	Lisinthir Nase Galare is the only son of Malavi Nase Galare and Korval Keldi Imthereli. A superb swordsman, he was probably trained by [[List of Minor or Background Characters \|Shoriven Fol Nase]], a legendary swordsman in the north. As a child, Lisinthir was raised in a hostile and loveless environment, often used by his parents as a weapon against one another. In later years, he reveals to his cousin and lover, [[Jahir Seni Galare]], that his parents never gave him a milk-name or love-name, the shortened version of a child's formal name used by intimates and bestowed as a mark of love; Jahir gifts him with the name Lin.

	The Chatcaavan ship carrying Lisinthir to the Alliance was attacked just short of the border by other Chatcaava. He was rescued by Jahir and Vasiht'h and the crew of the ''[[UAV Quicklance \| Quicklance]]'', but at the price of four of their crew and nearly all of their propulsion. While the Fleet ship drifted, Jahir discovered that his cousin was in dire condition physically, what with drug addiction, malnourishment, and injury, but mentally whole, having found love and purpose in the Empire. However, Lisinthir's animal magnetism woke desires in Jahir that threatened the therapist's mental equilibrium. So it was that Jahir helped Lisinthir survive his drug-withdrawal seizures, while Lisinthir helped Jahir make a start toward unrepressing his carnal side.

	When the Quicklance's crew decided that they couldn't fix their ship, Lisinthir suggested and helped implement a rescue plan: they sent out a distress call and took over the Chatcaavan ship that responded. Lisinthir tortured the identity of the attackers out of a dragon: they were Navy. Then he had another seizure, and spent the next several days under Jahir's psychic care while the commandeered, damaged Chatcaavan ship made its slow way toward the Alliance. Eventually, they were rescued by the '' [[List of Minor or Background Characters\|UAV Starsight]]'', and Lisinthir was rushed to Fleet Central's hospital. His body violently rejected his own blood, cloned and filtered, but accepted transfusions from Jahir, and thus he was healed to begin his next task: convincing the Alliance to his Emperor's side in the imminent war.

	===Events of ''Amulet Rampant''===		==== Events of ''Amulet Rampant'' ====
	Lisinthir found himself with several weeks free before his promised ride to the border was available, so he invited Jahir to [[Starbase Alpha]] for their promised tryst. On their very first night, they discovered that Lisinthir could control another's body with his thoughts, and that Jahir could project his own thoughts and emotions into another's mind: they were mind-mages. Thus they spent their time together exploring minds as well as bodies, with excursions on the starbase to test their new abilities: riding [[Maven Herd \| solidigraphic horses]], dancing at nightclubs, sparring in a salle, exploring a concert hall and then attending a concert in it. Lisinthir tested his Fleet-issued [[Dominoes and Roquelaures \| roquelaure]] on Jahir, and they discovered that that bit of nanotech could not tell the two Eldritch apart. The cousins trained each other, loved each other, and healed each other, until Lisinthir was called back early to meet his Fleet ride. He gave Jahir a [[Amulet Rampant (Jewelry) \| secret rampant]] before they parted. Then Lisinthir went to join Fleet Intelligence's [[Hold#Hold 22\|Hold 22]] -- along with their loaner, [[Laniis Baker]] -- on the [[UAV Silhouette]].

	Lisinthir went with Laniis and Hold 22 to [[Sharsenne]], where the Chatcaavan harem was arriving, and where he met his cousins [[Sediryl]] and [[Amber Seni Galare]]. He and Sediryl offended Amber by sending him to shepherd refugees instead of allowing his uncontrolled anger and ignorance anywhere near the Chatcaavan border. Sediryl he sent ahead to meet Jahir while he gathered everyone to go see what was going on in [[Apex-East System \| Apex-East]]. Unfortunately, pirates and then Chatcaava got to Jahir first, so Lisinthir ended up going to the Emperor's rescue without his cousins.

	As the ''Silhouette'' snuck its slow way out of the Apex-East system and then headed for the [[Source]], Lisinthir sent a message to Deputy-East, asking him to spy for the Emperor's cause.

The Emperor took a few days from the military preparations to take Lisinthir and some others to the temple on the homeworld, where they learned many things about the Change and the history of the Chatcaava.

Then he stayed to be Jahir's minder as his cousin kept vigil at Sediryl's bedside.

	Lisinthir found himself with several weeks free before his promised ride to the border was available, so he invited Jahir to [[Starbase Alpha]] for their promised tryst. On their very first night, they discovered that Lisinthir could control another's body with his thoughts, and that Jahir could project his own thoughts and emotions into another's mind: they were mind-mages. Thus they spent their time together exploring minds as well as bodies, with excursions on the starbase to test their new abilities: riding [[Maven Herd \| solidigraphic horses]], dancing at nightclubs, sparring in a salle, exploring a concert hall and then attending a concert in it. Lisinthir tested his Fleet-issued [[Dominoes and Roquelaures \| roquelaure]] on Jahir, and they discovered that that bit of nanotech could not tell the two Eldritch apart. The cousins trained each other, loved each other, and healed each other, until Lisinthir was called back early to meet his Fleet ride. He gave Jahir a [[Amulet Rampant (Jewelry) \| secret rampant]] before they parted.
