Azari Pasdar's Links
Azari doesn't allow Demyan's disapproval bother him. He feels the connection he has with Leshem is important and out weighs the arguement that Demyan makes about the situation. Even if he did care, the pact was made and it is too late now for him to change anything. Thus Azari continues to not concern himself with Demyan's nagging.
He has a strong disapproval of Azari's decision to make a pact with the Blight Dragon, Leshem. He frequently seems unable to put that aside despite their relation to each other (perhaps he is just being a protective older brother). While he doesn't hold any hatred towards Azari, he still has difficulty accepting his choices like a disappointed father...
Azari originally did not get along well with Leshem due to the Blight Dragon's sometimes unruly and selfish nature. However the pact they share caused the two to bond over time and become more than just friends or partners. Due to this, Azari is very protective and loves Leshem dearly.
Leshem was originally too proud to share a pact with such a "goody-two-shoes" as Azari, considering he was quite narcissistic. After a while though the Blight Dragon found himself becoming more attached to the Galatier and based on the devotion given to protecting Surya, he even became jealous but would never admit to it. Even though he is stubborn and would never say it out loud, Leshem truly does care about Azari even beyond the pact.
Azari has been Surya's bodyguard and servant since the prince was a baby and had also raised him as a child. He cares a lot about Surya and does his very best to protect him and ensure his safety which is his top priority. He would sacrifice himself for the prince without hesitation, and he does not judge his prince in any way even if he disagrees with him. He understands Surya's pain and wishes to soothe it by any means necessary.
Surya has known Azari since he was a little boy and trusts him with anything and everything. Azari is his primary confidant and his best friend as well. Even if it were not Azari's duty, he knows the galatier is well worth his weight in gold with just his heart alone, so he has total faith in his bodyguard to accomplish anything.
