Character from Foundation by Isaac Asimov
The youngest clone of the Genetic Dynasty — a boy raised to become Emperor who begins to suspect that being a copy doesn't mean being the same, and that difference might be his salvation or his death.
Dawn is the Dynasty's most dangerous element: a clone who might be different. Each generation of Cleons is supposed to be identical, but Dawn shows variations — sensitivity, curiosity, capacity for genuine feeling. He is drawn to forbidden things: individual identity, authentic emotion. The Dynasty's legitimacy depends on interchangeable clones; Dawn's uniqueness is either evolution or heresy.
Young, perhaps seventeen, with Cleon's sculpted features softened by youth. The same face as Day and Dusk but unworn — smooth skin, bright eyes, simpler robes. Moves with an adolescent's mixture of grace and uncertainty.
Also known as: Brother Dawn, Dawn, Young Cleon
