Harka

Harka (real name Elwin) is the incarnation of the First Man and the older Brother of Hallam, the current Veran. After being taken from their family by Quane, the brothers were chosen to become the latest Harka and Veran. They were separated and their close bond was put into jeopardy when Harka believed Veran betrayed him. As per legend, when the ancient god Lokka returns, the First Man reappears as a dead man.

Now awake, he believes Veran to be responsible for his death and seeks revenge. He seeks the destruction of all things surrounding him - he seeks death. To help him with his conquest, he does the very thing that was done to him and takes three blond brothers from a family, choosing one to help him with his plans and getting rid of the others. The brother, Mallin, is then bewitched into following Harka's commands, specifically to obliterate the Druids' only hope through love.

Harka and Veran have their final confrontation in which the brothers challenge each other. They play toss with a sword for who gets to kill the other. When the sword lands in Harka's favour he is close to beheading his brother but is shot in the head with an arrow by Divis, fired from the Golden Bow. As Harka dies he is embraced by his brother and they share a tender moment as they acknowledge their real identities and true bond.

Veran beheads Harka's corpse and uses his head to show his dominance to Harka's followers that quickly submit. Veran later drops the head in The Lake of Tears, which is filled with the skulls of previous Harkas.
