Ya know, we had a good thing here centuries ago. Sure, the Apache and Navajo and Comanche fought each other and fought other tribes as well. But we never tried to actually wipe other tribes out. We didn’t come into a place and say “this is our land now and all of you have to dress like us, worship our god and stink worse than a pile of horse manure.’ Then the white man showed up… first it was the Spanish: dirty, arrogant and very blood thirsty. Then it was the French: lewd, filthy and too interested in furs to be of much use. Then the damned Americans arrived and my people thought they would just be a temporary problem, like the Spanish had been.
Now look at what’s happened. I can’t say that the white man brought this strange apocalypse upon us but they’ve screwed us in every other way possible… so why not this too? I just don’t understand these people… hell, they even persecute MY people! And not just half-orcs, but elves, dwarves… the whole damned bunch!
…this recent development on the other hand… my entire tribe being wiped out by these, things… that ISN’T the white man’s fault. So, it’s time to sharpen my claws, brush my fur and sit down for a nice meal of monster stew.
…then me and whitey can have it out. I won’t forget what the Texans did to my people.
Neraka was born to a Comanche woman that had been violated by a half-orc during the first wave of the ‘outlanders’. Since she was an important figure in the tribe, she was not shunned and was allowed to give birth to the child. It happened on a night with a full lunar eclipse… something that the Medicine Man said was both a good and a bad sign. He forecast that the child would be a great warrior for the Comanche but that he would also carry a powerful curse that would set him apart from his people. Neraka, when enraged, turns into a 9 foot tall, black were-wolf with a tail and sharp spines along his back. Despite this appearance, his tribe valued his abilities and considered him amongst their fiercest warriors.
One night, not long ago, Neraka came back from hunting to find his tribe wiped out. All of them had been killed and the bodies were twisted into grotesque shapes. Despite his grief, Neraka sang the mourning song and honored his tribe for three days when he was granted a vision by the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit showed him how he might avenge his tribe and possibly save the world from the same menace that killed his people. While Neraka has no love for white people (especially Texans), he has set this prejudice aside to investigate what happened to his people. The vision given to him by the Great Spirit also instructed Neraka to learn harmony between all things: good and evil, order and chaos. The Great Spirit told him to remember his training as a servant of nature and to cleanse the world of this new abomination.
His travels have led him to a town in the west called Pestilence. There are rumors that more of these monsters have been seen near there. While in Pestilence, Neraka trains horses, dogs and other creatures that the Great Spirit has provided to aid the people. He also works as an expert tracker and guide.
