Agat Alterra, Jakob

Jakob Agat Alterra was one of the leaders of the Terran colony Landin on Werel. Agat is his family name, Alterra is "what the far-born call their leaders". ("Al Terra", as in "from Earth", get it?) He fell in love with, and married, the hilf girl Rolery, not listening to the reasons against it: they were of different breed, incapable of having children (or so it seemed), and the Terrans and Tevarians were not always the best of friends.
