Cynder is a professor and a linguist from Darkside. He wears blue in Volume 1.

Personality and Appearance

Cynder has dark skin and a balding head. He wears a blue cloak over a vest and tie. He frequently squabbles with Jon Acron over inconsequential matters.

History

“But this isn’t Darkside, Jon. It’s a new culture, one in the process of blending. I wouldn’t be surprised to find a contact language developing--a pidgin between Dynastic and Lossandin.”

—Cynder

Professor Cynder traveled with Khrissalla, Baon, and Jon Acron to visit Dayside. When passing through Ker Kedasha he was barely able to understand some of a speech delivered by the A'Kar.

After losing their guide and running out of water, Cynder and Baon found Kenton and helped revive him. When Kenton and the travelling party are ambushed by Kerztian warriors on their way to Kezare, Cynder was shot in the arm by a zinkall arrow.

Upon the group's discovery of Lonzare, Cynder is thrilled by the mixing of Darkside and Lossandin culture. He suspects that a pidgin between Dynastic and Lossandin may be developing among the people living there.

The lock on Cynder's luggage malfunctioned and was repaired by Khriss as she sought meetings with the Taishin.

Trivia

Cynder and Jon Acron's speech bubbles are occasionally misattributed--particularly when they converse with one another. Noting the clothing of the speaker and context of the quote is required to catch these mistakes.
