Gansukh of the Himaa tribe.Â
Named by and after his father, this Auri warrior wields an axe primarily but is adept at using the bow and arrow as well due to being one of the prime hunters of his clan. Gansukh has a twin brother, which is fairly common amongst Himaans. Baghatur, the younger of the two is also a skilled fighter, preferring to take up sword and shield.
In their adulthood, their mother was stricken with an illness unseen in the Steppe at the time. Gansukh set off to find a remedy, leaving Baghatur to tend to her. He reached as far as the Ruby Sea’s bustling port town of Kugane on his own two feet. There he hoped to find any foreign potion or magick to save his mother.
None had heard of this strange disease and therefore could provide little help. However, it was after meeting an optimistic white mage he found a renewed purpose -- to take on the path of conjury himself.
It wasn’t long until he realized he was terrible at white magic, to the point of exhausting his instructor. The conjuring teacher suggested that Gansukh return home and be with his mother in her remaining days instead of pursuing the impossible.
Feeling all but defeated, Gansukh made the solemn trek home, and he was welcomed with upsetting news. The disease had ravaged his mother’s body to the point that she was unrecognizable. Her lustrous black scales now stood as a pale afterthought. Her skin was sallow and her eyes sunken.
Stuck to his mother’s side was Baghatur; the younger Auri looked as if he hadn’t moved since Gansukh made his trek to find help. Baghatur lifted his gaze from his mother and directed a piercing stare towards Gansukh. Time’s passage had soured Baghatur’s outlook on his older brother, and he resented him for leaving him alone with their ailing mother.
When interrogated Gansukh had naught to show for his time away, although it wasn’t without any effort. This further angered Baghatur, who all but threatened to end his life where he stood if he did not leave the tribes land immediately. He left hesitantly, refusing to raise a hand to his kin.Â
It is here where his nomadic journey begins.Â
