Naran (ナラン) is a fictional character featured in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.
Role in Game
A smooth-talking Mongolian mercenary who takes pride in his roots, he often acts as an intermediary between nobles and other mercenaries in exchange for a portion of the reward. Although this plan has made him financially successful with clients, others are irked by his boastfulness and cunning. Despite being unfazed by the criticisms of others, he only begins to change his ways after falling in love with a female knight who reprimands him for taking the glory of others.
Bladestorm: Nightmare
Bladestorm: Nightmare has Naran join Philippe le Bon's attack on Magnus's forces, believing them to be in league with the monsters invading France. After being subdued, he and the other mercenaries agree to help out after learning the truth behind the monster attacks. If Naran and Philippa had been rescued by the player before in Brittany, the former will repay his debt in Île-de-France by persuading some of the hostile soldiers into defecting.
