Rukan Zaidi
Rukan Zaidi
Rukan Zaidi is a Human and the sword to the No-Ka Bo-Kas. Rukan was gravely burned for crimes against the Emperor. He is the one responsible for the death of the Osarian Emperor Neb-Ka Sulzain's youngest daughter. He too has a bounty out for his head.
Rukan does not speak. Some believe that his voice cords were burned by the hot air, others think he just think he's taken some kind of vow of silence. Regardless, Rukan and Sadiq Sesay communicate through hand gestures and sign language. It seems Sadiq is one of the few to understand Rukan outside of his family, and even then it has been limited. Because of this, Rukan has developed a deep loyalty to both Sadiq and the rest of the No-Ka Bo-Kas as Sadiq has even taught other members the language.
Rukan is a monk. His monastery was disbanded when Neb-Ka took the throne as the new emperor believed they were a threat to him. Most of the monastery moved elsewhere or away from the capital. Rukan was left behind and survived by himself in silence for awhile until he met the No-Ka Bo-Kas.
