Crane (born Isas, surname unknown) is a Dedicate of the Living Circle religion at Winding Circle in Emelan. He is the first Air Temple dedicate^[1] and an initiate, which means temple-mage. He and Rosethorn have enjoyed a friendly rivalry and even a sexual relationship^[2] for years. He is related to Count Albannon fer Yorvan from Olart^[3].

He has large greenhouses, which are protected by alarm spells^[3], in which he grows plants out of season, and tangles with Briar Moss when Briar spots a shakkan in his greenhouses which is ill. Briar adopts the plant. His greenhouses are also a reason why he and Rosethorn hate each other because Rosethorn believes that plants should be able to grow at their own seasons, not at the wrong times, which Crane's greenhouse enables him to do. His greenhouses have also been a center for discovering the cure to diseases, such as the blue pox in 1036 K.F.^[4].

Osprey helps him out with his work, and is a friend of his.

[edit] Physical description

Dedicate Crane is tall and lean with lank, black hair and brown eyes. His face is described as being thin and suspicious. He normally wears the yellow robe of an Air Dedicate with the black trim which marks him as an initiate.^[1]
