Rah'tha-do

> "*With your birth, comes a solemn vow. You will have nothing, your privilege is the dirt. In the darkness, only an iron will, will guide you. The oath you swear, the promises you make, they are yours alone. Your freedom will be the fights you wage. Your birthright, the losses you suffer. Your entitlement, the injuries you endure. And when darkness finds you, you will face it, alone.*"  *Relvlith.*

Quin'Wra-do also known as the Iron-Lion is a notorious mercenary, known for his ruthlessness in battle and reputation in handling different difficult contracts. He has been described as a monster, with no fear, no remorse and no regret. Some even claim he transforms into a beast when he fights.

Despite these claims, however, those who know him have described him as a cheerful and easy-going individual, as many Khajiit typically are.

## Appearance

Standing at around 210cm tall, Quin'Wra-do is a tall, well-toned and athletically built Cathay-Raht; more closely resembling a lion than a jaguar. His coat of fur is a dark grey, with a hint of orange-brown and a dark golden mane. Across his body are scars of various origins and sizes, of these scars, one of the most visible runs down the left side of his face. On his back flows a large lion face tattoo. His eyes are not one colour, his right eye being a ruby-crimson and his left being white.

Staying away from tradition, he dawns a long mane that goes roughly down to a human hands length above his waist The mane is braided, wearing several jewels made of metal, bone and other assorted materials. On his forehead dawns a "third eye" made of silver and a sapphire.

## Personality

While generally a relaxed sort of individual, Rah can be hot-headed and quick to anger. Despite this, he is usually warm and friendly despite being informal. Never turning down a challenge, he is outwardly competitive - and finds himself in brawls more often than he should. He is not afraid to get his hands dirty, and will stop at nothing to achieve what he wants.

Not only does he love to fight, he loves to dominate his opponents. Once he enters a fight, he will not back down unless beaten. He easily becomes drunk off of bloodlust and a desire to dominate.

Rah is a quick learner and prefers to learn first hand. The only thing Rah has not been able to "learn" is magic, he in fact seems cautious, almost veary about ever trying to perform even the simplest of spells.

## Mutations

* No pain: Rah has absolutely no sense of pain, which is not exactly healthy for him or his aggressive fighting style. While he can’t feel the pain that comes with breaking a bone, being cut or being stabbed, he can still feel the sensation of something happening. Even without any sense of pain, Rah like many other khajiit is not fond of people holding onto his tail.
* Regenerative body and slower heartbeat: Rah regenerates any damage he sustains rather quickly, much like werebeasts or vampires, which further drives him to fighting aggressively. Rah also has a heartbeat that is a bit slower than the average.

## Relationships

### S'nita-daro Al'rakujo

Rah's second oldest sister, the pair often sharing their concerns whenever they see one another, which nowadays is a rarity. He is protective of her and willing to risk life and limb in a heartbeat for her.

### Risha Al'rakujo

Rah's oldests sister, his guardian. Before her passing, Rah did all he could to protect her and their sister from their foster parents attention, which often lead Rah and Risha to clash as she believed it her duty to look after him. Now he can only wonder what sort of words of "wisdom" she'd speak to him.

### Kyra Leith

One of his closests and dearest friends, a colleague from the Silver Sentinels, whom he shares a competitive nature with, once even thinking more than just fondly of the bosmer, however he shut down those feelings himself. Now they just taunt and tease eachother when ever they meet.

### Grimmare Silvershield

A shield brother and a captain that Rah served with during his time with the Silver Sentinels. The older warrior was something of a mentor to Rah, while also being a close confidant and friend, they endured a lot together, during and after their time with the Sentinels.

### Tyel

A student and before that, someone Rah had sworn to protect, which he made sure to do with all his might. With her being adopted by a Telvanni, there were a few threats. He began teaching her what he knew of martial arts and sword play. After her death he began to fall apart, blaming himself and letting self hate fester.

### Velyna Telendas

From serving her, to caring for her, to loving her. Their relationship was a strange one, though not one that Rah regrets, even with it's rocky and turbulent moments. Ultimately it didn't work and the two went their seperate ways, also ending the contract that had bound them in the first place.

### Fiinil Gibby

Rah and Fiinil share a complicated relationship. From being friends to lovers to having a strained, yet caring, ambiguous relationship.

## History (backstory)

* Childhood: Rah grew up in Hammerfell, among mercenaries, which led to him being trained from a very young age. His training started with three different khajiiti martial arts, each practiced at specific days or specific weeks, as he grew more experienced with these fighting styles, he was introduced to many more, such as grabbling, strangling or straight up just boxing. Not only was he taught a lot of different fighting styles, his parents used his quick regeneration “against” him, and did “partial training” on many parts of his body, almost all of it, breaking several of his bones, letting them heal. On occasion Rah was forced to train with broken bones. He was not only taught how to fight but also taught everything his parents deemed nessecary to create the most efficient mercenary they could.
* Rah never really took part in the Three Banner War, least that is what he will say. He is not fond of talking about the war, little more than three leaders bickering over a throne.
* Exploring Tamriel: At the age of fifteen he left the Iron Senche. He spend a good year wandering around the region of Glenumbra and Stormhaven, which led him to taking a contract that took him to summerset, then back to Stormhaven. For a short time, he traversed Morrowind, taking a few contracts here and there, however he quickly made his way back "home" to more familiar territory. Upon his return he was approached and brought to join the Silver Sentinels.
* Silver Sentinels. Rah joined up with the Silver Sentinels shortly after he had turned eightteen, and rather swiftly climbed the ranks however refused to take on any leading rank. He became a Battlebrother with Grimmare Silvershield and Kyra Leith, both whom he came to trust a lot. He also made ties with Evorio, however that is more out of respect and not friendship.
* A return to Morrowind. Rah after returning to High Rock, was approached by a dunmeri mage, whom wanted to hire him, upon the revealation as to why, Rah quickly accepted the contract, leaving with her to Vvardenfell. Rah guarded her and a select other few, for little over a year. During this time, many events came to take place. Not long after the new year, Rah left the mages side, after the contract was concluded and returned to Highrock
