Bio
Ezra Keroon was instrumental in protecting the building that housed AIVAS with shuttle tiles found by Joel Lilienkamp. This action protected the facility from the eruption of Mount Garben 8 years after Landing and ensured the survival of AIVAS into the Ninth Pass. In fact, Ezra was somewhat obsessed with keeping AIVAS intact and while dying of the unknown disease that racked Fort Hold during the "Fever Year" and also claimed the life of Emily Boll, he sent Sean Connell back to Landing to check on the computer.
He was mentioned as having annotated an AIVAS report on the possibility of a collision between the Red Star and Pern. By the end of the First Interval, exhaustive reports on the Red Star, done by captains Keroon and Jim Tillek, were still very much in use.
