Shaman is a major protagonist in the space western series BraveStarr and its pilot film. He is the mentor and foster father of BraveStarr.
He was voiced by Ed Gilbert, who also voiced Thirty Thirty in the series.
== Biography ==
He was an unnamed Native American shaman who raised BraveStarr as his son. When their people discovered a great power that was also desired by Stampede, Shaman explained their power plant must be protected at all costs. During an attack on the tribe by a herd of giant broncosaurs, Shaman had to use all his magic to face Stampede in astral form, but Stampede targeted BraveStarr instead so Shaman was forced to withdraw his power and protect the boy. Stampede gained the power he sought, but it came at a price: the plant's energy was too powerful for even him to absorb, causing him to destroy his own broncosaurs and the entire planet, as well as all but one of the escaping ships, leaving Shaman and BraveStarr the last of their tribe. Shaman could never forgive himself for this mistake.
Eventually, Shaman sought out New Texas to face Stampede again. Because the rocket ship would crash land on the planet, Shaman put BraveStarr in a suspended animation chamber and ejected his emergency capsule into space for the Galactic Marshals to take care of him. Before sending him off, Shaman gave BraveStarr one half of his tribe amulet so they would know each other if they ever meet again. After that, Shaman used his magic powers to have asteroids cling to his ship as a wall of protection. He survived the crash-landing, but it rendered his hair (which was previously black with two streaks of white) completely white. Shaman reunited with BraveStarr when the latter arrived on New Texas as the Galactic Marshal.
In the series, Shaman serves as an advisor to BraveStarr, who at times would contact him telepathically if he needed help. He lives in a stone tower mountain (originally the crashed spaceship) called Starr Peak.
