Asbinan

Also known as: Agben · Role: son of Ayo · First appears: Tale 26

In Tale 26, Aponibolinayen gave birth to Asbinan after seven months, and he married Asigowan at Nagwatowátan. When she returned to him, he recognized her as his wife, and they held a big party; not long after, Alokotán gave them all her property.

In Tale 28, Asbinan is called Ayo’s son, and Alokotán took care of him. He asked her to arrange his marriage to Dawinisan, who initially said she was not ready. Asbinan used magic to enter a golden cup and pretended to be ill; when Dawinisan rubbed his stomach, he sat up. Their betel-nut quids showed “it was good for them to marry.” Dawinisan agreed if her family’s requested marriage price was paid, and Alokotán used magic to provide it. The families agreed they could marry, and after the pakálon Alokotán used magic to transfer the houses to Kadalayapan without the guests knowing.

In Tale 29, Asbinan is named as the son of Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen. He used a love charm on Sinobyaman, and agreed to cure her only if they married; they did, and her family received the marriage price.
