Hobbies: Though no one knows it, L'rek likes belt knives and has a small collection of them.  He also has a dagger that his foster father made for him that he cherishes.

Personality:  L'rek is a very stern and serious.  Unyielding and unspeakably known to be terrifying with authority, his life is his work as a dragonrider and his beloved dragon.  He dislikes frivolity and will not tolerate it.  He's discipline, organized, and determined to get the job done.

Background: Larek was born in Fort Hold as a bastard son of the Lord Holder, a result of the infidelity of the man with a kitchen drudge. Raised offhandedly by his neglectful mother and by a kindly cook named Cora, Larek quickly learned to take care of himself. He grew up to be fiercely independent and quick-witted under such inattentiveness. At eleven turns, Larek's mother disappeared, rumored to have left for the south to marry some minor lord holder but Larek never found out the truth and never cared to. He drifted from home to home for a while. At last, he ended up at Blacksmith Hall where a cheerful, kind-hearted Blacksmith named Gelion took him in and apprenticed him. He taught Larek the tricks of the trade and how to defend himself against attackers.
       When Larek turned fourteen, he was Searched by a visiting Searchrider from Fort Weyr. Larek, unlike most boys, had never had a particular interest in dragons or fire-lizards. Gelion, however, encouraged him to go with the Searchrider. The first time Larek stood on the sands, he Impressed one of the seven bronzes of the clutch, bonding with bronze Galianth.
       As L'rek now, he took quickly to the life of the dragonriders. He shot easily through the ranks throughout the turns and became a trusted friend of the Weyrleader's. At 22, he had a son with Moirah, the rider of a gold Galianth caught during a mating flight, that they named Lian. He finally became Wingleader at 24 turns and formed one of the finest, most disciplined wings during that time.  Seven years later, disaster struck Fort Weyr when a massive earth quake hit the north, annihilating not only Fort but Telgar, Igen, and High Reaches. L'rek and Galianth helped evacuate as many from the Weyr as possible with the help of Free Falling's riders.  When all was said and done, the devastation done to Fort was immense and the surviving riders were forced to transfer to other Weyrs. L'rek, by Moirah's suggestion, transferred to Free Falling Weyr.

Dragon Information

Name: Galianth

Age: 17

Color: bronze

Personality: Galianth is wise and cunning. He matches his rider's stern attitude with a more light-hearted perspective of life. Galianth's wry humor and gentle acceptance of the world has made him come off as whimsical to others. L'rek's often too serious approach to things is countered by this bronze's more subtle personality.
