Matu Morok is a high-ranking knight in the Tajj Netan military, bound by the sword to the Emperor Lyanok the Wise. Matu is known by many as the Pangolin Knight due to the unique, scaled heavy armor that he wears, which mirrors the body armor of a pangolin. At age 29, he is one of the youngest and most impressive knights serving the empire, and has garnered a reputation as a brilliant strategist and master-at-arms. His most notable deed to date has been the suppression of the Utaszu Rebellion.
