Apparently a Dragon, and a career soldier in Kana's army. Is this possibly the same Dortmund as we meet in Cropper Company during /Dragon/? Both are career military Dragonlords of low rank. Both have a significant interest in the ladies. It seems quite possible to me that this could be one character. To the left, of course, Dortmund might be as common a name among Dragons as Tem is among Teckla, and certainly an interest in the ladies is something that all career soldiers are likely to have to a greater or lesser degree (the male ones, anyway). Also, the Dortmund of Cropper Company doesn't seem like the type to buck for corporal--but this might be due to some earlier life experience (like a humiliation encountered while serving in Kana's army, maybe?). This one seems like it would be pretty Cool. Majikjon
