Physical Description : Zedaran is 43 years old, his hair is of browns and golds from the sun highlights and kept cropped short. He has dark brown eyes that are flecked with gold, and his complexion is dark from many hours out in the sun drawing or painting. He is 6'4" tall, and very muscular. His hands are strong and he has very long and nimble fingers which always seem to be moving with a piece of charcoal or a paint brush. His teeth are very white against his darkly tanned complexion, when he smiles.

Personality : He seems to have a way with everyone, with his soft spoken demeanor and slight drawl to his voice, but can be a task master if the occasion calls for it. He paints with ease and flourishes the paint brush with even strokes. His paintings seem to breathe when they are finished and he loves his work. He seems to be able to bring out the inner being in his portraits of people and how they really feel as well as look.

He can often times be found out of doors sketching plants and flowers and then he recreates them into glorious bouquets on his canvases. He is fluent in every medium of his craft but takes the greatest joy in working with a painter’s palate. Because of his love of botanical artwork, he recently requested a transfer into the Threads End Harper Hall for the chance to sketch and paint the glorious plants available in the southern continent.

As an instructor he is very patient with his students and allows them to find their own style and technique, usually when a budding artist is found he is at their side for extra lessons and answers. Yet none of his other students seem to feel slighted in the least.

Life Story : The youngest of four children, Zedaran spent his childhood in poverty. He was born and raised in a small runner cot on the edges of Fort Hold territory. His father, Zolapar, was an uneducated man who spent his life as a stable hand, barely supporting his wife and children. Edanal, his mother died in childbirth with Zedaran so he was raised by his father.

An artist by nature, he always had a bit of charcoal in his hands drawing on any surface that would allow it. Often he would draw just in the in the dirt with a sharp stick if nothing else was available. His father seeing the boys talent, arranged to have him apprenticed at Fort Harper Hall. Zedaran blossomed under the direction of his instructors and became quite skilled in very a short time. He was considered to be at the top of the class when it came to almost all of his studies. While his long fingers can pluck a guitar with great skill, art is his passion.
