Pressen was one of two journeyman healers assigned to High Reaches Weyr during the Sixth Pass after their healers had died.
After Falga and her queen dragon Tamianth were injured during threadfall, Pressen was assigned to assist Moreta with the surgical repair of Tamianth's wing. Before the procedure, both Pressen and Diona, the other healer, didn't immediately understand that Falga's repeated requests for water were for her queen Tamianth and not for her. During the procedure, Pressen learned how to draw ichor and where to put it, but not when.
Appearance, personality and traits[]
Pressen spent his free time badgering Falga about dragon cures because, until he was assigned to treat dragon injuries, he had never really considered that dragons got injured by Thread.
