![[ZakirPathfinder.png]] # Za'kir _Githyanki Scout | Vlaakith's Void Fleet | [[Astral Plane]]_ ## Summary A proud githyanki scout who survived the massacre of his warband in [[Shilrua]] and helped the heroes defeat the [[Cacophony]]. Son of Riptide Marshal [[Zy'kara]], he infiltrated [[Shilrua]] to investigate illithid activity but discovered too late they faced an Elder Brain fused with the city's mythal. Only his ancestral pendant shielded him from corruption. His tactical knowledge proved crucial in the [[Cacophony]]'s defeat. During their alliance, he developed an awkward romantic interest in [[Ophelia]], approaching courtship with characteristic githyanki directness that amused and bewildered the party. Has returned to the Astral Plane with freed commander [[Rraka'oth]] but owes the heroes a debt of honor. %% ## At a Glance Tall, wiry githyanki with bronze skin and angular features. Prominent scar across his right cheek. Red-bronze armor bears intricate githyanki markings. Ancestral Mind's Echo pendant at his throat. ## Personality Arrogant and dismissive of non-githyanki yet surprisingly honorable. Tactically brilliant but socially inexperienced with romance. Speaks with clipped, authoritative tones. Frequently references his lineage and rank. Becomes awkwardly formal when discussing personal matters. ## Quote _"Among my people, those of superior bloodlines seek genetic partnerships with others of similar martial prowess. I hereby formally notify you that you have been selected."_ ## Stats **Githyanki Knight**. %%
