Faran

Faran (ぎょるぎす Georgis) is the mayor of Lalivero, and the adoptive father of Sheba. He cares deeply for her like he does the rest of his normal family. When she is kidnapped toward the end of Golden Sun, he immediately rushes after her, only to be locked out of Venus Lighthouse, by a door that only permits Adepts to pass. Frustrated, he entrusts the task of recovering her to Isaac's party. After the events atop the lighthouse he learns that Sheba fell from the aerie, into the sea. Despite this, he has faith that she is still alive, and again entrusts Isaac to search for her using Babi's Lemurian Ship.

Although she recognises him as a father, Sheba still desires to find out who her true family is, and hence agreed to travel with Felix even after Saturos and Menardi were defeated. Briefly, she believed that she had found her origins, when it was revealed that Hama had relatives from who she had been long separated from. This was short-lived, as it turned out that Ivan was the Adept in question. Disheartened, Kraden comforts Sheba by reminding her that although she does not know her biological family, Faran was still a caring and loving father, something he did not have himself.
