Dath

First Appearance and Context

Dath is first seen during Tenth Night at the Concent of Saunt Edhar, near the close of Apert. He attends the communal supper under the canopy as a visitor alongside his cousin Cord and her boyfriend Rosk.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Visitor from outside the walls: Dath joins family at the closing-night meal, observing customs and talks.
• Earnest questioner: He asks straightforward questions about why maths exist and what would motivate someone to live in a tiny “pinprick” math, prompting a brief exchange with Fraa Orolo.
• Fair division by proof: When invited to cut a sheet cake, he follows step‑by‑step guidance to carry out a classic geometric fair‑division method, grasping that the reasoning applies beyond dessert.

Relationships

• Cord: Dath is her younger cousin and accompanies her during the opening.
• Rosk: Attends the supper with Cord and Dath; he and Dath both join a table conversation about models and minds.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Age: about fifteen.
• Appearance: Curly brown hair; past dents and scars from childhood mishaps are mostly hidden by his hair.
• Disposition: A “sweet, untroubled” presence who asks basic questions without embarrassment; observant and quick to engage.

Current Status/Location

Present among visitors at the Tenth Night supper within the concent; no further movements are noted. Earlier recollections describe him as the sort of youngster often rushed to Physicians' Commons for repair of injuries.
