Character notes

Thural has long been the leader of his tribe of human survivors on the planet Galentor, following the death many years ago of the previous leader, Maratha, in a Mugati attack.  He is the father of eleven children by his three wives.

Thural has from an early age made it his life’s work to learn everything he can about the secret lore of Lentargi, the spirit that embodies the living energy of all life on Galentor.  He was initiated into the hidden mysteries of the old beliefs of his people on becoming an adult.

His time as leader has seen increasing attacks by Mugati. There are tales from times gone by that the Mugati were secretive animals who did not attack the humans unless disturbed, yet in recent years they have grown increasingly savage.

Even more serious are the intermittent and unpredictable raids by the Robo-Men, known to the tribe as the slaves of the Evil-Ones. Terrifyingly, the Robo-Men often capture some of the tribe to take as replacement Robo-Men and soon Thural and his followers face their former family and friends in further raids.  Very rarely, Thural and his followers even glimpse the Evil-Ones, the Daleks, themselves, usually ontop of their hoverbouts flying over nearby treetops. 

Thural is a hearty man in good health (aside from his broken arm), in the prime of life.  His upbringing and beliefs have given him a heightened awareness of the world around him, and on occasion this provides him with an almost supernatural sense of imminent danger. He usually wears Mugati skins, sandals, and a necklace of small parts of inoperable ancient technology.  He has a certain understated charisma all of his own, based on his natural benevolence, and none of the tribe have ever thought to challenge his leadership..

His belief in Lentargi is unshakeable, as is his determination to lead the tribe through whatever fate, the Evil-Ones and their slaves put in their way.
