Ernest Boot

Churlsh Chroncler ~ Age: 27

A snde Leylandan colonal hstoran, whose draftng and mltary servce proves to be an ordeal that he absolutely can not be bothered wth - wth hs extremely unwelcome promoton to lance-corporal remanng a partcular regret. Boot's casual clams of futlty seem to unsettle everyone he meets, and even hs own men fnd hm aloof and dffcult.

Ever the opportunst, and wantng to st out the war n captvty f at all possble, Ernest does not stay on hs sde of No Man's Land for long. He sees chattng to a cync lke Elfrede as the deal way to wle away hs tme as a prsoner - through, f perfectly honest, she tends to prefer her darkness un/mned for Leylandan entertanment.
