About Ulfak Niarka
Background
Spoiler:
Among the shoanti, the way of the shaman is a hard track to follow. They survive and prosper or fall into the dust, looked down on by everyone as a poor provider and weak warrior. Ulfak never wavered. Spurred on because no one liked his orcblood, a reminder of when the Belkzen raiders raped his mother.
He has always been one with the rituals and magic of the shaman. His first howl at the moon was answered by many wolves far and wide, a sure sign of his success. Their noble bearing and yellow eyes changed the young apprentice, lending him some of their loping speed and wiry strength by dawn.
It is wise never to cross the path of a flying raven or crow, they will tell all of your passing. Do not leave gaps in the stones around a fire or be cursed with poor food for three days. These are two of the many useful superstitions that guide Ulfak.
But now Ulfak is the first in many years to go from the hills, chosen to represent the chief, his word and honour. Chosen because they trust Ulfak will scent any lies. Sent on his way by the great shaman, Lekofir Whitehair, because of a shared vision of coiled evil strangling the land and its animals.
However it is the last words of the chief which stick firmest in Ulfak's mind, "the tribe will need your cunning and wisdom one day, for now learn of the world around you and travel far so that you can best help us with that new knowledge. So I send you from our tribe with nothing, that you may take the hard road and prosper for us all. Fight well, Little Dusk Wolf."
However auspicious those words may be, Ulfak has spent the last few months steadily growing weaker and poorer as his gruff shoanti manners brought him no luck what so ever. There is only a feeling that things will change now he is headed for Diamond Lake.
Personality
Gruff and grizzled, Ulfak is a tough young apprentice riddled with superstitions and rituals. His sense of pack, team work and respect for elders and betters is based on natural instincts. Away from his work, Ulfak loves to run and run, especially at night, with a jug of honey milk at dawn to finish the play.
Appearance
Ulfak Niarka "Little Dusk Wolf" in his tribe has a long pelt of reddish hair down his spine, accentuated by his own rangy height. Until Ulfak opens his mouth, the orcish blood isn't easy to spot but those massive canines and jaw muscles are unforgettable. His yellow eyes gleam in starlight, a sure sign of the favour of the lone warrior hero, Zaro the Alfar.
