Before leaving Alterra, the Golds gave them a list of toolmakers who had an allegiance to them. They also listed some who did not, but might interest them regardless.
The prerequisite of approaching them, however, was whether the toolmaker was having trouble in Bleulle and if it was safe enough for them (Veronica and the Alterrans) to approach at all.
The top of the list was Kalfene, one of the best aether letter toolmakers around. Even when he was younger, he could create three quality aether letters when others of the same age and rank could make one at the same time frame.
He also had the inheritance for the aether board. While the latter had limited uses, the fact that he could create at least two tools proficiently was a testament to his talent.
Furthermore, he was a Class C Toolmaker at 40 years old, an impressive feat.
He was described to have bright orange curly hair and large, rounded glasses, appearing to be in his late 20s.
