In Onyx Storm, when Violet Sorrengail’s quest squad arrives on Hedotis, Faris and Talia welcome them at the beach and host them in their home. He presides over the Triumvirate’s test of wisdom during a dinner, serving arinmint tea and cake. When Garrick Tavis collapses after eating the cake, it’s revealed that Faris poisoned the cake, sparking a crisis. Faris also delays aiding Violet when the poison’s effects spread, until threatened with the welfare of his children, allowing the group to leave Hedotis safely.
