Harakan was a Mallorean Grolim and a Chandim. He was transformed into a hound by Torak to guard Cthol Mishrak, and was later transformed back into a man by Urvon. Beldin describes Harakan as a fawning dog at Urvon's feet. Harakan was sent to murder the Rivan line. He attempted to have Ce'Nedra killed but that lead to the death of Arell. Another attempt on the life of Prince Geran resulted in the murder of Brand. Under the identity of Ulfgar he took control of the Bear-Cult to put political and religious pressure on Belgarion to divorce Ce'Nedra.
