Okaat Rhukaan Taash
Spoiler: DescriptionOkaat Rhukaan Taash has the mahogony skin and and almost hairless pate of his people, the Chagri. Tall and well-muscled for a man his age, "Rhuk" is dressed as an outdoorsman.
Spoiler: BackstoryBorn in the Western Highlands of what was once Novostria, Rhuk converted to the Messian faith as a very young man in order to join the army as a scout.
After serving faithfully for 10 year, he left the Imperial Army and made his way in the world as a guide for hunters and ruin-seekers, cartographers and thrill-seekers.
It was on one of these expeditions that he met Doctor Hieronymus Ridley. Shortly after reaching their objective, the party was set upon by an ancient and powerful ghoul.
The combined knowledge and skill of the party was required to hold the creature at bay, and although it was wounded multiple times, it's hunger drove it to continue the attack. In the final confrontation, Rhuk was grieviously wounded by the ghoul.
It was Dr Ridley's direct intervention, and the power of his Mesmerism, that kept the ghoul from feasting on Khoj Chagri flesh that day.
Dr Ridley nursed Rhuk back to health after they returned from their journey, doing so at his own expense. And so Rhuk swore Life-Oath to stand with and protect the Doctor for the the rest of his days.
So it was that when Ridley went to join the Prest excursion, Okaat Rhukaan Taash was by his side.
