Wingleader   R'mal	M, H=blonde, E=blue, HT=6'2".  The best way to describe R'mal is to say the gentleman is always a lady.  Strictly homosexual and extremely effeminate, good manners and courtesy are very important to him.  An excellent administrator, he leads a tight Wing and is very fond of his wingriders, but has little desire to be Weyrleader as he gets too emotionally involved.  Half-brother of Lord Janol of Sunstone.  Rider of bronze Udoth. (Persona of Ron Swartzendruber / morgav@kadanzer.org) (R'mal transferred in from Landing Weyr after the Poisoning at Kadanzer, which had killed Flamewind's Wingleader J'riel among so many others.  R'mal took his place and has served there ever since, except during a brief period when he returned to Landing to weyrmate with his then-lover, K'havalier.  K'havalier died in Threadfall shortly afterwards, though, and R'mal returned to Kadanzer and FlameWind.)
