Character · Book 7, This Inevitable Ruin

Tran

A tired human Swashbuckler with a metal-detecting ability in Gwen's team, who drags a cable to the drain wheel, opens the valve part way, asks Vadim if he owns a red shirt, dives to the Akula, is carried across the ocean floor, and goes down with Katia's new party.
