Eamon Cavanaugh

Eamon Cavanaugh was a human scientist, and the creator of the race (anthrofelinoid in appearance) of humans known as the Aelur. He lived nearly six hundred years before the events of ''Killdeer. ''Suncrest describes him as "both brilliant and mad," with great skill in the manipulation of DNA.

His manipulation of feline DNA, blending it with human, eventually resulted in seven successful female subjects, followed by several others, both male and female. He also bred the trison, a sort of thick-pelted, three-horned cattle.
