Torren Crane was a male human who was introduced in The People of Sparks. He is a resident of Sparks.

Personality[]

As a youth, Torren was a mischievous and adventurous individual. He constantly hoped to head off on adventures with his roamer brother. He was known to be bratty and selfish as well very private, for he hadn't even let Lina Mayfleet touch the gifts he received from his brother that had been consistently used pre-apocalyptic times. As well as being selfish, Torren was usually quite jealous, especially of Maddie Proudfoot and Lina.

History[]

The People of Sparks[]

Torren was first mentioned when he was working in the field. He climbs up onto a windmill, though he was not allowed, and saw the people from Ember make their way to the town. Torren hopes he wouldn't have to share his room.

However, against his will, Lina and her family come to stay at his home, because Poppy was sick. It was revealed that the doctor was Torren's Aunt and not his mother. Later, a group of people called Roamers came to the settlement and started trading off objects, for him to reveal that Caspar was a roamer.

When Lina sneaks off with Casper, Torren is furious. So, in order to get the Emberites in trouble, Torren smashed a tomato in a window, blaming it on Doon. Eventually other things started to happen, causing the Emberites to think it was the people of Sparks (when it really was Tick Hassler), and they were furious, and they declared war on Sparks.

Torren planned to watch the battle out from up in a tree. But it was foiled when it turned out "the weapon" was a cannon and it set fire to his tree. Doon, on top of a building, manages to save him. Later, Ben Barlow visited Torren, revealing Ben to be Torren's uncle.
