Full name Class Nationality First appearanceMagic's Pawn Father Leren Benevy was the priest of Astera at Forst Reach manor, under Lord Withen Ashkevron. Leren replaced old Father Osen in the post. He was an extreme homophobe, who disliked Vanyel from the beginning, and worked to keep Withen at odds with his eldest son. He was the force behind the idea to send Vanyel to Haven, though the exile didn't work out quite as he had foreseen.
