- Major
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 9
A dark-skinned older man with graying hair and the heavy facial bones of an Earther stands with a heavy build and a neck ropy with old muscle. His broad face holds eyes that convey hardness mixed with amused respect or narrow thoughtful intensity, frequently breaking into a warm smile that reaches them fully. He moves with authoritative posture and a straight spine befitting a former general and current OPA leader, typically wearing a blue button-down shirt with slacks or a formal tunic while commanding any room he enters.
