Alahni, a native of the hidden world of Jardine, lived in a tribal community of "Waywards" - the Shrouded Forest tribe - in the Forest of Shrouds outside Hope, the only city on the planet.
Appearance[edit]
As of 3067 she was described as a young woman (Brooklyn Stevens assessed her to be no older than 19 or 20), and was the Keeper of Tales for her tribe. She was tasked with informing Dr. Stevens about the history of Jardine and its inhabitants.[1]
She had rich, straight raven-black hair, brown eyes, a heart-shaped face, and a notably regal posture.[1]
Personal History[edit]
When Apollyon ordered the offworlders (Stevens and Tibor Mitternacht) be apprehended at all costs and the Waywards punished or killed, Alahni was ordered to guide Stevens and Mitternacht into the city of Hope. They escaped while the Shrouded Forest tribe was summarily slaughtered. The trio would sneak onto the DropShip Agravain as stowaways and attempt to seize control of the vessel once it had launched from Jardine. In the process, the entire crew was killed (save for up to three who may or may not have escaped) and the ship was wrecked. Mitternacht managed to rig an aerospace fighter to carry him, Stevens and Alahni away from the stricken ship and rendezvous with their JumpShip, the Sacajawea.[2]
Stevens brought Alahni to the debriefing with her Interstellar Expeditions employers on 12 December 3067, as living proof that she had indeed found Jardine. By this time, she had grown protective of her, and when Dr. Henry J. Croft demanded Alahni be handed over as the contract was for "Jardine and all evidence of its existence" she adamantly refused, pointing out that Alahni was not property.[3]
