Humans

For ease of navigating this index, use the alphabet above to take you to the relevant section.

Characters are listed in alphabetical order by surname if it is known, first name if not or if they don't have a surname, like the 'Dinis. As the spelling of some characters has changed between books, I've tried to follow the first appearance, while mentioning the second; Greevy, Alison Anne: alt. sp. Alison Ann (TTatH).

B

Baldwin: (LP, TTatH) Xenophobic Commander of Phobos Moon Base. One of the leaders of the Hiver Annihilationists who supported wiping out the Hivers completely. He also opposed the Human-Mrdini Alliance, and didn't like Talents [probably because he himself didn't have any].

Bardy: (TR) Lusena's daughter and the Rowan's foster-sister. A generous person, she never bore the Rowan any grudges for taking up so much of her mother's time. Husband Jedder Haley. After Lusena's death, she gave birth to twin girls, one of whom resembled her grandmother.

Bastianmajani, Flavia: (LP, TTatH) T-1, native planet Altair. Granddaughter [TTatH claims daughter] of Bastian and Maharanjani.

Was sent to Clarf (as a potential partner for Laria) but Laria rejected him because of his bad attitude and generally repellent personality. Yoshuk called him Grian and agreed with Laria's assessment even as Vagrian's his own brother. Clarissia Negeva tried to recruit him to her schemes, but failed. He got sent to Aurigae to adjust. Damia claimed he felt like Sodan come back to haunt her. The adjustment worked. During Laria and Kincaid's stay on Aurigae, he went to Blundell to help with the investigations of the attack instigated by Clarissia and to prove his innocence. Soon after, he got posted to his own Tower at a new colony, Iwojima.

Later, indulged in 'Dini-induced passion with Laria, which, much to their surprise, led into a loving relationship, with Laria getting pregnant with a Talented child.

Lyon, Zara: (DC, LP, TTatH) Damia and Afra's fourth child. Nickname Zar. T-1.

Aboard the Columbia as Flavia's supporting Prime, although she refused to teleport explosives. This situation led to Zara being transferred to do research to try to contain the Hivers on the planets they already colonized.

When Laria and Kincaid's 'Dinis were seriously hurt at the Clarf main hibernatory disaster, Zara became the first human to be allowed entrance to a 'Dini hibernatory.

Raven, Cera: (D, DC, LP, TTatH) T-1. Jeff and the Rowan's second child. Married name Raven-Hilk. Husband unnamed. [Spelled as "Ceran" once in LP, a typo.] Had 3 talented children, ratings unknown.

Children Laria, (Is)Thian, Rojer, Zara, Morag, Kaltia, Ewain and Petra. Before settling down with Afra, Damia had an eventful childhood. Living in Callisto dome she got into dangerous situations, falling into the pool, nearly transporting to another planet on a freighter, etc. Her situation wasn't helped by Jeran and Cera who excluded her from their games. When the Rowan had trouble with her fourth pregnancy, the children went to Deneb where Isthia took care of them, and they helped develop Talent on Deneb. When he was old enough, Larak joined them. As an adolescent she had a crush on Afra (24 years her senior) and when he turned her down she inadvertently injured her first lover Amr Tusel who couldn't handle the psionic overload. As a young Prime on Aurigae, she encountered Sodan in outer space and became infatuated with her conception of him, a malevolent entity who wished Humans no good. When she finally saw him for what he was, the Talents went into action and killed the entity who was only a mind. The action killed Larak and seriously injured Afra. Recuperating on Deneb they became a couple, and among the first humans to experience 'Dini dreams.

Raven, Isthia: (TR, D, DC, LP) Untrained Denebian Talent (at least telepath, kinetic and precog). Jeff's mother. With training she could've been Deneb's Prime. Focus mind of the merge that brought the Rowan to Deneb after Jeff's injury. Fostered her grandchildren Jeran, Cera and Damia (and Larak, later) after Damia's precociousness and expecting Larak became too much for the Rowan. After the Sodan incident Damia and Afra recuperated and fell in love at Isthia's cabin. When Rojer's 'Dinis died on the line he lived at Isthia's cabin to help him recover.
Raven, Jeff: (series) T-1, first Prime not trained by Siglen. Callisto Prime while the Rowan was on Altair, Earth Prime after Reidinger. Native planet Deneb.

Children: Jeran, Cera, Damia, Larak and Ezro Gwyn-Raven (or Raven). Led the Male Merge to defeat the first Hiver Sphere to attack a Human colony. Was able to project his voice to sound through the mouth of others, as he did to Barry orbiting Xh-33 in the Asimov [Other talents, including his grandchildren, seemingly had to repeat what the other end said in their own voices].
Raven, Jenna: (D) Larak's wife. Had one child, Grayhan, and was pregnant with a second, when Larak was killed. [Presumably she miscarried, as TTatH is unequivocal about Larak having only one child.]
