Izar

Izar, a character in the Across the Void series, is a Jura stowaway on the Atlas. He is first seen in Chapter 7.

Appearance
Izar has purple eyes, brown hair, and a full beard. His hair also has small crystals at the ends. His skin is tanned, with glowing purple lines on his cheeks. He wears a white shirt with an even pattern and an olive green scarf.

Personality
He appears to be curt and straight-to-the-point, even annoyed at the inconvenience of having to be smuggled and having an inexperienced Jura agent (Pax) as his contact.

Pax Elara
Pax was the one who snuck Izar onto the Atlas. He tells her that he needs to get to a rendezvous point at the next fuel stop. Unless the Atlas was upgraded to contain a panic room, the default locations to hide him are the spare parts bin, Eos Elara's ship, or the laundry chute. He is irritated and unhappy either way.

Main Character
Pax brings her sibling to meet Izar because he/she is the Captain of the Atlas. Captain Elara has the choice to turn him over to the Vanguard by alerting Admiral Deimos of his presence on the ship, or by hiding the fact and allowing Pax to continue to hide him. The first shows allegiance to the Vanguard, the second to the Jura.

Zaniah
When Zaniah walks into the Hangar Bay and sees Pax with Izar, Pax can either tell her the truth or lie and say Izar is a famous passenger. Whether or not Zaniah believes Pax is debatable as the first offers to build a panic room to hide Izar if Pax wishes it. Zaniah would eliminate glitter beds that are in storage and modify a big closet in the engineering room to create the panic room. Whichever Pax chooses, Zaniah tells her that she will not snitch.

Trivia

 * He was revealed as part of the Romly alien race in Chapter 7.
