Hobbies:  none, really – who has time?

Personality: He's very considerate of others and tries to listen to them. When he takes a task to hand he needs to finish it. He does have a tough time delegating responsibility. He is straight-forward in what he does and says, not wanting to deceive anyone. He is the soul of discretion though

He loves to keep busy and has a tough time taking a break and relaxing. If someone can break him away from his duty he tends to really let loose. His smile has disarmed a woman or two too.

Background:  Born to a pair of riders, the product of a flight, he has no full-blooded siblings, though he does 

have four half-brothers. He was raised partially in the Weyr and partially in a Hold, Ista Hold. His Uncle and 

Aunt in the Hold cared for him and taught him most of his values. When he returned to the Weyr at about the

 age of eighteen he was immediately searched. He stood for two clutches with no success. As he stood for his 

third clutch, his frustration mounting, he was surprised to Impress one of two bronzes in the clutch. He and

 his lifemate grew and prospered and before they knew it, they'd graduated. He was singled out by the 

Weyrleader as a helper, of sorts, and though he wasn't a Wingsecond, he helped the Weyrleader in his running 

of the Weyr. As time passed he did eventually make Wingsecond. During a green flight, his Marxyth caught 

Heatherath and nine months later little Surah was born. He saw the child often, though she stayed with her 

mother. Just before she and her mother, Neva, transferred to Southern Weyr he was promoted to Wingleader.

 His wing always had the best rating on fighting thread. He recently heard that something had happened 

with his daughter, but he doesn't know what. He wants to try and see his little seven turn old soon, but duty

 always comes first. There was an opening for a bronzerider at Paradise River Weyr and he thought it'd be

 different so he transferred down there.  Upon arrival though, he was appointed Weyrsecond!  The Weyr was in

 turmoil over a few different things but he dug in and worked as hard as he could.  When the plague hit the Weyr

 he was one of those affected, though he was among the few to recover.  He began to get his health back just as

 the Weyrleader quit and took off, leaving him as Acting Weyrleader.  He worked harder than he should in his

 weakened condition and it took him longer to recover, but finally he made it back to full health.  He’d no sooner 

regained his health when the quakes came, shaking the north.  Now his Weyr is overrun by all of the survivors

 and he’s trying to deal with all of the extra riding pairs.

shades of light.
