Rafe Fenton

Rafe Fenton (1) Student of Physical Sciences (the equivalent of being a Philosophy major) finishing his studies at the University. Extremely attractive, with long, curly dark hair worn long and pulled back in a tail, in the fashion of a student. In his late teens, or maybe 20.

The son of a prosperous merchant, from an upper middle class family, Rafe wants to avoid becoming a merchant himself. Both passionate and naïve, Rafe and considers himself something of an intellectual revolutionary. He wants to change the world, and believes that he can do it by founding his own school. To do this, he first needs to become a Master of Physical Science. To do that, he needs to pass his examination. To do that, he needs to be able to choose his examination committee, which is why he opposes the proposal of the University's Board of Governors to let professors choose which examination committees they sit on.

Enthusiastic on topics of interest to him, he tends to take charge of conversations, interrupt, and rush over people in his urge to speak. He also rubs his hands on his thighs when he wants to kiss someone. For all that he denies any connection with his father's interest, he pegs the rug in William's study as imported, and is probably correct.

As Season 1 begins, Rafe is seen through Micah's eyes. He invites her to cards and to his room, unaware that she's not a boy. He becomes friends with both her and Kaab. He is regularly teased by Joshua, one of his roommates, who warns him that some day, he will wind up having sex with the same man twice and will not know what to do. Rafe is convinced that this will never happen to him.
