Fan Casting Dain Aetos in Fourth Wing

Dain Aetos is the rider of the dragon Cath. He is Violet Sorrengail's childhood best friend. (Dragon:) A red swordtail dragon named, Cath (Signets:) Imbuing & Retrocognition. A process of leaving a rider's power in stasis within an object, not a skill that many riders have as it only comes naturally to a handful of signets. The ability to read and feel someone's memories using touch, he can search someone's memories and narrow down his search by focusing on certain words. Due to the fact that it's limited to touch he's not considered a security risk, unlike inntinnsics.(Features:) Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Age: 21 (Physical Description:) Dain is tall, having grown even more since the summer prior to the events of Fourth Wing. According to Violet he's become broader and more muscular, with strong, calloused hands, and sports a new trimmed beard that cuts across his jaw and brackets his full lips. When he turns his head there's a scar that peaks out from his beard along his chin. With tan skin, striking, soft, sandy-brown eyes that are hard set, and close-cropped light-brown curls, Violet notes that Dain went from cute to gorgeous. When he laughs every part of his body joins in. As a Squad Leader, Dain often has a stern facial expression, though Violet notes that prior to becoming a rider he was funny and always grinning. Dain is usually seen wearing his pristine black uniform. (Personality:) As a child, Dain was less rule-abiding than he is at Basgiath. Since becoming a rider, he has become incredibly familiar with, and interested in, the Codex. According to Violet, he cares about every rule. Dain is caring and often extremely overprotective of Violet. He likes order and detests anything that doesn't fit neatly into his plan. Dain has an authoritative personality, highlighted by his strict leadership dynamic.(Romantic Interest(s):) Violet Sorrengail (childhood best friend), Amber Mavis (implied former relationship), Sloane Mairi (love interest)
