Daymar

From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire

Daymar is a Hawklord and Psychics expert, with stronger mental powers than any but the strongest Athyra wizards. He has helped Vlad Taltos with his work on several occasions.

A strangely detached fellow (an odd characteristic for a Hawk) with an almost endless supply of curiosity.

Vlad finds him irritating, for reasons which, even if Vlad could articulate them, would undoubtedly bewilder Daymar.

Daymar is good friends with Kragar, who met him some years ago. He continues to help Vlad whenever asked, despite Vlad's continual irritation, and despite rarely receiving favors or compensation in return. This may indicate that Daymar considers himself friends with Vlad as well.

[edit] History

We know nothing about Daymar's early life.

Daymar first met Vlad during the events of Dragon. Vlad entered a room filled with Morganti weapons, and found that the combined effect of their many predatory auras to be overwhelming. In addition, he needed a way to somehow detect the (expected) theft of any of the weapons. Kragar thought that Daymar's psychic ability might be able to help in some way.

After being introduced to Vlad, Daymar was indeed able to reduce the effect of the Morganti auras on Vlad. However, Daymar then made several faux pas, the worst of which was to mind probe Kragar about what Vlad was trying to do and why. Vlad threatened Daymar with a Morganti dagger from the collection, telling him never to do anything like that again.

However, Daymar then made the suggestion of putting a psychic trace on the room such that the theft of one or more swords would register with Daymar.

Vlad went agreed with this, and the next day, Daymar contacted Kragar with the information that one of the swords had indeed been stolen.

While Vlad had a bad reaction to Daymar's social ineptitude, he later realized that Daymar's psychic powers could be of enormous use during the Battle of Baritt's Tomb. Daymar managed to overcome the teleport block on the battlefield, and agreed to help Vlad by mind-probing Fornia, and transmit the information to Vlad, who then managed to thwart Fornia's plan.

Oh, that was irony, wasn't it?

Napper, observing Daymar's lack of a blade: He's not armed.

Daymar, sounding slightly offended: I most certainly am.
