About Kela Tharken

Backstory:
The Tharken family is only a minor one with House Tharashk. And, due to the foolish activities of Kela's uncle has lost much of their influence. During her childhood Kela's family was focused on reclaiming respect among the House, attempting to expand operations and cut costs wherever they could. For Kela though this focus seemed small minded. She had grown up entranced by the stories of her ancestors. Their wisdom recognised by the Vvaraak the dragon, their success in the Daelkyr War and their ongoing commitment to guarding the world even as the kingdoms seek to destroy each other.
Her parents disagreed vehemently, since Kela was dragonmarked they felt she ought to be responsible for reviving the Tharken family prospects with the House. Kela finally gave up on getting their blessing in her late teens and left home in the night to join the Gatekeepers.
Successfully completing the training to become a hunter of the Gatekeepers is a difficult task, but one that Kela took to with enthusiasm that never quite flagged. For the first few years she worked as part of a hunting group within the Shadow Marches. But the Gatekeepers were changing, in the aftermath of the Last Was and the Mourning a desire to expand operations, to look beyond the traditional borders was taking hold.
One of the results of this was some members being encouraged to work alongside different hunting groups, in new regions, learning of different techniques and dangers. For Kela this seemed like an opportunity to expand her world beyond the familiarity of the Shadow Marches and she agreed to travel to the Eldeen Reaches and work alongside one of the more established hunting groups there.

Hunter’s Intuition: When you make a Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check, you can roll one Intuition die, a d4, and add the number rolled to the ability check.
Imprint Prey: As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is imprinted in your mind until it dies or you use this trait again. Alternatively, you can imprint a creature as your quarry whenever you succeed on a Wisdom (Survival) check to track it. When you are tracking your quarry, double the result of your intuition die. When your quarry is within 60 feet of you, you have a general sense of its location. Your attacks against it ignore half cover. If you can’t see the target when you attack it, your inability to see it doesn’t impose disadvantage on the attack roll. Likewise, your quarry doesn’t gain advantage on attack rolls against you due to being hidden or invisible. Once you use this trait, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
