Takkar

Takkar (also known as The Beast Master) is the main playable protagonist in the 2016 game, Far Cry Primal. He was a Wenja tribesman who located the secret land of Oros, the safe haven of the Wenjas. However, his land and his people came into danger when they were attacked by the "Udams", a barbaric man-eating tribe commanded by Ull, and the Izilas (also known as "the sunwalkers" or "the masters of fire) who enslaved and sacrificed Wenjas for the sun. Takkar must learn to overcome these threats, and rise into the new leader of his tribe.
He was voiced by , who also voiced Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Evolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
==Biography==
Based on the opening, it can be assumed that Takkar was separated from the Wenja tribe in Oros. He and his brother formed a tribe which roamed the lands, seeking a suitable place to live while surviving the elements
Takkar and his brother Dalso were hunting mammoths in the prologue. After successfully taking one down, the Bloodfang Sabertooth attacked them, killing everyone but Takkar. After burying Dalso, Takkar will learn to create a bow, some arrows, a club, and spears before following the trail of another Wenja. After traveling through a cave, he finds the other Wenja named Sayla who was skinning an Udam. They both came across the Bloodfang Sabertooth tiger once again and were able to escape together but with Sayla injured with a huge claw mark on her back. After their close call with the beast, they reach the place where both will soon build the Wenja village in the famous land of Oros (which is somewhere in Europe). Salya soon explains to Takkar the dire situation of the Wenja population. 
After helping Sayla find medicine, Takkar sets off to find Tensay, a shaman who teaches Takkar how to tame animals. Upon returning to the village, Takkar found that the village was about to be attacked by Ull and the Udam tribe. He fought them off, destroying their camp and killing many before returning. The distraught Sayla explains to Takkar the number of casualties and urges him to avenge them.
Takkar sets off to find Wenja specialists scattered around Oros. There was Jayma the hunter, Wogah the weaponsmith, and Karoosh the warrior, each coming with their own set of quests and skills. Jayma in particular gave Takkar the locations of the great beasts which he can choose to defeat and tame besides the Bloodtusk Mammoth which can only be killed. Takkar will also receive potions from Tensay, allowing him to hallucinate and discover the motivations and fears of the enemy tribes.
The Udam tribe is dying due to a disease they call "Skull fire" (a mix between the Kuru disease and fever in the modern world). The Kuru disease is a illness that is transmitted through cannibalism which leads to headaches, coordination problems and many other symptoms. The Udam share the same belief as the other tribes in Oros which is, if you eat something you gain the strengh of what you ate. Because the Wenjas lived longer than the Udam tribe, they thought that if they ate the Wenjas, the Udam tribe will be able to live as long as them. Which turns out that it only deteriorated their health and the extreme cold didn't help them either. 
The Izila tribe were worshippers of the Sun. They enslaved the Wenjas to build their villages, standing stones and temples because of their durable and strong bodies.They would sacrifice them in rituals because their blood would bring fertility to the fields as stated by Roshani. The thing that the Izila feared the most was Krati, the son of the leader of the Izila tribe Batari. Krati lead a rebellion against his mother which ultimatly failed and cost him his life. Batari burned her son alive for treason and then entombed him inside a massive cave with his mask which he used during the rebellion. After his death, Batari and the entire tribe would make rituals and prayers to calm him because they thought that Krati's rage lived inside the mask and they though he might come back one day to destroy them all. 
While checking up on Tensay, Takkar will discover the existence of the Izila tribe. He decided to rescue the Wenja trapped there, finding out the enemy tribe’s weapons and buildings. After being knocked out, he discovered the leader of the Izila, a priestess named Batari. He quickly escaped their lair, preparing to wage war on the Izila.
In an attempt to learn about his enemies, Takkar will capture 2 commanders fromn both enemy tribes. An Udam named Dah and an Izila named Roshani. Dah in particular is treated worse with Takkar having to save him from an execution. With their information, Takkar will prepare to fight the leaders of both tribes.
In order to fight Ull, Takkar must use rare yellow leaves to create a mixture which renders him immune to poisonous gas which protects the Udam base. Despite this however, he is still captured and placed in a cage where Ull taunts him. Upon escaping, Takkar engages in a brutal fight with Ull, using his weapons, beasts, and even enviromental objects to take down the Udam Warchief until he finally sucumbs to his injuries. Upon Ull’s last request, Takkar takes the Udam Warchief’s children to be raised with the Wenja. Sayla is confused by this but is happy nevertheless with Ull's death.
In order to fight Batari, Takkar must first steal the Mask of Krati. Takkar will then attack the Izila’s temple before an angry Batari ambushes him and destroys the mask. After a tactical battle requiring many ranged weapons, Takkar defeats and kills Batari by burning her alive. He then returns home where Tensay greets him and celebrates with hallucinogenic potions.

==Personality==
Takkar is a brave and noble spirit who proudly fights for the Wenja, his people. He cares deeply for his people however he is still outright brutal and violent to his enemies, specifically if they endanger his friends. Takkar also shows a spiritual connection to the beasts he tame, and is seen petting and healing them whenever they're injured.
Despite his aggressive nature, Takkar's strongest weapon is his compassion for his enemies. Though like all Wenja he despised Udam, he showed kindness to Dah, an Udam warrior who helped him create Sting Bombs and in return Takkar spared Dah from execution at the hands of Wenja. After this the former Udam vowed all loyalty to Wenja. He also honoured Ull, the Udam leader's final wishes by protecting his newborn son and daughter and respectfully telling his spirit to walk free after he had died. Takkar's massive respect for his people was shown how he gave his friend Dalso the proper burial after he was killed by a tiger and went after Ull to avenge Sayla's despair.
