About
Captain of the NV Dawnward — a Survey man by choice and never a soldier, risen out of coastal shipwright stock into the Sol yards. He needs the age he flies through to have been worth what it cost, which is a harder position to hold than it sounds. The Sable Reach is his first command of a major expedition into ground the ledger has never seen.
Per upstream: "a Survey man by choice, never a soldier"; the Sable Reach is his first command of a major ledger-dark expedition; Renwick picked him "because he's proven, decent, and trusts the process." His older brother died in the post-cascade consolidation wars, "the campaigns that bought the peace he now flies through."
