Nepevis Duhalar

Nepevis Duhalar is a member of the House Duhalada, son of Nepena Duhalar, and father of Alasho Duhalin.

Personality
Nepevis was a liar and a fraud, and quick to punish others for his own crimes, including his own daughter.

Life
Nepevis was the eldest son of Nepena Duhalar of Duhalada and Cedharad, one of the biggest importing firms in Amalo. He was one of 4-5 brothers, with one half-sister. Nepevis was an influential voice in Prince Orchenis Clunethar's government.

After Nepena's death, Nepevis presented a fake, "alternate" will as genuine, which led to disputes in the family. Two weeks after Nepena died, the family was still arguing over Nepena's disputed will. Alasho petitioned Thara Celehar to Witness for Nepena without telling her family. Thara went with Alasho to the Duhaladeise home, and they were met with anger. Thara stated it was "futile to remonstrate with" Alasho, and that they should "glad" that it was not within Thara's remit "to inquire why no one else thought to do the same as she."

Thara Witnessed through Nepena's signet, and heard Nepena's satisfaction that Pelara would make his business prosper. Thara told Pelara that he was Nepena's heir. The Duhalada argued for over an hour before Thara left, demanding Thara reiterate. Pelara got servants to witness a formal testimony.

Nepevis went to the Amal'theileian to accuse Thara of fraud by being in Pelara's pay as a plot to take over Duhalada and Cedharad, and requested Thara face a trial of ordeal to prove himself. When Nepevis realized he would be declared a fraud, he took his request to the Amalomeire, where it came under the eye of the Amal'othala. The Amal'othala insisted on a trial of ordeal for Thara, which Thara passed. Nepevis was declared a fraud.

Nepevis remained in the Bereth, the jail in the Veren'malo where prisoners of good family were kept, while awaiting Orchenis' sentence. He attended the reading of his father's actual will, under guard.

Alasho Duhalin
Nepevis berated Alasho harder than his brothers for bringing a Witness vel ama to the Duhaladeise compound, likely due to wanting to keep his fraud hidden.
