# XII Travis — The Defiant Agents character guide

> XII Travis in The Defiant Agents by Andre Norton.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Travis

**First appearance:** 0005-iv

## Snapshot

An Apache thrown across the stars to a colony world, he matches wits with a Tatar shaman who remembers more than any nomad should.

## Who they are

Travis Fox stands in a Horde camp of fifteen warriors and refuses to flinch, trading barbed courtesies with Menlik while Kaydessa argues for freedom beside them. He is a man of two worlds—Apache raider and space-age colonist—and he reads in the shaman's narrowed green eyes an intelligence as sharp as his own. Their duel of wills over whether the Apaches hold the south by right or by scout's trickery shapes the fragile, suspicious contact between the two transplanted peoples.
