Freminet, the younger brother of the famous Fontaine magicians Lini and Lynette, does not like to be the center of attention. The looks, reactions, and comments of those around him invariably break the rhythm of his breathing. He prefers to take refuge in the sea, in a state of light weightlessness, pour out his soul to the romarines and share warmth with them. He seems cold, but in fact his emotions, like himself, are turned to the sea.
