Faltan of the Throne of Light: "Among those that accompanied Afras on the first venture into the Innerspace was Faltan and his life-companion, Rafta. They used to rule a great star group in the old empire, and they have sworn their swords to the cause of the Empress, no matter what it might be. For their faithful service, she has rewarded them with this opportunity, on Afras' personal recommendation. Though the first expedition was relatively calm, thanks to Afras' wit and conservative nature, Faltan still found a way to distinguish himself - he saved the life of the Overseer when he almost stepped into a well of quicktime on accident, unaware of its nature."
