Halon was the leader of the Faithful Eight when they rejected Tor's suggestion to overthrow Sol. He appears a tall, strikingly handsome man with glossy black hair and penetrating grey eyes. Priests of Halon build their temples where men congregate, and are often found as advisors and confidants of great leaders. It is said that Halon's touch upon a priest makes him a natural commander of men.

Temples to Halon must be within a city. Attempts to consecrate temples elsewhere will fail.
