Who is Hannes Suessi from Startide Rising and what is their importance? Startide_Rising English & Literature Hannes Suessi | Startide Rising

A gaunt, balding human engineer assigned to the exploration vessel Streaker, Hannes is nicknamed Maker of Wonderful Toys. He warns young Toshio Iwashika not to try to look down on the largely-dolphin crew. He will be laughed to scorn and probably nipped at. The Protocols governing how Earth species are to behave apply only when Galactics are around. Hannes dislikes the ETs (whom he calls Eatees) and cannot imagine humans alone running Streaker.
