Name: Zegger
Rank:SR Journeyman Dragonhealer
Age: 56
Brief Description of Persona:
Zegger is a spy old man. He has tufts of silver hair across the sides and back of his head, but the top is bald and as weather-beaten and tanned as the rest of him. He has odd greenish-yellow eyes, and many of the weyr children fear him because of it. Short and bowed with early arthritis, Zegger is only 5’4", but a healthy 150 pounds. He has a gruff voice and doesn’t mind raising it.
Zegger has a tough outter shell, but he has a remarkably soft spot for dragons and flits. Their riders? He doesn’t care much for the "arrogance" and "pig-headedness" of "most of those wherry-heads." Also, he hates children. They get on his nerves almost as much as dragonriders, and he can’t stand them. He is a horrible people-person, and doesn’t mind the fact that he has no friends. Yet his gruff manner gets him the respect he wants. And if it doesn’t…
Brief Description of History:
Born in Sandstone River Hold, he was apprenticed at twelve turns to the healer hall. Even as a child, he scorned the thought of having friends. As he grew older and attained journeyman rank, he found it exceedingly hard to deal with the people brought to him. He was deft and precise with his work, but people often left complaining about his attitude.
Aside from people, Zegger also dealt with the Hall’s flits and other creatures. He spent hours upon hours researching and studying the little creatures, as well as their bigger cousins. While he was surly with people, he was amazingly gentle with the flits. As his behavior grew worse with his human patients, the master decided to send Zegger to Coral Reef as a dragonhealer, hoping that the man might be more use there.
Zegger’s research knowledge didn’t prepare him at all for the flood of hands-on training he received at the Weyr, but as the need presented itself, he quickly grew adapt. Soon, he was training, against his will and others’ better judgement, apprentices in his trade. Although they all loathe him, as most people do, he was a good teacher, and highly respected. When Hidden Falls Weyrhold was opened, he immediately applied for the position of dragonhealer. There were already quite a few dragonhealers at Coral Reef, and Zegger wanted to relax, so he transferred.
