A Nekorian “samurai”, wandering the lands of Shaeral alone. Rantaba searches for the perpetrator responsible for the destruction of his clan as one final service to his family.

Zuko Rantaba, like many of his brothers in the Rantaba clan, was rigorously trained and taught to become a fierce, yet honorable warrior ever since he was a mere cub. The “Eight Virtues” has served as a guiding principle for the Rantaba clan and Zuko was prepared to continue his family’s legacy; or so he thought. Following the Great Nekorian Schism, the Rantaba clan was forced to relocate with diminished numbers. The loss of many of his friends, family, and plans to join the Nekorian military left him greatly distressed, but he pushed forward. Once settled in, Zuko was assigned to be one of the clan’s watchmen to protect the settlement from outsiders. He served with determination, and it wasn’t til long that his blade met with that of numerous bandits and raider groups. However, not all interactions ended in honorable bloodshed, as his arts in diplomacy matched that of his skill in combat.
 
A few decades would pass before that fateful day, when a mysterious group approached the village. As Zuko approached the supposed leader of the group, he felt a strange sensation before falling unconscious. Upon awakening, he was met with the complete destruction of his village. Homes were reduced to rubble and ash, and bodies of his dead brothers and sisters lay scattered about. He would come across a handful of survivors and escort them to the nearby Ahani clan settlement for refuge. For his failure to protect his village the only suitable punishment for a Nekorian warrior would have been suicide to preserve his family’s honor. He would successfully negotiate with the survivors that he would pursue the perpetrators responsible as one final act for his family. Three years have passed since his exile as he continues his mission, travelling the lands of Shaeral for answers.
