The Buqa

==Overview==
The Buqa was the name given to the military leader and later de-facto ruler of the United Uruvatan Chiefdoms in their waning years. His real name a mystery, the Buqa was a ruthless and mighty warrior with a penchant for cruelty and violence. He was described by all as 'monstrous', standing at over 7 feet with abnormally large hands and an ugly misshapen face. The Buqa was a close associate of High Chieftan Kebeg and rose to gain the unique title of Warchief during the Horishi Empire's eastern advancement into Uruvata. However, after the Buqa's cruel methods were decidedly enough for the High Chieftan, he was dismissed. In response, the Buqa was said to have 'lit the western shores ablaze' to delay Horishi attackers whilst he marched to the Capital and killed the High Chieftan. Kebeg was succeeded by his son but in actuality, the Buqa ruled over Uruvata. Eventually, his brute tactics turned his own men against him and he was killed in an ambush. It was said the Buqa tore through nearly 100 men before he finally fell.
The Buqa's real name and origins were unknown. Some suggested he was a rogue chief that betrayed his people and forged a new identity; others believed he was an experiment, an unnaturally made man; and some even considered him to be something supernatural. A sympathetic origin painted him as the sole survivor of a tragedy that befell his people - some making a connection to the Davstgar Island incident. In any case, the Buqa was a legend in Uruvatan history and was often cited as the inspiration for the Immortal Warrior in Shunist mythology.
