Sarabian was Emperor of the Tamul Empire. While most of Sarabian's his government believed him to be a complete incompetent, but he was actually almost frightfully intelligent, and was able to speak Tamul, Elenic, Styric, and Tegan, among other languages. Eventually his wife Chacole instigates a plot against him, but Elysoun, Liatris, and Gahennas, along with Sarabian himself, defeat the assassins she sends.
