Vhar

A character from the Tapestry of Dark Souls novel, Vhar was an outlander peddler of silver knives traveling through his homeland of Morova to Vezprem with his wife Leith. However, they became lost when the Mists brought them to Markovia, near the near the monastery of the Guardians of the Tapestry of Dark Souls. Following Leith inside, Vhar met the monastics that resided there. Though they were given shelter, Vhar roused his wife early and bade both of them to flee the monastery for their lives. In reality, he had become ensnared by the corrupting qualities of the Tapestry. He had stolen it, concealed the treachery from his wife, and even stabbed a monk to death on his way out.

After they fled to Linde, Vhar consumed too many drinks and spilled the beans about his transgression to the other people in the Nocturne inn. Leith discovered the Tapestry, which almost convinced her to murder her husband to escape him and keep it. However, she resisted the compulsion enough merely to try to leave with it. However, the Tapestry captured Vhar and imprisoned him inside it with the other transgressors, trapping Vhar in a horrible state neither truly alive nor dead. This act horrified Leith and disillusioned her from the Tapestry. Soon thereafter she returned it to the Guardians. Many years later, in 735 BC, the Tapestry was destroyed. Vhar, along with the other beings imprisoned inside of the Tapestry, were freed but slain in the blasts that tore apart the Tapestry.

Leith characterized Vhar as her "husband, adversary, friend." According to her, he was cruel and greedy, but the Tapestry heightened the dark desire within him, bringing him to steal it, just it had nearly turned her into a murderer through the frustration she had held against Vhar through the years.
