Description

Curly, short-cropped hair the colour of warm toffee shades K'del's handsome face, matched in the light fuzz upon his narrowly pointed chin, and the long eyelashes that surround his baby-blue eyes. His features are delicate, almost pretty; he avoids outright prettiness in part thanks to the faded acne scars that line the high-boned cheeks of his fair-skined face. Slenderly muscular, and standing several inches above six foot tall, he carries himself with the confidence and comfort of one older than his turns, a nonchalant swagger marking his step.

WYSK

• High Reaches Weyrleader since Day 11, Month 6, Turn 19 (coincidentally, his seventeenth turnday), when his Cadejoth caught Iovniath after her choice, Nikoth, was forced to drop out by his rider. His extreme youth and inexperience, and rocky relationship with Tiriana, has plagued his leadership. Nonetheless, Cadejoth also won Iovniath's second flight in Turn 21.

• He's apparently originally from a Vinehold in the Tillek area, where he is the second youngest of nine, and the seventh son. He came to the weyr at fifteen, in turn 17, and Impressed Cadejoth a few months later.

• Any number of weyr women can claim to have been in bed with him, though these days he appears to be limiting his affections. He and Headwoman Milani have been carrying on a non-exclusive relationship for some turns, and have a son together (Nikalas, b. Day 25, Month 9, Turn 23). K'del also has another son, Kasey, with Greenrider Avey (b. Month 7, Turn 23).

• Those who have known him since his arrival at the weyr will remember him as being outspoken on the subject of himself and supremely confident, though this seems to have been tempered in the wake of his ascent to the Weyrleadership. He is, otherwise, relatively outgoing and inclined to being charming, and boasts a wide circle of friends.

History

Kasadel hails from a cothold not far from Tillek, where his parents and siblings raise grapes that eventually become Tillek red. He had a happy, busy childhood: with six brothers and two sisters, 'quiet' was not a term well-used to describe the family home. Even from an early age, however, Kas was eager to prove himself - with so many older siblings, all successful in their own ways, it was hard for the (second) youngest to stand out as anything but the baby.

As adulthood approached, he could see more and more clearly that if he wanted to be more than just another grape grower, his place could not always be within the bosom of his family, no matter how comfortable he found the relationship. With so many brothers, inheritance of the vines was clearly not his lot, but nor did he particularly take to the idea of working forever beneath his eldest brother.

Thus, soon after his fifteenth turnday, Kasadel finally made the decision to leave home, and find some way that he could prove himself as much as any of his brothers with their crafts, holds, and marriages. Somewhere, he was sure, there was a life more suited to his tastes: beer instead of wine, and perhaps employment with more immediate payoff than the long-term, painstaking development of the vine. He made his way first to Tillek, briefly enjoying employment crushing grapes, but jumped at the chance of going further, to the weyr, accompanying the tithe, where he hoped opportunity might present itself.

Mere sevendays after his arrival at the Weyr, Kasadel was Searched for Rielsath and Malsaeth's clutch, and went on to Impress bronze Cadejoth - opportunity enough for anyone. He had only been graduated six months when his ambitions got turned on their head, when, on his seventeenth turnday, Cadejoth caught senior queen Iovniath, and thrust K'del into the position of Weyrleader.

Relationships

• P'ax and K'del were first rivals, later friends, then not-friends... and now mostly friendly again. It's been complicated.
• K'del and Milani have been lovers since he was a weyrling, and in more recent turns, something a lot more. It's an open relationship, but significantly less so now than it was a few turns ago.
• K'del has a difficult relationship with Tiriana; he would dearly like her to respect him, though, on the other hand, he finds her enormously frustrating at times.
• He and Teris were 'friends' for a while, but don't really seem to be on good terms anymore. This seems to frustrate him.
