Damian Melrose is a character in the Eden Pond Series.

Biography

Damian Melrose serves as a captain in the U.S. Army who has been tasked with surveying the Tillamook Bay and Cape Meares for possible placement of defensive installations. He can be aloof, though capable of bursts of merriment at unexpected moments. He is generally friendly, except the leading members of the Tillamook community, particular those involved in the so-called Guerilla Rifle Club, a civilian militia formed by World War I veterans to defend against Japanese invasion.

Personal Details and Appearance
He's red-haired and freckled with a small mouth and pale blue eyes. He often appears to be on the verge of a smile, even during serious moments. He rarely loses his temper, and then only when driven to it. He handles himself well, and is capable of taking on multiple opponents in a fight—though he'd prefer to avoid doing so. He's very good at keeping secrets. He's a non-smoker, unusual in a time when most people seem to smoke.
