Character Description

Hayyoth is a short, older man, his skin wizened by his time in the desert. His clothing is simple and unadorned, and a simple saber hangs at his side. A stylized tattoo adorns his right arm.

Backstory: Hayyoth grew up in a monastary with a number of other children, which was secretly run by one of the Solar Exalted. When a Wyld Hunt attacked the monastary and killed Silent Whisper, Hayyoth's master, Hayyoth was nearly killed. Fleeing with his master's orichalcum naginata, he hid in the desert, remaining there as a recluse for years. Finally, almost forty years later, the same Wyld Hunt was passing through the area on another mission, and their leader found Hayyoth by accident. During his battle with the leader, Hayyoth Exalted and killed him, before leaving his old home and travelling so as not to be captured by the Hunt again. He now comes to Zeretan, having encountered a lovely dancer on the road and taken up a job as her bodyguard, not knowing what awaits...

Resources: Hayyoth's resources come from the supply of gems he brought from the south and whatever else he can piece together.
