Description of Persona: Kerrich is a bit old-fashioned when it comes to his opinions on women and girls--he thinks they belong near the hearth and home, not apprenticing and dragonriding--but he also knows that he has to keep that opinion to himself if he wants to succeed at his job. He suffers extreme guilt trips for his past mistakes, but is quick to hide it when someone tries to pry. The Master Harper has dark hair and blue eyes. He's 6' even and has yet to go grow a paunch.

Brief History of Persona: Kerrich was raised on a cothold by a strict disciplinarian father and a soft-spoken mother. He knew early on in life that he wasn't cut out to be a holder, so he was thrilled when his harper teacher thought he had enough talent to become an apprentice at age twelve. He walked the tables at eighteen. At twenty-three, Kerrich married a girl from one of the cotholds he was teaching at. Their daughter was born two turns later. About fifteen turns after the birth of his daughter, after he had attained his mastery, Kerrich woke up one morning, packed his bags, emptied half a sack of marks, and left the cottage his family was staying at. He never once looked back or tried to find out what happened to his wife and daughter. Kerrich spent a few turns doing whatever he wanted, going wherever he fancied. He married again, this time one of his friends' childless widow. It was only when they had a daughter together that he began to regret abandoning his first family. However, there was nothing he could do about it. In m1 of Turn 25, Silver Ridge Weyrhold was in need of a Weyrholdharper. Since he was teaching near there already, the Harper Hall assigned him to the weyrhold.
