Benden Weyr Harper Hall

C'gan was a dragonrider at Benden Weyr late in the Eighth Interval and early in the Ninth Pass. He served as the Weyr's Weyrsinger. His dragon was blue Tagath.

 Biography[]

C'gan was a blue rider who performed harper duties at Benden Weyr. Early in his career, he received additional training from MasterSinger Merelan, who was fulfilling a contract at Benden Hold. At the end of Merelan's one year term, Falloner assisted C'gan.

C'gan attended a hatching at Benden Weyr, working with Robinton to provide entertainment after the hatching. The hatching became marred with tragedy when it was discovered that S'loner and Lord Maidir had died while attempting to travel to Benden Hold. C'gan later took Robinton and Raid back to Benden Hold.

Years later, C'gan often helped transport Robinton, at F'lon's request. One winter, C'gan and Robinton came to a hatching at Benden Weyr, where they witnessed both of F'lon's sons Impress, despite the fact that C'gan felt that Famanoran, the younger son, was too young. C'gan then attended a gather at Telgar Hold. After F'lon was killed in a fight with Gifflen, one of Fax's captains, C'gan arrived in the company of several other riders. C'gan attempted to take the man responsible into custody. When the man attempted to escape, he was killed by Kinsale.

C'gan was later present as part of F'lar's wing after Fax was killed at Ruatha Hold by F'lar in a deadly knife battle.

In the years after F'lon's death, C'gan often visited Robinton at Harper Hall, lamenting the Weyr's status and occasionally bringing toys for Robinton's son Camo. Eventually, C'gan became the Weyrlingmaster. When Thread fell for the first time in 400 years, C'gan assembled the Weyrlings to assist as messengers. On short notice, he and Tagath took firestone to F'nor at Keroon. However, while there, both were badly Threadscored. C'gan and Tagath barely made it back to Benden Weyr before C'gan died, lamenting in his final moments that his age made it difficult for him to fight Thread.
