First appearance: act i

As a major figure in The House of Rimmon, Rezon Rimmon is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.

Rezon keeps the House of Rimmon, whose square tower casts its shadow across Naaman's garden, and he wields a rod tipped with star and thunderbolt. He repays Naaman's scorn with double hatred, yet he kneels before Tsarpi's beauty and needs her as much as she needs his promises. His midnight errand in the garden ignites the rivalry that drives the play's first acts.
