Auster Damon-Rafael Elhalyn y Lanart
- a.k.a.
- Age: 25
- Marital Status: About to be forced into marriage.
- Occupation: Retired (?) rogue, now about-to-be married Comyn lord.
- Former Occupations: Fop, then cadet, then junior officer, followed by wastrel.
- Residence: Formerly Vainwal, now Castle Stonehaven.
- Laran gift and laran training: Kicked out of Comyn Tower for unethical use of laran while he was still in training (have you ever noticed that Keepers have no sense of humor?). He has the Alton gift with not quite enough Elhalyn time-seeing to drive him mad (this may be debatable at times).
- Politics: Whatever benefits him the most.
- Personality: Guess.
- Strengths: See answer to "Romantic Relationships"
- Weaknesses: See "Hobbies".
- Combat training: Excellent with a sword (he had to be - for some reason, fathers and brothers kept challenging him), crossbow, long bow, short bow, knife, fists (he adores blood sports), blasters and pistols (same explanation as for sword expertise), unarmed combat (ibid), and some familiarity with vehicular weaponry - he was a leading cause of road rage on Vainwal. One has to defend oneself with the weapons at hand, after all.
- Horseback riding: Yes, and does not limit himself to horses and chervines.
- Appearance: Classically handsome with wavy auburn hair that curls slightly just at his collar, and a small mustache, perfectly trimmed. Very dark blue eyes which always have a rakish twinkle, broad shoulders, good muscular definition. Dresses extremely well and doesn't like to appear in public less than perfectly groomed. Looks like other men wish they could.
- Romantic relationships: Many, too numerous to detail in a single post.
- Friends: See "Pets" for his real friends, although he has many acquaintances. Perhaps the girls in the joyhouses might count, but you don't usually call people you pay "friends". He is very fond of some of them, though. He also has a soft spot for his stepmother Judith, who was such a comfort that year they kicked him out of the Tower; and who supported him when the Cadet Master was going to kick him out for demerits. Who'd have thought a little thing like six women in the barracks would upset him so? He was just being gracious and trying to help his uninitiated buddies become REAL men. Judith recognized his worth more than his own father, who always seemed to be angry. (Maybe he would have lived longer if he had developed some hobbies.)
- Pets: Has more respect for his hawks, horses and hounds than to refer to them as "pets". They are better friends than most people, and are not after his money.
- Hobbies: Blood sports, adventure, women, men, speeding, drinking, dancing, acting rakishly.
- Other Information: Has been ordered by Danvan Hastur to find a suitable bride before Midwinter; otherwise, the old coot will pick one for him and Auster is uncertain of Danvan's taste in women.
- Family Tree: Only living member of his immediate line, which is why he has been ordered back to Darkover to marry and propagate it. The propagating part sounds more interesting than the marrying part, but he does think that perhaps he should have a legitimate heir for his estate, Stonehaven. His mother was a Lanart of the Edelweiss line.
