<!--ARTICLE DE SIXTH WORLD WIKI A TRADUIRE
He believes that in another 2,500 years, metahumanity will have developed both the magic and the technology to defend against the Horrors. He has been described as the embodiment of chaos — unpredictable, mercurial, and usually quite detached. He is a reluctant knight, not wanting to save the world, but often knowing he is the only one in a position who can do so.
He is a frequent commentator on [[Shadowland]] under the moniker "Laughing Man" with the signature "Ha! Fraggin' Ha!". His comments tease by providing enigmatic hints, but never the full truth. He fully believes that people should find out the truth for themselves and never by merely accepting what is told. Under the name -H-, he once posted a ominous message about [[wraith|wraiths]].
== Background ==
His hair is goldish-brown, but usually dyes it red and keeps it tied in a ponytail. His eyes are green, with gold flecks, but may change depending on his mood. His left ear was cut off in his first duel with Ehran. He has worn a prothesic ear since then. He is average height for an elf, being a head shorter in height than Ehran. His usual manner of dress is a long black or brown leather coat, with lots of buttons on the lapel. Underneath the coat, he wears blue jeans, a cotton t-shirt, along with anaconda-skin cowboy boots.
His face is usually painted. Sometimes, it is a single diamond over one eye. More frequently, it is full whiteface with diamonds over both eyes and a triangle over his mouth. The colors may vary depending on mood. He has painted himself this way since at least the Renaissance.
Harlequin is temperamental, with his attitude, manner, philosophy, dress, and accent, all subject to change depending on his mood. He is quick-witted, but his jokes may depend on some enigmatic reference that few in the world would understand. Harlequin is quick to anger, but quick to forgive, except in the case of his all-consuming rivalry with [[Ehran the Scribe|Ehran]]. He is unbelievably vain. He believed himself too important to remain behind to protect [[Thayla]] from the Horrors. Though capable of discussing any subject, and he often does so in a rambling manner difficult to follow, he usually reveals little, preferring people to discover for themselves. It is often difficult to tell if he's telling the truth or a farfetched lie, such as when he said the Tunguska blast was him "attempting to whack the rock into orbit".
==History==
Harlequin was born in [[The Fourth World|the Fourth World]]. In the Age of Legends, he was a senior Knight of the Crimson Spire of the City of Spires, Sereatha. The Knights of the Crimson Spire were dedicated to to the preservation and protection of elven culture and traditions. Harlequin served as Sereatha's ambassador to the Elven Court in the Blood Wood. While ambassador, he loudly condemned the corruption of the elves of the Blood Wood. [[Alachia|Queen Alachia]] ignored all his criticisms, causing others to believe the two were related by family or were on intimate terms. Some unknown tragedy broke Harlequin's spirit, removing all notions of being a noble knight. As the last of his order, Harlequin is also known as the Last Knight of the Crying Spire.
He may have been King Richard the Lion-Hearted. According to Harlequin, King Richard I's armor "still fits," though this may be one of his jokes.


In Renaissance-era France, he fought a ''[[chal'han]]'' with [[Ehran the Scribe]] and lost. In the final physical duel, Ehran cut off Harlequin's left ear.
He has spent much of the Sixth World focused on magical research and and his hatred of [[Ehran the Scribe|Ehran]]. In either 2053 or 2054, he challenged Ehran to another ''chal'han''. After the duel, he took Ehran's daughter, [[Jane Foster|Jane "Frosty" Foster]] into his care.  With the completion of the duel, Harlequin fell into a drunken stupor, having nothing further to drive him on. The Mad Passion Vestrial appeared to Harlequin, spurring him to undertake an astral quest to recover Thayla and her voice to prevent the [[Horrors]] from crossing the [[Spike Point]] created by the Great Ghost Dance. In 2056, several kahunas opened a gateway and several Horrors did cross. With the aid of [[Dirk Montgomery]], the gate was closed. Soon afterwards, he helped Aina fight the Horror Ysrthgrathe. In August 2057, he and [[Aina Dupree|Aina]] joined with [[Ryan Mercury]] to use the [[Dragon Heart]] to finally level out the [[Spike Point]].
==Abilities==
Harlequin is self-initiated into the high double-digits, but he usually Masks his aura. He doesn't follow any magical tradition, but he has a strong [[Hermetic magic|hermetic]] bias.  He is a swordmaster and wizard adept. He has also demonstrated the Lightbringer ability of Armor of Light. He is effectively immortal, being over 7,000 years old, though he told [[Nadja Daviar]] he was only over 300 years old. He is immune to pathogens, disease, poison, and age.
== Relationships ==
Unlike his fellow immortals, Harlequin does not involve himself with politics and intrigue at the international level. He affects the world on a much more personal level. He has spent much of the Sixth World immersed in magical research.
Harlequin has a long, close, and often adversarial relationship with [[Ehran the Scribe]]. They both had the same teacher. In Renaissance-era France, Ehran won a duel with Harlequin, cutting off his left ear, earning a long-burning enmity. Harlequin won a chal'han against him in 2053 or 2054. Since the duel, their relationship has become friendly, though still edgy. They have met online in the Matrix and have had at least one face-to-face meeting. Ehran knows that his daughter is in Harlequin's custody, though he has expressed no concerns for his daughter being under Harlequin's care or tutelage.
Harlequin kidnapped Ehran's daughter, [[Jane Foster|Jane "Frosty" Foster]], as part of his recent duel. Since then, he has tutored her in her magical abilities. She is frequently exasperated with Harlequin, since he usually does not explain anything. Foster also has a strong desire for control, an emotion not often experienced in Harlequin's presence. Harlequin has not told Foster of her true parentage and Ehran wishes her not to know, so that she doesn't live in his shadow. Others, including Aina and Dunkelzahn, have insinuated that Harlequin and Foster have a more intimate relationship.
Harlequin had a cordial relationship with [[Dunkelzahn]]. Dunkelzahn once invited him to be a guest of [[Wyrm Talk]]. Even though he acknowledged Dunkelzahn as a friend and that they shared the same goal of stopping the Horrors, he still recognized him as a dragon, and therefore an enemy of elves. Eventually, he would have be slain. To Ehran, Harlequin admitted thoughts that he could have unconsciously arranged the death of Dunkelzahn, though he told Ryan Mercury he alone was not strong enough to kill the dragon, and that he he had no wish to do so. [[Dunkelzahn]] in his [[Dunkelzahn's Will|will]] bequeathed him King Richard the Lion Hearted's suit of armor and the sword Excalibur. The location of Excalibur is currently unknown, though in 2062, a man known as the [[Pendragon]] appeared in the United Kingdom. The Pendragon's sword may be Excalibur. He has already claimed the suit of armor from the [[Draco Foundation]].
[[Hestaby]] has seemed to replace [[Dunkelzahn]] as Harlequin's dragon ally. They frequently post responses to each other on [[Shadowland]].
Harlequin was formerly a lover of [[Aina Sluage|Aina Dupree]]. They remain on friendly terms, though he aggravates her just like he grates on everyone else. He saved her from an addiction to absinthe in the 19th century. He was the sole person she could rely on, when she warned the leaders of [[Tir Tairngire]] and [[Tír na nÓg]] of the impending arrival of the [[Horrors]].
== Quotes ==
"When Fate taps you on the shoulder, you'd best pay attention. Unfortunately, she has the blasted habit of tapping you on the ''opposite'' shoulder, so that when you turn around she's actually on your other side, giggling like a schoolgirl. I hate that." - Harlequin's Back

'''Harlequin''', aka Har'lea'quinn, Caimbuel, or Quentin 'Quinn' Harlech, is one of the most powerful individuals in the Sixth World. He is an [[Immortal Elves|immortal elf]] who has frequently fought the [[Horrors]], and has so far kept them from prematurely entering the Sixth World.
