Beka Rosselin-Metadi

The youngest child and only daughter of Jos Metadi and Perada Rosselin.

History
Seven years before the first book, Beka came of age and enlisted Owen Rosselin-Metadi, her second-eldest brother who was only one year her senior, to help her get a pilot's job to take her off planet. While Owen argued with her, he only did so long enough to realize she'd go with or without his help, and made certain she had a fair start. Owen would be the only member of her family she would keep in touch with for the next seven years, through rare letters.

Her first berth was on the Sidh, the ship where she met Ignaceu LeSoit.

The Price of the Stars
While on a layover at Waycross on Innish-Kyl, Beka went to the Blue Sun Cantina for a drink. While she was there the barkeep called her "Domina" but she believed it was due to her resemblance to her mother. Before she could do much drinking she was stopped by Errec Ransome, who told her she was wanted at the docking bays by her father, Jos Metadi. While Beka suspected her Mother wanted her return home or that family politics were in play, she soon learned that her brother Owen had given them her location of his own free will. Knowing Owen would never do so unless it was something more serious than family politics, she asked for an explanation.

Errec and Jos told Beka about her mother's murder, and Jos offered her the Warhammer for Beka's own at a price: the names of the people who planned her mother's murder and carried it out. Beka agreed, and began her investigation in the Warhammer. For some time Beka asked questions and pushed out her cargo routes, making certain to arrange cargo at least two ports in advance.

However, when at the Embrig Spaceport on Mandeyn, Beka ran into some trouble. She met up with her old friend Ignaceu LeSoit who led her to believe he was crewing on the Reforger. In actuality, Ignac was part of "the game", an assassin. His accompanying her around Embrig kept her alive, but when they parted ways Beka was attacked.

Appearance
