Status

Alive (Over fifty, a veteran of the Third War for Armageddon, grey eyes. He blew the mole of Ederhaven himself, and wrote "Cadia" in field seven of Form M-9 for the fallen Ederhaveners. On Orlach he counted sixteen thousand two hundred harvested, three hundred and eleven of the regiment's fallen, and two thousand from the inner ring; he stood an hour before Ischyron's sealed chamber with the records and did not listen in. He no longer asks Kalvek what the sentence means: "I have written it down. In field seven. Eight hundred and fifty times." He has not worn the cap since the land gate.)
