 From the information the story provides, do you think you have a good sense of the personalities of Captain Llud's crew?
In the last hours the star ahead had grown brighter by many magnitudes, and had changed its color from a dazzling blue through white to the normal yellow, of a GO sun. But now unwonted excitement possessed the hundred-odd members of the Quest III's crew. The grownups talked in low voices, in tones of mingled eagerness and apprehension, of what might lie at the long journey's end. Knof Llud, the Quest III's captain, came slowly down the narrow stair from the observatory, into the big rotunda that was now the main recreation room, where most of the people gathered. Eyes lifted from the vision screens to interrogate Knof Llud; he met them with an impassive countenance, and announced quietly, "We've sighted Earth." He said, with a touch of tolerant amusement, "What did you think might have happened to Earth? After all, it's only been nine hundred years." Llud nodded curt approval, remarking, "Probably we'll be intercepted before we get that far." And we don't know what changes have taken place on Earth. From his private office-cabin, he sent a message to Chief Astronomer Zost Relyul to notify him as soon as Earth's surface features became clear; then he sat idle, alone with his thoughts. The ship's automatic mechanisms had scant need of tending; Knof Llud found himself wishing that he could find some back-breaking task for everyone on board, himself included, to fill up the hours that remained. Now the last fuel compartment was almost empty and Captain Knof Llud felt tired and old. Perhaps, he thought, he was feeling the weight of his nine hundred Earth years—though physically he was only forty now, ten years older than when the voyage had begun. Bemusedly Llud got to his feet and stood surveying a cabinet with built-in voice recorder and pigeonholes for records. There were about three dozen film spools there—his personal memoirs of the great expedition, a segment of his life and of history. He might add that to the ship's official log and its collections of scientific data, as a report to whatever powers might be on Earth now—if such powers were still interested. "One light-day out from Procyon, the thirty-third day by ship's time since leaving Earth. "Our visit to Procyon drew a blank.
 No. Llud was well-described, and some of the side characters had detail, but none of them really stand out too much.
 Probably. There were good descriptions for all of the side characters, including Captain Llud's son.  No. Llud barely spoke to anyone on the ship at all, he was even ignoring his son so we really didn't get to see a good glimpse of anyone's personalities.  No. Llud was well-described, and some of the side characters had detail, but none of them really stand out too much.  Yes. All of the characters felt incredibly real, and they all care deeply about Llud.
