Zuri was born to the established Xefoni clan in Xefon-Ra. His strength and stoic temperament naturally lead him to guard duty. He was a natural, placing his charges first and protecting their escape. While traversing the Glazen sheet with a group of merchants they were beset by abominations. Escaping with his life and those of some of his charges, he was disgraced having returned without the caravan. Worse still, the encounter awakened something deep within. His once stoic gaze was replaced a seething rage within his heart, and its manifestation combined with his disgrace lead to his exile.
Stripped of his clan, station, and hair Zuri sought to make a name outside of the Xefoni. He found work as a mercenary protecting Osirionologists trying to exploring Osirion tombs. As he delved deeper into Osirion's history and its relics he also explored the powers awakened within him.
Recently Zuri is returning from a partially successful exploration of Tombs near Wati. They returned with their lives and a more nuanced understanding of ancient past, but no new powerful relics. He seeks to join successful groups of explorers to gain glory and recognition such that he can rejoin a Garundi clan.
