Ik'krt

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Ik'krt is the nezumi who was once a Rememberer with the Shadow Runners Tribe. The proud tribe became involved with human affairs, aiding the Crab in the War of Spirits, but were destroyed. When Ik'krt joined the Grasping Paw Tribe subsequently, he withheld the information that he was the Rememberer of the Shadow Runners Tribe, and was content to work as a scrounger.

[edit] Mysterious Shaman

During his travels, he ran into a mysterious shaman who told him that he would one day be called for special service to his race. Ik'krt did not know at the time how important this warning would be. Not long afterwards, he and party of his Grasping Paw scavengers happened across the scene of a great battle, with hordes of corrupted Stained Paw Tribe and Tsuno devestating the Crippled Bone Tribe. Convincing his group that the Nezumi must either live or die together, they ran to the aid of the flailing Crippled Bone. They had been collecting jade from the fallen Crab warriors, and these weapons proved quite capable of fighting the Tsuno, who had been impervious to harm prior to Ik'krt's intervention. With the Crippled Bone Chieftain Te'tik'kir currently indisposed (defending Kan'ok'ticheck from a similar threat), the Grasping Paw had saved a tribe from complete eradication.

[edit] = Te'tik'kir

After the Stained Paw and their demonic allies retreated, Te'tik'kir and Kan'ok'ticheck returned looking exhausted, wounded, but alarmed at the destruction the Crippled Bone had faced. Ik'krt recognized Te'tik'kir as the strange shaman from earlier, and later on that evening he was approached by Te'tik'kir, who thanked him for his intervention but regreted that he had to give Ik'krt an impossible duty. Te'tik'kir surprised Ik'krt by knowing that Ik'krt was a Rememberer of the Shadow Runners, not just a simple scavenger, and tasked him with using his combination of talents to scout out the heart of the Shadowlands to see what the Tsuno and Stained Paw were up to. Ik'krt accepted the mission, and remains dedicated to the Nezumi race.

[edit] Stained Paw

Ik'krt became the chieftain of what remained of the Stained Paw Tribe after they were freed from the control of the Tsuno andthe shaman Ikm'atch-tek.
