Part 2: The Main Characters from the Beta-Earth Chronicles

Below is an annotated list that continues the introductions of the main characters in the Beta-Earth Chronicles, this time going over the characters introduced in books 2-4.

I must say, these are the books in the most need of your support. The Blind Alien remains the flagship book of the series, and the three ebooks described below have earned some very nice reviews at Amazon and Goodreads. Still, the readership isn’t nearly what I hoped for. At least, so far.

So, with any luck, these short ditties will whet your appetite to continue with the adventures of the Renbourn Tribe of Beta-Earth:

Introduced in book 2, The Blood of Balnakin:

Kalma Salk Renbourn. Birthed: 1695.34.3, Bergarten, Balnakin. Bonded to Renbourn tribe: Bergarten, Balnakin, 1730. Mother: Lius (son) 1733 (Island Bilan); Kalmeg (Four Corners, 1740).

Brown-skinned, gold-eyed Kalma was raised in a rich family that disapproved of blue-skin slavery in Balnakin. However, she was brought into the Renbourn tribe very much against her will. Her stubbornness melted when she accepted the reality she was prophesized to be the means for the healing between the Renbourns and the dark-skinned Balnakin people after the wrath following the Bergarten disaster. Her father, Lius Salk, became an important ally to her bond family. Trained in global commerce, she became the overseer of all Renbourn international accounts.

Oja Yenned Bolvair Renbourn (formerly the Dotesr Bolvair). Birthed: uncertain. Her personal history is very much a mystery and the subject of much speculation and investigation throughout the series.

While introduced in book 1 as marketing advisor to Joline Renbourn, Oja is bonded to Malcolm Renbourn legally in 1730 after the family is exiled to Kiript. As Oja is lesbian, she does not share a physical or loving relationship with Malcolm. At the time of their bonding, Oja thinks she is dying from the Body-That-Eats-Itself and wants to ensure her artificially-injected son, Pere, (born 1726) gains his true paternity and that her fortune will go to the family Oja has served so diligently. Her love remains with her longtime consort, the very timid Bli Swellard.

In book 3, Oja becomes one of the most notorious monsters in history when she deliberately infects the Prince of Alma with a fatal, sexually-transmitted disease before she drowns herself.

Introduced in book 3, When War Returns

Sasperia Thorwaife Renbourn, Ducai of Bercumel. Birth: 1715, Dellmire, Alma. Bonded to Renbourn Tribe in 1732 in an arranged marriage to give Malcolm a legitimate title, the Duce of Bilan, in the Alman Mentala. Mother: twin sons Gunmar and Malcolm Renbourn II, 1736, in captivity, Dellmire, Alma); Vlandrax (son, Dellmire, 1740)

Born to a mother with enhanced genetics, Sasperia’s metabolism gives her tremendous physical strength, superior memory, an overheated personality, and, at first, a resentment of mere mortals like the Renbourns. For much of book 3, Sasperia is an active enemy of the Renbourns, constantly inventing schemes to diminish their reputations and place herself in control over the family. By the final chapters of book 3, Sasperia has come to her senses and allies herself with the family as a bloody civil war erupts in Alma.

Introduced in book 4, A Throne for an Alien

Elena Richelo Renbourn, Liege of the United States of America. Born: 1719, Hitelec, the second daughter of Queen Moy of Hitalec. Bonded to Renbourn tribe: 1739. Mother: Tusgin Richelo Renbourn (son, born at Four Corners, USA, 1739); Moycolm (daughter, born Four Corners, 1741)

Destined to serve her older sister Bet when she ascended to the throne of Hitelec, the long-haired, long-limbed Elena was unexpectedly forced to make Bet abdicate as a result of the Queen’s attempt to kidnap Renbourn children in a scheme to force the Renbourns to support her irrational power grabs in the Gravsean region of Beta.
As a result, Bet Richelo is sent into exile and Malcolm Renbourn became the Consort-Liege to the Queen of a country Elena renamed the United States of America.

Jona Solem Renbourn, Born in jungles of Verashesh, 1715. Helprim introduced in book 3 but bonded to tribe in book 4 to give her artificially-injected children legitimacy: Yilmud (son, Island Bilan, 1732; Vera (daughter, Four Corners, 1741).

Jona is a highly skilled medical doctor schooled in genetic studies who came to the Renbourn family to supervise studies of the bi-planetary bloodlines of the Renbourn children. Known to have the most minimal of personalities, Jona bonds to Malcolm not in a love match, but rather as a way to bring her children into the Renbourn tribe.
