The Versati Dtareen are a genetically standard human group living as part of the Luriani culture. They have the mentality but not the amphibious adaptations. Iain was dubbed "Fish" as a child when he tried to swim like the Luriani kids, and failed.

He's an irreverent, awkward sod. He knows everything about machines (self-taught) and will tell you if you don't escape fast enough.

He got a job on a freighter to get off his planet before somebody broke his legs and he's been hiding in engine rooms ever since.

He and Silea Crossflow are a couple, but many people wonder what she sees in him.
