|Baon{{book ref|ws1ws|3|review=yes}}

When their group was running low on water and found [[Kenton]], Baon spoke to him in Dynastic, somehow detecting that he was being understood. At Baon's prodding Kenton showed them how to get water from the [[dorim vine]]s. Kenton then guided Baon and his companions to [[Kezare]]. When their group was attacked by [[Kerztian]] [[DaiKeen|warrior-priests]], Baon used one of his pistols to kill two of the warriors and scare the rest of them away. When they arrived in Kezare the group parted ways with Kenton, who went to the [[Diem]], and headed for the Darksider quarter, [[Lonzare]].{{book ref|ws1ws|4|review=yes}}

[[N'Teese]], for a ten [[lak]] fee, brought the group to meet with [[Loaten]]. Baon tried to join Khriss in her meeting with the man, but the guards at the door would not let him through. Khriss told him that it was fine and entered. When Khriss was leaving the office, Baon caught a glimpse of Loaten through the door and recognized him for who he was, a traitor to the Dynasty. He immediately pulled out his pistol and made to attack him, Khriss calmed him down, and the group made a hasty exit.{{book ref|ws1ws|5|review=yes}}

Baon accompanied Khriss as she attempted to meet with the [[Taishin]], searching for information on Gevin.

[[Jon Acron]] came to Khriss to profess concerns about Baon's trustworthiness, citing inconsistencies in the version of the events surrounding the death of Deral and his lieutenant that Baon had told them, but Khriss brushed off his concerns saying that Baon wouldn't lie to her.{{book ref|ws2ws|28|review=yes}}

When Khriss and Kenton were assaulted by yet another group of Kerztian assassins, Baon reacted quickly, pulling his charge out of harm's way. He tried to draw his pistols and join the fight, but an assassin noticed him and kicked him, knocking him to the ground. Kenton used his sand to pick up Baon's pistols from where they had fallen and use them against his opponents. Baon recovered in time to kill his assailant by stabbing him through his heart with his side knife. After the fight Khriss and Baon go to the Diem to help Kenton search for the missing tribute money.{{book ref|ws2ws|511|review=yes}}

The next day, while he was cleaning his pistols, Khriss confronted Baon about the incident with Deral. Baon admitted to having killed the captain and his lieutenant, and admitted to have been sent to [[Elis]] by the Dynasty. Without saying what his mission was, Baon took his pistols and left.{{book ref|ws2ws|612|review=yes}}

Soon after his departure Khriss began to miss his company and help, and regretted sending him away so hastily, without giving him a chance to explain himself.{{book ref|ws3ws|113|review=yes}}

Later, Khriss confronted Nilto at the docks loudly calling to him by his true name, Gevin. Acron, revealing himself as an assassin sent by Skathan to find and kill the missing prince, pulled out a pistol and moved to shoot Gevin. Baon reappeared then, and pushed a crate of fruit down onto Acron from atop a tall stack of crates, knocking the man to the ground. While he was talking to Khriss, Acron recovered and still on the ground, fired his gun at Baon, grazing him on his arm. After Khriss killed Acron, Baon explained that while he was indeed an agent of the Dynasty, his mission did not conflict with his obligation to guard Khriss, and so he was able to fulfill both of them. He explained that his mission, which was to investigate the threat the sand masters posed to the Dynasty, was complete, since in fact they had discovered that the magic could not be used on Darkside. Khriss asked him to retake his position as her guard and he agreed. Later at the Diem, Baon explained how he killed Deral to protect them from being betrayed to the border patrol.{{book ref|ws3ws|214|review=yes}}

The group went to the [[Tower (Taldain)|Tower]] to search for the missing [[Lord General]], [[Raagent]]. They found Raagent's corpse in the Tower's cellar, where he had been tortured to death by [[Sharezan]].{{book ref|ws3ws|416|review=yes}} On the way back to the Diem Baon theorized to Kenton that it was suspicious that one of his strongest supporters was murdered the day before the Taishin were to vote on the fate of the Diem. Kenton responded that he didn't think the Kerztians would do such a thing, but Baon maintained that if he was in their place it was what he would do.{{book ref|ws3ws|17|5review=yes}}

The next day he watched Kenton's duel with [[Drile]] together with Khriss at the Diem. When Khriss was distraught about how Kenton was being dominated by Drile Baon told her that she must not interfere as Kenton chose this fight with bravery and she must not take it away from him.{{book ref|ws3ws|517|review=yes}}
