Cale Darksun
I dunno. it seems you have more on your plate now then when you were more of a dreamer.
That's obvious.
1) He's not a knight anymore, he's a master. He gives orders, not takes them.
2) He's one of the highest ranking Generals in the Republic army. Again, giving orders, not takign them...
3) He pulls strategic command during his time in Hyperspace normally. He does much of the army's movements, and transmits while landing.
4) He's searching for the TSQ. Meaning much reasearch is needed to find clues to the hidden shards.
While, in VoW, he had:
1) twiddle his thumbs while waiting for the next cargo ship to the planet he needs.
2) protect this senator while he makes speeches lasting hours.
But he's a philosopher/dreamer at heart. Its just that he has little time to relax anymore.
