Edmond Croal

Edmond Croal Altinestran

First called "Edmond" by the omniscient narrator in 2.II.28.

By the omniscient narrator rendering Jamie's thoughts in 2.II.29, 30, and 32. (Called "Edwin" twice by Prince Alexander in 30 and once by Damian in 32.) And by an unnamed character in 2.I6G.

And then there's this:

"... under the purview of Edwin Croal and after he left Gold Glass, no one could successfully follow his experiments and the work was discontinued.”

“Although I think someone in this room may already know about such things,” Perkinjius added.

Jamie sat silently and stared at the large man.

“As far as we know only two Icarians were created who possess some of these abilities – one at Gold Glass, and the other in the secret laboratory of Edmond Croal at Isewier..." 2.II.32. 14743, 15067-15070.

Scientist. Creator and "father" of Loran, Jamie, and Charlie.
