Paktarss Akri

Though he is Draconian, Akri was very receptive towards Grakaka's religion after the two had met while the Orc was meditating outside of his camp. Even as an 80 year old, Akri has no clue as to how he is so altered from other Draconians. Unlike others of his species, he is white-grey, and has a neutral good alignment. Akri was one of the few people from the tribe who stayed behind to watch for the tyranny of the Orthodox Tribe moving towards the North. The Draconian's only true friend, besides Grakaka, is his loyal stray cat.

## Backstory

### Early Life

Akri, like all Draconians, was created as a disposable abomination with many of his kind. They were abandoned at birth and their purpose of creation is still unknown. Akri, however, stood out amongst his brothers and sisters physically because of his pale skin and spiritually because of his love of justice and truth. Because of these differences, Akri was abandoned when he reached adulthood and began to wander the Great Ice and the Alpines within it. He learned common from spending a time in the Rouge Forests as well, but moved back up to the Great Ice after finding that his kind were hated for their evil nature.

### Meeting Grakaka

In his elder years, Grakaka often meditated in the woods outside of his camp. He would do this with no armor or weapon, and he would gain his daily missions by listening to what the bean would tell him. While he was meditating once, he heard branches snapping and leaves being moved in the woods, and though he did not look behind, he could feel the presence there. A Draconian, standing nearly two feet taller than him, breathing heavily and staring at the sitting elder. The monster spoke, saying, "I've been watching you for some time now." Grakaka didn't yet reply, and the monster said, "May I sit?" Grakaka nodded, and the two sat in silence for minutes. When Grakaka had finished meditating, he told the Draconian that he could sense a heart of gold inside, and when the beast heard this, he silently wandered back into the woods.

The two would do this every day for a month, only speaking to each other after Grakaka had finished meditating, then the Draconian would leave without a trace. At the end of the month, the monster said, "My name is Akri. I am called so because of my light skin," he muttered, "I would like to believe." And with that admission, Grakaka openly accepted him into his tribe. Akri was a quick learner, and took all of the scriptures to heart, and within a year of soaking in knowledge, he knew he would become a priest.

Akri, though he was cautiously feared by most in the tribe, was called 'teacher' by the children, and taught them the Draconian formalities. After learning a portion of his language, the tribe would refer to him as Paktarss Akri (meaning teacher of light in Draconian.) He became good friends with Grakaka, seeing the old Orc as his mentor. He became Grakaka's personal messenger and enforcer when the Orthodox Tribe eventually found where Grakaka's camp was, and fought many of the evil Orcs. During one of the final battles Grakaka fought in, Akri's wings were sliced off.

## Before The Schpengal Massacre

Akri had heard word of a magic thief in the months before the massacre on Schpengal, and could sense an evil aura emitting from these rumors. He knew the power that his friend Grakaka once held would be sought after by evil and intelligent men, so Akri committed himself to wander south and find this thief before it was too late.

Akri made few stops and made it south of the boarder of the Schpengal region to where he had heard of these thefts coming from. He then began to follow the path of the thief closely, though he could never find his man. This led him to Schpengal which was odd considering the town's absence of magic.

While silently scouring a bar named The Broken Barrell in Schpengal, he noticed another doing the same. The other investigator began to leave once he noticed Akri, but was abruptly stopped by a young ravenfolk darting through the bar. The hooded figure ran after the boy and Akri silently followed. This would lead Akri to meeting Hirro, who was also looking for this magic thief, and Finnegan, who had become a mental puppet for the thief's needs in Schpengal.

When the two left the bar they had headed back to Randy Doppinson's house where they would discuss all of this with another investigator named Lue Juan.
