Lorton

Lorton was a Karagulan. An orphan and brother to Bethin he had run away when his grandfather was locked up by the Karagulans because he alone (because of his lack of smell), saw the Dreamspinner for what she really was. Having contracted Sun Fever he was unable to walk away with the other children when the Dreamspinner came to collect. He bravely followed the Doctor to the Darksmiths' Dark Cathedral, fought off an attack by a Rock spool with his float-stone sling and helped rescue the Doctor, his sister and return the children to their families.
