Biography
Vasiht’h (now Seni Galare), a Glaseah and thus an esper, is the mindbonded partner and beloved of Jahir Seni Galare. Born on Ansealah to Mareveh, a professor, and Petaq, a chemist, he was in his second year of Seersana University’s xenopsychology program when he met Jahir at the beginning of the latter’s first year in the same program. Their meeting occurred in a hospital parking lot where Vasiht’h was playing with six little girls who had slipped their caretakers at All Children’s Hospital. After Jahir joined in, the children extracted their promise to visit, and the friendship commenced. Upon hearing that Jahir had not yet secured suitable rooms, Vasiht’h, whose roommate Cadia had graduated, suggested Jahir share the two-bedroom apartment with him, to which Jahir agreed.
A mix of Glaseahn pragmatism and personal anxiety, coupled with a sincere devotion to the Goddess Aksivaht’h, Vasiht’h struggled with deciding which track of xenopsychology to focus on, wavering between clinical and research. He often confided in his closest sibling, his younger sister Sevhi. As he and Jahir found their friendship deepening through shared studies, volunteering with the little girls – Nieve, Kayla and Meekie (Tam-ilee); Amaranth and Persy (human) and Kuriel (Seersa), evening dinners with their quadmates – Merishiinal (Ciracaana) and Leina (Seersa); Brett (Seersa) and Lucrezia (Harat-Shar), Vasiht’h feared he was unsuitable to be a clinician because he isn’t sure he can maintain emotional distance from his clients.

Vasiht’h arrived on Selnor unannounced; upon his and Jahir’s first sight of one another, their unspoken avowal permanently fused their mindline.

Family
11 siblings, plus parents Marevhe, professor and Petaq, chemist
Lots and lots of extended family, moved to their own page because it has relevant to more than one major character: Vasiht'h's Family
Children
When Vasiht'h first applied to the Temple for his children, he was 29th in line for a surrogate. [3] We also learn in the same chapter that he was younger than his parents when he made the initial request. The events of the Chatcaavan war caused him to miss his turn, and when he and Jahir settled on Escutcheon, he learned it would be about a year and a half before he could expect the Temple to have children for him. However, not long after Jahir's investiture as Prince Consort, the Temple notified Vasiht'h that his children were ready for pick-up (""Oh, Goddess, that sounds ridiculous. Like they're some kind of take-out meal I ordered."). The two of them, along with Vasiht'h's Aunt Drusti, Cousin Josti and Cousin Viht'hi, traveled to Ansealah to get three kits, the number selected by the Temple. (Heartskein, Ch. 4.) The kits are born before either Jahir's and Sediryl's twins or Lisinthir's and the Queen Ransomed's twins.
On the return trip, and with Jahir's help, Vasiht chooses as names words that reflect Eldritch virtues and can also be shortened to sound like Glaseahn names. (Heartskein, Ch. 9) They decide on:
Aevanauv, a son whose name means "Faith." He is called Evan. Efeanoc, a son whose name means "Strength." He is called Anoc. Ithauvni, a daughter whose name means "Fearlessness." She is called Thauvi.
Vasiht'h considers Jahir also to be a parent to the kits. The kits are formally presented to Queen Liolesa (Heartskein, Ch. 13). At the Glaseahn presentation ceremony, together Vasiht'h and Jahir perform the traditional rhythmic pattern dance to welcome the kits and honor the Goddess. (Heartskein, Ch. 14).

"Sometimes when things change you, fixing them right away isn't the answer. Sometimes it's an opportunity." [4]
