Fixed erroneous conflation of G'narish and G'dened's dragon names. A few other additions.

* InformedAttribute: F'lar identifies R'mart, along with G'narish, as one of the younger and more open-minded Oldtimer Weyrleaders. We never really get to see how true this is, since he barely appears at all.
* OutOfFocus: Probably gets the least amount of characterization among all the original Oldtimer Weyrleaders. This is largely due to his spending almost the entirety of ''Dragonquest'' out of action off-screen. When he appears in later books, he's little more than a background character.

* TookALevelInJerkAss: In ''Dragonflight'', he is a friendly, helpful and heroic leader who is instrumental in persuading his fellow dragonriders to make the leap forward with Lessa. His character has changed dramatically by ''Dragonquest'', to the point where he hardly seems like the same person: overbearing, suspicious, and antagonistic, he's effectively the villain for a large partion of the book. Given that the former book calls him T'ton and the latter calls him T'ron, it's tempting to believe he ''is'' two different people -- were it not that his dragon's name remains the same.

* JerkAss: By far the most unpleasant of the Oldtimer leaders. For comparison: while T'ron is bullying and obstructionist, he's for the most part a responsible weyrleader; T'kul, on the other hand, not only neglects his duties but is strongly implied to use his dragonriders to actively terrorize the holders under his care.

Rider of bronze Tiroth and Weyrleader of Ista Weyr. After retiring, [[spoiler:also spends some time as interim Weyrleader of Southern Weyr]].
* TenMinuteRetirement: After his Weyrwoman Fanna dies, he retires as Ista Weyrleader and makes plans to quietly disappear. However, when [[spoiler:T'kul is killed, D'ram volunteers to take over the leadership of Southern Weyr]], pointing out that the dragonriders there would only tolerate a fellow Oldtimer in that position.

* TakingYouWithMe: In ''The White Dragon'', he and his dragon Salth join an open mating flight even though no-one thinks the elderly bronze is capable of it. In fact, he fully expects Salth to die in the attempt, and deliberately equips himself with a dueling knife, hoping [[spoiler:the trauma of his dragon's death will induce a berserk rage and allow him to kill F'lar before he dies himself. It very nearly works]].
