Barand

''"Hello there!" laughs the man, shirtless despite the frigid morning air, and between his sinewy legs shifts a great hulking antelelk, a king among its kind!''

Barand is a man encountered by Cassiopeia and Princess Ailin after Cassiopeia's ship crashes in the frigid polar wastes of Arabesh. As Cassiopeia later learns, Barand was exiled from the kingdom as part of a plot by Ardenzo's mother. Barand invites Cassiopeia and the princess to his home, but upon learning the princess's true identity, he attempts to kidnap her in order to be allowed to return to the kingdom.

He rides an enormous antelelk.
