Bruce Lunardi

Airborn
Bruce Lunardi is the son of a rich businessman, Otto Lunardi. He attended the Airship Academy and then trained for a little time as a junior sailmaker aboard the Aurora. At first, Matt Cruse does not really appreciate Bruce's presence on the ship, given that Bruce had seemingly stolen Matt's spot as junior sailmaker and that he seems interested in Kate.

But Bruce, Kate and Matt finally get along together, being the only ones who knew about the cloud cats at the time. Unfortunately, Bruce dies from a gunshot to the head from Vikram Szpirglas and does not live to accomplish his goal; to find a employment he loves. However, his father, Otto Lunardi, implies later he wanted to be an astronomer.
