Egan encountered Shar on the streets of Kaer Maga, where the drow helped him find his way back to the rest of the Blades. He offered to carry any messages back down to Korvosa for them.

Shar claimed to be a friend of Faunra’s family, referring to her as his “niece,” and said that he was the reason she and her father were living in Korvosa far from their Elven homeland in the Mierani Forest.
