Tirone was Masterharper at Harper Hall late in the Sixth Pass.
Biography[]
As a Journeyman, he taught Nerilka and her brothers and sisters at Fort Hold.
During the feline-caused flu plague, Tirone asked Nerilka why Tolocamp had set up guards to prevent people from entering or leaving Fort Hold and what she knew about the internment camp for healer or harper trying to contact his Hall, that Tolocamp had also ordered.
When Masterhealer Capiam and Tirone called for an interview with Tolocamp, the interview did not go well, the end result being that Capiam withdrew his healers from the Hold. Even though Capiam told Tirone that he must stay in the hall with his people, Tirone declared that he would remove his Craftspeople from the Hold on his way out. Since Nerilka had overheard what happened and decided that she wanted to leave as well, she gave the storeroom keys (which her mother had given to her on her sixteenth birthday) to Capiam, under the condition she be allowed to leave the Hold in their company and work with the sick wherever she was needed.
Personality and Traits[]
Since Tirone was a mediator he was not popular with everyone. Nerilka had heard it said by the disaffected that the only time Tirone lost a mediation was when he was suffering from laryngitis; otherwise, he would talk his opponents into surrendering to his decisions.
He composed "The Ballad of Moreta's Ride".
