Faron Bastien do Charles

King of Brune, Faron was a just a benevolent ruler, until the apparent death of his only daughter, Princess Regin, which caused him to breakdown mentally and suffer an illness that began afflicting his body and rendering him unable to keep Ganelon and Thenardier in check. It is later revealed he was poisoned by Ganelon's minions to (if not the initial cause) keep him mindbroken and ill while killing him extremely slowly. After the civil war ends, he is reunited with his daughter and formally recognizes her as a member of the Royal Family and his heir. He also congratulates Tigre and his friends for saving her and ending Thenardier and Ganelon's plans.

With his dying breath, Faron gives Tigre the title of Knight of the Moonlight, a title that, in ancient times, was only given to a hero who became the next king of Brune, although only Badowin knows of the true meaning of the title.
