Eventually, he was called before one of the Hierarchs, who urged 'Chavamee to profess faith in the Great Journey.

After the assassins were killed, Haka forced one of Fal's closest friends, Roh, into killing Fal's wife, Han, in order to provoke the Arbiter into a duel. Upon returning home from his fight with the assassins, he discovered Han's and Roh's bodies.
