The man, Haanar, is a changeling. Twenty years ago, a simple farmer named Ragir ventriloquism (page 381)
Grenvill was seduced by a hag in disguise, and the child from that union was left in town
for poor Ragir to care for as his own. When Haanar came of age, he started to exhibit
strange powers and otherworldly abilities. Worse still, his temper seemed uncontrollable,
and after several fights with other villagers, he was exiled. As his father had passed away
several winters before, Haanar has no clue as to why he has the powers that he has. He
hired the ogre to kidnap Lazino, hoping that the sage would have the answers he seeks.
Lazino beseeches the Haanar with the following.

A light of recognition on Lazino’s face turns into sadness and then compassion. “Your father
never told you, did he?” the old sage says. “I can see it in your eyes and features. Your father was
a fool who gave of his heart too freely. Before you were born, he was deceived by a mysterious
woman that visited our small town. She was gone after only a fortnight, but nine months later,
a child was left on your father’s door. It was then that I knew that your mother was a hag, a
powerful creature and decidedly evil, but I hoped that through Ragir’s love you might be raised
to be an upstanding member of the community. It seems I was wrong, but it’s not too late. You
could still find a place with us!”

Lazino’s sincerity gives Haanar enough pause that the characters have a minute to Make
an Impression (Core Rulebook 246) on Haanar and calm the situation. While Haanar
arrived with an attitude of hostile, Lazino’s words shift his attitude to unfriendly. If the
characters can change his attitude to at least friendly, he reveals that over the past few
years he has felt a calling to find his mother, but given Lazino’s revelation, he agrees to
return to the town and try to overcome his more sinister impulses. More importantly, he
decides not to torture Lazino for withholding this knowledge from him for so many years.
If his attitude ever returns to hostile, however, he becomes enraged and attacks.
