Taserin]] and succeeded in freeing the majority of slaves. On 7 Ascending Water (769) Keryan married princess [[Nadira al-Zahrah]]. Together they adopted [[Renata]]. While infiltrating the [[Cult of the Illuminated]] Keryan stay in character by mostly being with [[Azizah]]. Due to the social implications of this Keryan will wear a female form during that time, and can be adressed as Keryana. However, this is no longer necessary, as Azizah married Keryan on 773, 1 Descending Air. Keryan married [[Ruya al-Qureshi]], [[Fadia al-Safahr]], [[Raniya al-Bazara]] and [[Shakila al-Toma]] in a week-long feast around 774, Descending Water.
