Cecil Mayer

Chief of Medical of the Fleet scout, the UAV Moontide.

Appearance and Personality

A digitigrade Hinichi from Neshemah, a colony planet, mixed human and Hinichi. He has the generic wolf coat color, light gray and white with ragged darker gray markings, and a gray saddle on his back ("a winter shading autumn," though the Neshemah Hinichi don't care as much about coat colors). His eyes are hazel.

Biography

Born in 352 BA; (he is 62 in 414 when the Moontide picks up the Starlightning's distress call). He met Arete in 414 BA during the Crispin/Acron affair, which began his lifelong association with the D-per, with whom he wrote the Mayer Directive.

Followed up his career as a shipboard healer with a stint in Fleet's Medical and Psychiatry division, where his area of interest was better health inventories, or protocols: an attempt to prevent future Luke Acrons from happening.

Cecil and Arete

Died in 453 BA at the age of 101.

Family

Wife: Gardenia Segal (married in 417 BA). Children: 2 Hinichi (two boys), 2 Asanii (one girl, one boy)

Quotes

• "We’re here for the full experience. Or else, we aren’t living."
• "That Crispin was capable of evoking the bright virtues of friendship should be counted toward his portion. I would that he be remembered for that, rather than the dark obsession he suffered. But since I can’t have the one, I will settle for this incident fading into obscurity."
