Nozar Arin Khuvaman is a minor character in Horizon Forbidden West.
History[]
Nozar became commander of Barren Light at some point after the Liberation.[citation needed]
Horizon Forbidden West[]
In preparation for the upcoming Embassy, Nozar ordered the gates of Barren Light sealed to everyone until the Embassy was complete with no exceptions.[1]
By the time Aloy arrived at Barren Light to attend the Embassy, only two of the three Tenakth clans had raised their banners to signal readiness. Sticking firmly to protocol, Nozar refused to start the Embassy until all three banners were raised and their horn has sounded. To his outrage, Aloy ignored his demands and ordered the guards to let her through anyway. When Aloy refused to back down, Nozar ordered her arrest; however, when berated and asked by Erend as to what Sun-King Avad would say about him keeping the gate closed to the Savior of Meridian, he relented and backed down.[2]
Nozar (behind the Carja chest) attending the Embassy.[2]
Shortly after, when the Tenakth sounded their readiness, Nozar, along with the Carja delegation, left the fort to begin the Embassy. Soon after, the Embassy was ambushed by Regalla's rebels, and Nozar urged Fashav to accompany the Carja delegation as they retreated back to safety in Barren Light. However, they were overrun and surrounded by mounted rebels just before the fort's closed gates. Nozar fought valiantly, but he was felled with an arrow to the abdomen by a rebel archer.[2] His remains were later given to his family.[3]
Personality[]
Nozar was best characterized by his care for protocol, only deviating from it when forced to. He was also bigoted, making condescending remarks towards both the Tenakth and Nora. He called the Tenakth "barbarians" and considered them impossible to make peace with, but recognized his duty to the Sun-King was more important than his personal opinions on the matter.[2]
Nozar believed Avad to be a good man, but far too kind, disapproving of his decision to have Ryas imprisoned in Sunstone Rock instead of being executed. He hoped that Ryas would be forgotten forever and rot in prison.[4]
