Kahale
Kahale Moana, known to some as Breaker, is a Rokea of the Squamus breed, exiled from his kind for an act of necessary violence—destroying a Wyrm-tainted oil rig off the Louisiana coast. Born in the early 1200s in the waters near Aotearoa, he is as much sea as man. He was once worshipped as a god, feared as a storm, and now walks the edge of civilization as a quiet sentinel of Balance.
Now settled quietly in the bayous outside Houston, Kahale keeps to the water and shadows, surfacing when needed—offering fish, warning of spiritual rot, and observing the strange world of the surface walkers. He speaks rarely, acts deliberately, and always listens to the sea.
- The Exiled Hunter: Once revered, now cast out by the Heeding for acting without permission. He still serves Gaia—just not under anyone's command.
- Spiritual Ritualist: Conducts cleansing rites, shark-spirit rituals, and offerings to the sea using ancient, nearly lost practices.
- Ancient Memory: Over 800 years old. He has seen the rise and fall of cultures, the wounds in the world, and the quiet truths beneath the tide.
- Shark Tooth Necklace: Each tooth marked with a name or symbol, tied to memory or death.
- Māori Tattoos: Faded spirals and ancestral patterns across his arms and chest—scarred but powerful.
- Salt-Stiff Coat: Heavy, patched, and always damp with seawater. Carries the scent of the deep sea and storms.
- Notoriety(flaw): Breaker is marked not just by his conscience but also by the very society that once trained and trusted him. After destroying a Pentex-affiliated oil rig off the coast of Louisiana and slaughtering its crew. Breaker was exiled by the Heeding for violating the Pact of Reticence, the ancient Rokea law that forbids actions drawing mortal attention to their kind. This act of righteous in spirit but reckless in execution. Has earned him infamy among his kind. Wherever Rokea gathers, his name is whispered with disdain, fear, or sorrow. Many believe him unstable, dangerous, or Wyrm-touched. Some even consider him a liability to Gaia’s Balance.
"The sea is not cruel. It remembers. That is different."
"The sea remembers its teeth."
One for blood. One for memory. Play them when the tide pulls, or when silence must break.
