Tommer

Tommer is a member of the ville solant traveling theater company Chalice Moon. He is an acrobat, stuntman, jester, and mock fighter. Although he is a pale-skinned Jeceau, his entire torso from neck to waist is covered in Tazitan-style black ink tattoos. Notably, he cannot dance, sing, or play an instrument.

Tommer was not raised in the ville solant and is not a true member of the Guild. He and Lorrick were sneakthieves hiding from Lord Grenthorne Golumiere's constables in Cruseau-on-Jeverre when the two young men were rescued by Benereau Vichesne and added to the undermanned Chalice Moon. Their lack of ville solant training is a secret within the company.

When the Chalice Moon stops to spend the night in towns and villages, Tommer and Lorrick often disappear for the evening -- ostensibly to burglarize the town. They always return by morning.

Tommer has an ambiguously romantic relationship with Vayle.

In Book 1, when Benereau is injured, Tommer briefly takes command of the Chalice Moon -- not because of seniority or rank, but rather because he volunteers for the job.
