Shevar is ancient by feral standards: scarred, salt-furred, partially deaf, and nearly blind in one eye. He wanders abandoned cliff settlements speaking to cats who no longer exist. He still braids his tail traditionally, though most beads now belong to dead relatives.



He is terrifying to encounter because he rarely speaks anymore. His thoughts default into Esh'mharel, causing his speech to sound fragmented and ceremonial.



When frightened, exhausted, or emotional, he completely loses the ability to communicate in any tongue other than his native one.



He constantly repeats ancestral names so they are not “truly dead.”
