===Kotallo===

An experienced Tenakth "Marshal" who guards and enforces the will of their chief. When he was young, Kotallo's combat prowess attracted the envy and paranoia of Tekotteh, his clan leader, who forced him to become a Marshal so that he wouldn't threaten Tekotteh's power. The joke was on Tekotteh, however: Kotallo  served with distinction for years and was now in a position to smack down Tekotteh's attempts at insubordination. It was an unexpected life, but a happy one...

...until a machine sliced off his arm. The Tenakth do not accept crippled people, so Kotallo's injury sent him into something of an existential crisis. Hekarro broke tradition to keep him as a Marshal, but this was little comfort when even Kotallo believed he was worthless. 

It was during this time that Hekarro allied with Aloy, a strange yet talented outlander who was willing to fight rebels against his authority. Hekarro sent Kotallo to guide her through Tenakth territory, a task he performed adeptly despite his mutilation. The two had adventures (including humiliating Tekotteh) and Kotallo began to believe he still had worth. When Aloy left to go save the world, he found that he wanted to follow her. Now he serves as the team's military expert, linking them with Hekarro's government and studying Old One battles. This role makes him feel fulfilled...

...Or so Kotallo says. Emotional expression is ''not'' his strong point.
