Zi Ongola was one of the leading officials in the initial Pernese settlement of Landing. He served variously as a lieutenant commander, colonist, and meteorologist.
Biography[]
He understood Dolphin, but was afraid of the water pressure endured by Dolphineers in the ocean, and did not become one. He impressed a gold fire-lizard, Fancy, who did her best to protect the family immediately prior to the First Fall at Landing.
He married Sabra Stein. They had two children: Shuvin, and one unnamed child.
He was severely injured by Avril Bitra when she made her escape in the Admiral's gig, but escaped death, unlike Kenjo Fusaiyuki.
After the Second Crossing, he handled communication and meteorology at Fort Hold. During the First Pass he and another left Fort to find a hold on the western peninsula. This would later come to be known as Tillek Hold, in honor of Jim Tillek.
Personality and traits[]
He had a sad bass voice, and lost his original family before coming to Pern. He had dark skin and a heavy head with deep set eyes. He was also known for discretion.
