Zamaran

Zamaran is a character from Tales of Legendia.

Before Tales of Legendia
Before the events of the game, Zamaran was a scholar living on the mainland who used to be a adventurer. One day when he was out adventuring for the Everlight he got into an accident and lost his sense of sight. He decided to quit adventuring and took a interest in teaching and became the teacher of Sven. Sometim after Zamaran got into a argument with Sven about the existence of Everlight, this caused Zamaran to get angry to expel Sven and spat in his face. He later met Norma Beatty and took a disliking to her after finding out she too was a believer of the Everlight.

Introduction
During the introduction of the character quest Zamaran first appears after Chloe Valens returns to the Legacy. The party bumps into him after he accidentally rams himself into Chloe while going around the city. Shirley Fennes asks if she could help him, Zamaran simply replies if he could get directions to the graveyard. Senel Coolidge points to the direction of the city it is located, but Zamaran explains to them that he is blind so they decide to escort him to the graveyard. When they get to the graveyard Norma starts yelling after seeing him, which causes Zamaran to figure out that it is Norma. Zamaran hearing the way Norma is acting causes him to call her a monkey, which makes Norma angry and causes her to leave. After Norma is gone Zamaran is asked by Senel on how he knows Norma, Zamaran just tells him "Ask the monkey yourself."

Chasing a Dream
Zamaran appears at the very beginning of Norma's character quest when Senel and Moses Sandor arrive at the Fountain Plaza. There is seen arguing with Norma telling her to give up on finding the Everlight and ends up calling Sven a foolish man, which makes Norma extremely angry at him. Zamaran leaves the area telling Norma not to be fool and stop this before she knows the true meaning of despair. The night the party returns from the Man Eating Ruins, Zamaran arrives and mocks Norma for not finding the Everlight after trying so hard. Norma tells him to leave and he does so.

The day after Norma gets poisoned at the Ice Monument, she disappears so the party goes to Zamaran asking if he saw her, he tells them she went to the graveyard. After Norma tells the party she is going to quit looking for the Everlight, Zamaran comes and tells her off saying she no longer has the right of say Sven's name. After Norma leaves Will Raynard talks to Zamaran saying that he told her that on purpose so she will still look for the Everlight. Zamaran eventually revealed why he came to Legacy, to take Norma back to the Mainland so she wouldn't suffer a accident like him or Sven.
