Born into one of the nagaji tribe that roamed the southern reaches of the Mwangi Expanse, So’tek eldest son of their chieftess, was destined to fight amongst his siblings.
For the longest time, the tribes were under the influence of a dark cabal of Nagas, who used them as slaves and blood sacrifices for their magic. This changed several decades ago, when a group of adventurers from Holomog defeated these Nagas and freed the tribes. Many of tribes people turned to worship the Holomog patron deity Mazludeh while others turned to Lamashtu. Though the tribes were free, without the Nagas influence the tribes have begun to turn to infighting.
Recently, with Cheliax’s continued expansion and exploration within the expanse, the tribes came into conflict with each other. None, not even his siblings, could agree on how to treat these strange humans. Some called for war, others trade and many, including So’tek wished for isolation. After all, they were already friendly with Holomog and traded with the city of Osibu, why take risks with these new humans, and he doubted they could venture far enough into the Screaming Jungle to threaten them.
Before the tribes could come to a consensus, So'tek was captured by Cheliax slavers. So’tek and his siblings had been scouting one of the humans' lumbering outposts when they were ambushed. So’tek had stayed behind to cover his siblings' escape and when he awoke from unconsciousness, he was already bound and on his way to the slave markets. Sold to an arena fight master, So’tek was forced to fight in the arenas of Cheliax for five years before he made his escape.
His master was assassinated by some rival and with the magical compulsion that kept him docile lifted, So’tek gathered his belongings, stole his master's purse and ran for the docks. Threatening a harbour worker, he found a ship leaving for Sargava and stowed himself in the ship's hold. The Jenivere would take him home.
