Porthios is the eldest child of Solostaran, the former Speaker of the Suns of Qualinesti. He is the brother of Gilthanas and Laurana. Porthios has never understood his siblings, and resents the attention that Gilthanas has received for his adventuring. He has also lost repect for Laurana, who ran away to follow her childhood friend Tanis Half-Elven and his companions into the slave mines of Pax Tharkas. Porthios himself stayed behind to tend to his ill father. He later inherited the position of Speaker of the Suns after Solostaran passed away. He later married the Silvanesti princess Alhana Starbreeze in an attempt to reunite the elven lands of Qualinesti and Silvanesti. He and his wife were later exiled from Qualinost during a corrupt political plot to replace him as Speaker with Tanis and Laurana's inexperienced son Gilthas.
