Arakai

Arakai is an elf Shaman trained in the primal powers of the Great Bear Spirit.

Background
Arakai comes from the great forests to the south east where the elves have known nothing but war and loss. During his training to become a primal shaman, his mentor took on a young human woman as a second apprentice. The two quickly became enamored, and she joined Arakai's cause to bring peace to his homeland. However, during her search for an artifact they believed they could use as a weapon against those that threatened the forest elves, Arakai's beloved was slain by Giovanni, whose only interest was in destroying the evil artifact. From this point on, Arakai's sole purpose was revenge for the love of his life.

Current Status
Upon finding primal runes in the cave's forge, and knowing Giovanni had reinforcements meeting them in Phsant, Arakai siezed the opportunity to take his revenge. However, the party was there to stop him, and were about to knock him unconscious when he uttered a last primal rite to place a curse on his target. Doing so consumed his mortal flesh, and Arakai turned into a spirit raven that dissapeared into the ether after taunting Giovanni that his revenge was now imminent.
