Rava Gamdol

  • Minor
  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 4

Rava Gamdol lurks in the shadows of his barricaded bunk, his light fur catching faint glimmers like forgotten moonlight. There's a quiet isolation about him, a reticence that whispers of hidden depths. You sense he'd rather fade into the bulkheads than meet your eye.

Rava Gamdol, a light-furred crewmember akin to Yalson, keeps to his boarded-off bunk on the CAT, a reclusive figure among the mercenaries. His brief presence ends abruptly in the chaotic temple hall firefight on Schar's World, cut down amid the laser crossfire that claims several lives. He embodies the anonymous toll of the crew's doomed venture.

Description

Rava Gamdol's skin is covered in light fur, soft and pale like Yalson's, giving him a subtly feral yet humanoid appearance. He appears reclusive, often confined to his boarded-off bunk area. His build is unremarkable, blending into the ship's dim confines with a withdrawn posture.
