Arin was the favored pupil of Megan Björn. He is known to his clan to be her retainer though what duties he might do for her is unknown. To the public he is her younger brother, Arin Björn. Though there are doubts that they are related in reality, Megan being the elder of the clan. It is possible that he is a descendent as they do appear to be from the same racial stock.
As the young partial owner of Meridian Apex Enterprises, Arin seems to live the good life.

Alfarinn 18 years ago
There were originally plot reasons for portraying him differently but we expected more people in Evenhet at the start than we had.

He is different from how he portrays himself and his public bio reflects that alternate identity.
