Wingrider P'llayrus of brown Timnith

Poll was born in a minor hold, and had a rather uneventful life up until apprenticeship. He was teased often by the other children, as he was smaller than average and had poor vision.

When he was twelve, he apprenticed to the harpercraft and it was discovered he had a talent for writing and copying. He could decihper the most faded hides, and make sense of tattered parchments. He could copy anything over from memory with astoundign accuracy. He was considered a prize apprentice, and spent almost all of the day in the records rooms, dechipering, copying and re-copying. He labored on, despite a severe dust allergy and slightly weak eyesight. He was rasied to level of Journeyman at the age of seventeen, though the promotion was overlooked by most. It was not unusual to find him sleeping in the records rooms, his head down on whatever he had been working on, a quill still in his hand. He took his meals in the records rooms, and knew that room better than his own. He had no friends in the Harper Hall, but that didn't exactly matter to him. He was concerned only with the old records, and piecing together bits of history. Whenever he did come in contact with another person, he tended to launch into an explanation of whatever he had been copying last. He had an amazing memory, and could rattle off nearly anything he had copied.

The last thing he ever expected was to be Searched, and was certain Searchrider Dreya had made a mistake when she found him on one of his few excursions from the records room. But he was plucked out of the Hall, and flown strait to Inlet Cove. He soon became adjusted, and was overjoyed at a chance to live history! He recorded everything, filling journal after journal with events that occured at the weyr. He recorded the Hatching, and devoted an entire journal to his Impression of Timnith. It was the same with Weyrling training. He recorded everything that happened, and was never without a few journals and charoal sticks. He tutored his fellow weyrling Rowena, and was always more then happy to lend a hand. His physical condition improved greatly, as did his social skills. He has no ambition aboev wingrider, and is content to fight Thread, care for Timnith, and record the history of Inlet Cove Weyr as it happens.
