Weyr Archivist Gaellon

Back to Weyrfolk

Gaellon, male- 38

Gaellon is quiet, thoughtful, studious and brilliant. He also has an eidetic memory. Being a middle child, he learned early on that the best way to stay out of trouble is to be unnoticed. He is well liked by both colleagues and students, but does not make close friends easily, nor does he trust others easily. Both of these are partially due to having been picked upon by three older sibs. Gaellon is ideally suited to the work of an archivist as he enjoys the quiet solitude and intense concentration of the work. He is also able to use his eidetic memory to piece together long forgotten bits of information from widely scattered sources. It is this talent which he has utilized most throughout his career as an archivist. He is meticulous, not only in his work but in all aspects of his life. Gaellon's life has only three absolutes: one is M'zel, one is Tamma, and the last is the sense that everything must be in its proper place. His students quickly learn that replacing a tool in the exact spot from which it was retrieved is essential to working harmoniously with Master Gaellon. Gaellon's standards of work are rigorous; however, Gaellon is never harsh nor overly critical with his students. He corrects with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. Gaellon doesn't believe anything is accomplished by being loud, didactic or malicious. Gaellon is both liked and respected for his manner of handling others and for his skills as an archivist.
