Avris

Avris is one of Maia Drazhar's edocharei.

Appearance
He is pale-skinned.

Personality
Avris seems honest and supportive. Sometimes he argues with his fellow edocharei about jewelry choices for Maia. Avris is quieter than Nemer and not inclined to chatter during his duties.

Life
Echelo Esaran assigned Avris to Maia, along with Esha and Nemer. Avris helped prepare Maia for sleep and the day, and helped handle wardrobe changes. When Maia wished to visit his mother's tomb, Csevet Aisava called in the edocharei to consult, and although Avris seemed to disprove of effusive support, he saw no impropriety in the visit.

Maia's edocharei insisted that Maia eat some soup before sleeping after his coronation, and given Maia only has three of them, it's likely that Avris was in this group.

Avris later threaded the nesecho Maia received from Vorzhis Gormened through a fine gold chain that Maia could secure indiscreetly on his person, which Maia treasured. Maia thanked him.

Avris later noted that “no emperor had accepted a dinner invitation from a foreign ambassador since the first Varenechibel took the throne.”

After the attempted coup, when Maia could not sleep, he awoke early, and Avris and Esha disapproved of Maia's insistence on staying up, out of concern for Maia's health.

When Maru Sevraseched ordered that Maia have a part of his schedule set aside to practice riding a horse, rather than being constantly busy with other matters, Avris was encouraging.

Skills
Avris is skilled at his job, which involves dressing and undressing the emperor, and putting him to bed. Avris tends to handle Maia's hair.

Maia Drazhar
Avris appears to care for Maia, and is protective of him.
