Erim

Erim, clumsy, beetle-browed, and slow of speech, who looked stupid but, she suspected, wasn't.

– Jame's narration, To Ride a Rathorn,
"Chapter V: A Length of Rope", I

Erim is a Knorth randon cadet at Tentir. He is one of Jame's ten-command.

He's known for being an archer with impeccable aim,^[2]^[3] although he can't shoot living things.^[4] Because of his amazing aim, Jame suspects that the time he tripped and threw a bowl of soup in Vant's face was on purpose.^[5]
