'''Binro''' (known as ''' | '''Binro''' (known as '''the Heretic''') was an outcast living in the city of [[Shur]]. He realised the lights in the night sky over [[Ribos]] were not ice crystals, but in fact distant [[Star|suns]], not unlike the sun his own world circled. He took measurements, developed a rudimentary [[astronomy]] in the process and proved that the two seasons of [[Icetime]] and [[Suntime]] were due to the change in distance of Ribos from its sun. | ||
His discoveries, however, ran contrary to Ribosian religious doctrine, which claimed that the change of seasons was due to an eternal battle between the [[Sun god]]s and [[Ice god]]s. Binro was branded a heretic | His discoveries, however, ran contrary to Ribosian religious doctrine, which claimed that the change of seasons was due to an eternal battle between the [[Sun god]]s and [[Ice god]]s.

Through a chance meeting with an off-worlder, [[Unstoffe]], Binro learned that he was correct in his discoveries. Unstoffe told Binro the truth about his own origins and assured him that one day the people of Ribos would recognise that he had been right. Binro repaid this kindness by helping Unstoffe escape the [[Graff Vynda-K]]. | Through a chance meeting with an off-worlder, [[Unstoffe]], Binro learned that he was correct in his discoveries.
