Haff

Haff is a young deckhand aboard Paragon during the attempt to rescue Vivacia. He is one of those whom Brashen trusted.

A charismatic and likeable man who challenged Althea's right to be second mate. He is a very competent sailor but had disdain for Althea's commands. When a serpent attacks Paragon, Haff tries to prove he isn't afraid and ignores Althea's warning not to attack it. His attack angers the serpent and he is engulfed by a fog of poison from the serpent.

After the attack, Haff fits into the crew quite well, trusting orders and even becoming second mate when Althea becomes first mate because of Lavoy abandoning ship in Divvytown.

Haff is on the small boat heading to Vivacia to negotiate with Kennit for the liveships release. During their trip, Kennit, with the help of Bolt, sends the serpents to destroy Paragon and the boat capsizes. Haff, along with his crewmate Lop, is not saved and not seen from again.
