Hrathen is a senior priest of a rather strict religion: a Derethi imperial high priest, no less. He supposes the fall of Elantris is the result of a punishment by the god Jaddeth for the sins of Elantrians. He's from Fjorden, the country that Sarene thinks is about to start a war.
He turns up in Kae in Arelon and sends the old priest home for being useless, but finds a use for a fanatical teacher named Dilaf. Hrathen has orders from Wryn, presumably the head of the religion. His mission is to convert everyone in Arelon to his religion in order to save them from being wiped out in the war.
For all I know all this might be literally true.
