Weyrleaders Second M'bren

Malbren was the son of two farmcrafters, their only son. His father took a personal interest in him, and handled his apprenticeship himself. Malbren was Searched to Igen when he was nineteen, after just recieving his journeymans knots. His father was dissipointed, but wouldn't dream of denying dragonriders. He Impressed brown Douth on his first try, and was overjoyed at the bonding.

M'bren adjusted well to weyrlife, liking its structure. He never had a problem, and stuck to the rules religiously. Even after he graduated, he didn't drink or pursue women. He kept both himself and his dragon in the best shape possible, and repeated drills time and time again. He became almost obsessive about it.

Igen was proud, but the Wyerleaders worried if perhaps he was pushing himself too far. When they founf themselves in need of a weyrling master, the imediately thought of M'bren. With his love of structure and his no nonsence attitude, weyrlingmaster would be a perfect position for him...

They were right. M'bren slipped into the position easily, and welcomed the challenge it offered. Then, after five months of the position, Douth flew the WW2nds gold. Havning no choice, he stepped up to the position of Weyrleader 2nd. A replacement was found and life went on. Then, when the gold rose again, Douth failed. M'bren found himself with no position, and little love of his current weyr. He immediatly tranfsered, beleiving it better to be a simple rider where he had never held positions of power.

Stern, but fair. M'bren beleives strongly in disipline, and abhors coddling. He has a certain soft spot for those first out of the hold or hall, but not for long. He beleives that everyone has the ability to adjust, and none deserves special treatment. He does understand that circumstances occur over which no one has control, but he will not tolerate excuses. He is not as hard as he appears, but refuses to alow himself to be seen as 'soft.'
