Weyrmate: Anaela Hateakva of Gold Hasepsath (35)
Family:
Brother: Z’kul Vitarias of Brown Hellenith (38)

Appearance: Z’der keeps himself neat and tidy. However, he’s not one for wearing expensive clothing, preferring to wear clothing that is comfortable and functional. He has very dark brown hair, which he wears cut short, though he has a moustache and a small amount of beard growth. His skin is a light tan-gold, and his eyes match the color of his hair. He’s not particularly tall, though he’s not short either. He stands a comfortable 5’11”.
Personality: Z’der is by nature a calm man, one who doesn’t get overly excited by much of anything. It is really hard to get under his skin, he has the sort of almost serene confidence that doesn’t shake easily, which in turn enables him to deal well with criticism or even out and out insults and attacks. He has a sense of humor, and he’s not afraid to use it, but he does know how to be serious.
History: Z’der was born in Telgar Weyr, the child of brown rider and a green rider. He grew up in the Weyr crèche and started standing for Hatchings when he was 14 Turns old, at which point he obtained a small, playful Purple firelizard. For Four Turns he was passed over, as dragons chose his friends and even his brother (who Impressed a when he was 14 and Z’der was 17), but then not long after he turned 18 he Impressed to a glorious Bronze by the name of Bucephaluth. They graduated from Weyrlinghood just in time to see the final three and a half Turns of Thread from the 11th Pass, though Z’der was not a Wingleader until a couple Turns into the Interval.
Two Turns later, when Z’der was 27, he took the Wing out to investigate a firelizard’s somewhat garbled report of a fire. It was high summer, and when they arrived everything was already on fire. A group of people were running away, casting down torches as they went. Z’der and most of the Wing focused on chasing the fleeing men, who were clearly the perpetrators, but Z’kul doubled off in another direction and landed near the fire, claiming to have seen a young boy running and carrying another child.
By the time Z’der and the rest of the Wing had returned to the Weyr, after dragging those they could catch back to the Hold to face justice, Z’kul was waiting for them, with the information that both the boy and his sister would survive, though no others could possibly have even still been alive by the time the riders arrived.
Not long after that, Bucephaluth caught Gold Hasepsath in the first Flight after the Senior pair retired, making them the new leadership pair.
The two brothers ended up essentially adopting the boy, one Tavakar, though he was officially the foster-child of the Headwoman. Z’der was as proud the day that boy Impressed an RR Flame as if it had been a child of his own body who had done so, and he was both relieved and pleased with how well the young man handled the balancing act between sister and dragonet. Relieved that nothing happened to the girl when she stumbled out onto the Sands, and pleased that T’kar had stayed calm.
Z’der continued as the Weyrleader of Telgar, though he did occasionally wish (quietly) that the Senior Weyrwoman was someone other than Anaela Hateakva, whose temper could have disastrous effects.
Adoption?: If you want
Dragon’s Name: Bucephaluth
Dragon’s Gender: Male
Dragon’s Age: 23
Dragon’s Color: Bronze
Dragon’s Appearance: Bucephaluth is about average size for a bronze, coming in at roughly 38 feet from point of chest to point of rump. He is a rich, deep golden bronze, fading from a lighter, more golden color on his wing-tips, nose, and tail to a deep almost true bronze on his body.
Dragon’s Personality: Bucephaluth is dignified and has a deliberate air about him. He doesn’t tend to speak much, being more the “strong and silent” type. He has a well-honed sense of duty and responsibility, and can be rather protective of those he is close to.
Dragon’s History: Bucephaluth was towards the middle of his class as a Weyrling. He was by no means astonishingly bad, but his primary skill lay in recognizing and validating the skills of others. Indeed, some of the more well-established Bronzes did not expect him to be a serious contender for Hasepsath’s Flight. After all, Hasepsath had flown before, and Bucephaluth had failed to catch her at the time. They were in for a surprise though, and Bucephaluth has managed to continue winning.
