The commander of the exploration vessel Streaker, Creideiki is a male neo-dolphin with impressive credentials as an engineer and sailor. On his desk he keeps a signed photograph of the officers of the legendary James Cook. Creideiki is also a collector of eclectic artwork and music from a dozen races, and an adept of Keeneenk, a combination of human-style logic with the heritage of the Whale Dream. He regularly makes the rounds of the ship, using Keeneenk to calm the neo-dolphins' hypochondria. An engineer by training, he is at heart a mystic poet.
