History
Dorast was born of two very devoted parents. Devoted to the smithcraft anyway. He is an only child, his mother not wanting to waste valuable time raising any more children. He wasn't fostered out as is usually done, but had no real guidance or love from his parents. He learned at an early age to take care of himself. He tried to get his parents interest by learning the smith craft and because of that, grew up to be big, muscular and strong. Of course, he was predisposed to be that way, since his mother was 6' and his father, 6'3" and both built very solid. However, they still saw no value in him. Growing bitter at being ignored, he developed a mean streak and many were the victim of that streak. He has killed, mostly drudges which only fueled his hate.
At 16 and almost to his full height, he was searched. He tried for 6 hatchings before he was told by the Weyrleader that he was not acceptable to the dragons and he had to find something else to do at the weyr or move on. Not being accepted by dragonkind was the last straw. He left the weyr and wandered south, living off the land. When he reached the ocean, he worked his way onto a ship and landed on the southern continent. On the ship he had bumped into some men who were on their way west to work on carving out a new holding for a Lord Holder's son. They had told him the marks were good, and since Dorast needed to eat, he told them he was joining them. The men, not wanting to cross him, just by the look of him, agreed.
As he worked, he would watch and listen, looking for a better opportunity than rock labor. He overheard a man talking about a Boranis. Taking his chance, he questioned the man and was told where he could find this Boranis. The man turned out to be just such a man that Dorast could through his lot in with. He didn't like him, Dorast didn't "like" anybody, but he gave him his grudging respect, which was all Boranis would get. One night over too much wine, Dorast told Boranis his desire to get back at dragonkind. He hadn't told him detail, but had said he'd do just about anything to rid Pern of them all.
