* SpeakIllOfTheDead: He is very blunt about what kind of person Min Shelsin was and how they got along (or didn't), despite her recent violent demise. Since Celehar is trying to investigate her murder, this is actually helpful.

[[folder: Arveneän Shelsin]]
Arveneän Shelsin was the victim of the main case in ''The Witness for the Dead''. She was a beautiful, talented, ambitious opera singer with a taste for wealthy men and a rather unpleasant personality.

* AttentionWhore: She was a ''diva'' in both the professional and colloquial senses.
* BeautifulSingingVoice: Beautiful enough to be a principal in an opera company.
* GoldDigger: She had many male admirers, and preferred the rich ones.
* {{Jerkass}}: In classic murder mystery fashion, she was ''not'' a nice person, thus providing plenty of potential suspects when she got killed.
* PosthumousCharacter: She's already dead in her first appearance on-page.
