General
Torean of House Andiama is a High Lord of Tear. He is plain-faced with large ears, a knobby potato-nose, thin eyebrows and a white-streaked dark beard in the fashion of a Tairen noble (TSR, Ch. 3). His eldest son is Estean (TFoH, Ch. 30).
Although he already is the wealthiest man in Tear, his interests rotate around increasing his amount of gold (TPoD, Ch. 21). He also leaves the impression of being a drunkard, because he likes to have one over the others (LoC, Ch. 4; TPoD, Ch. 22).
