A superstitious yet disciplined enforcer of Sevateem tribal tradition, serving as both hunter and guardian of ancient customs. This resolute figure enforces tribal laws with heavy-handed authority, clad in practical leathers and armed with a crossbow. They move through the forest with disciplined precision, relying on intimidation, ritual gestures, and force to ward off perceived threats. Firmly believing in the prophecy of the Evil One and the sacred authority of Xoanon, they exhibit hostility toward outsiders while demonstrating unexpected hesitation when confronted with unfamiliar knowledge, revealing cracks in their superstitious faith. Their willingness to execute the Doctor for blasphemy showcases devotion to dogma over mercy, with their uncertainty in the face of the unknown marking the first fissures in a faith sustaining their people for generations. Additionally serves as a defensive-oriented hunter with measured hostility aligned to tribal norms, participating in ambush duties and ritualized capture protocols.
