Characters notes

Gultarn the Red is a warrior of the tribe on Galentor.  His role is to fight to protect them, and he has fought many battles against the Mugati, the other tribes on Galentor and on occasion, even against the slaves of the Evil Ones (the Robo-Men).  

He carries a sword that has been handed down to him through his family on his father’s side from decades ago.  Although he doesn’t know, the sword was originally manufactured shortly after the initial Dalek invasion over a hundred years ago.  The human settlers at the time realised they were under attack, and in desperation, fashioned weapons from whatever was to hand with their last supplies of fuel and energy. Little of this weaponry survives, and Gultarn’s sword is one of the few remaining pieces from this period. It is quite crude, and due to its age, the blade is somewhat brittle.

He is referred to as “the Red” due to the long red cloak he habitually wears, often with the hood up.  His mother had long, lustrous red hair and so the colour red has always been important to him.

As well as great physical strength and fortitude, Gultarn is immensely brave, and would gladly sacrifice his life for his tribe, which he considers to be his extended family.  He wholeheartedly accepts the mythology of his tribe and the leadership of Thrual.
