Biography
Early life
As a member of the nobility, Dom probably enjoyed a very wealthy lifestyle through his childhood. His mother was a sister of Baird of Queenscove, and thus he had ties with the powerful ducal house. As a younger son of Masbolle, however, he was not pressured to become a knight, which he was very happy about. Following the path that most younger sons take, he joined the King's Own around 452 HE.
King's Own
Dom first sees Kel when she is a page struggling to control her horse Peachblossom, betting against (presumably) the rest of Third Company that she would not fall off and consequently winning a meal at the Jugged Hare. He was new to the King's Own at this point, and he was probably not a sergeant yet. He moved up the ranks quickly, and was a sergeant by 456 HE.
Sergeant of the King's Own
She meets him on her first assignment with Lord Raoul. He gives her a warm turnover, saying that she would learn not to rush getting ready and skip breakfast. He is sergeant of a squad under Captain Flyndan Whiteford. Lord Raoul usually rides with them. Throughout Kel's squire years before the beginning of the Scanran War, Dom is a good friend of Kel's, and gives her advice about soldiering with the Own. He admires Kel greatly, and they have a stable friendship.
Scanran War
He is shot during a battle with Scanran raiders leaving Kel, then a squire, to take command of his squad. During this fight Kel first encounters a "killing device". She also develops a bit of a crush on him [Dom]. He reappears in Lady Knight, first belonging to a squad to protect Haven for the first weeks and later as he and his squad kept Kel company to rescue the Haven refugees. He and his men appoint Kel as their leader, and give her maps and food that she would need across the Scanran border. He is pleased when his cousin Neal arrives, although Kel is livid. After rescuing the adults, he goes on with Kel to save the children from Blayce the Gallan. He is successful, and returns home in one piece with Kel. Unlike Kel, he got an assignment for this trip from Lord Raoul, and his actions are completely legal throughout the War.
Physical appearance
He is Nealean of Queenscove's cousin. The two resemble each other, but Dom has blue eyes, not green, and darker hair than Neal. Neal is tall, fair-skinned, and lean, with light brown hair that sweeps back from a widow's peak. His face is willful, with high cheekbones and arched brows. It is presumed that Domitan is close to the same.
Personality
He, like Neal, is witty and has the ability to voice irony. Although he knows when to keep his thoughts to himself better.
He also flirts with everyone. When Cleon gets angry at his flirting with Kel, she says that it runs in the family and that he does it with everyone. However, it is strongly implied that he is interested in Kel romantically, and that she feels somewhat the same, though neither have voiced or acted upon such feelings.
Relationships
Keladry of Mindelan
Dom and Kel got along very well and became good friends throughout the latter's time in the Own. Kel was originally very attracted to Dom, something that he never knew for sure, but perhaps guessed. Even though she was "The Girl", he still treated her with respect. When Kel was courting Cleon of Kennan, he made the mistake of flirting with her, angering Cleon. In the Scanran War, Dom helped Kel retrieve her kidnapped refugees and their children and they became even closer. It is unknown if their friendship will blossom into romance, but as of now there have been only hints in the books.
