Geran I (3996-4066) was the youngest grandson of Gorek, the King of Riva during the late 40th century, and the only survivor of the massacre that wiped out the Rivan Line in 4002. He was rescued by Polgara, who raised him in seclusion at her house at Lake Erat. At sixteen, he and Polgara travelled to Muros in Sendaria, where he became apprenticed to the cattle buyer Hattan. In 4012, he married Hattan's daughter Eldara; in 4013, she gave him a son, Davon.
