Personal Info:

Kanwar and his friend Tyvek stay in Trailingstar for several years while their friend Sudu is studying astral projection with Piet.

Brooding.  Byronic.  A brilliant military strategist who finds no real outlet for his talents in the formalized dueling structures of the Reach, though he first began studying both weaponry and strategy as a way of making a place for himself and earning his fellow Reachers' respect despite his lack of shaping powers.  Has no particular desire for power as such, but finds something compelling in the =art= of war.  Can be sneaky, but won't be treacherous; considers that cheating and therefore  beneath him.  Has a touchy pride and an uncertain temper.

His poetry tends to be either love lyrics or nature poetry; it's a release for him.  A fierce, possessive, but tender lover.
