Uhm.  I'm not following the answer to the shard plotline question.  I think that needs a bit of work.  That doesn't tell me anything about how he will fit into/help drive the story.

The backstory also needs a bit more expansion, and perhaps be framed as a story?  Among other things, we need a feel for *why* a character is here, ICly speaking, between these two questions.

Edited per your suggestions thanks Nir. I hope this better outlines what I was trying to illustrate as to how he fits in per the current culture and storyline.
