Hair: Dark brown, kept very short

Personality: Intense and stubborn, with an independent, mischievous streak that has calmed only slightly as he's grown. When Lothan devotes his attention to something, he devotes all his attention to it; once he decides he wants to do or learn something, nothing short of major catastrophe can shake him from his goal. This drive can blind him to reason and common sense from time to time, though it's proved an asset in his craft training. In matters that don't interest him, he can be flighty and forgetful.
Lothan is generally friendly, but doesn't get close to many people. However, once he makes a friend, he's attached for life. Likewise, he holds grudges forever.
History: Lothan doesn't really have any idea who his parents were, and doesn't much feel the lack. Raised in the Weyr from a very young age, he got into everything and tended to be underfoot at the worst possible times. When he met his friend Therion, the general reaction was a mix of dismay and relief; the boys became fast friends, Therion bringing some small and welcome measure of common sense to Lothan's wild schemes, and Lothan egging Therion on in their shared mischief. When Therion suggested that they should become "blood brothers," Lothan agreed enthusiastically.
The close, brotherly friendship remained strong even while the boys were separated for their craft apprenticeships, in spite of the short and awkward letters they only occasionally exchanged. Lothan threw himself into his new craft wholeheartedly, though he never quite stopped missing the Weyr that had been his home.
Now, in his 18th turn, Lothan has returned to the Weyr as a Candidate, excited at the prospect of becoming a rider and thrilled to be reunited with his brother and partner in crime.
