Name: Chagatai. Currently goes by Nergüi ("Nameless"). Known in Ulan as the Beggar Khan.
Alignment: Neutral
Class: Military Scout
Race: Human
Age: 27
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 170lbs.
Hair Color/Type: Black, straight, shoulder-length.
Eye Color: Dark Brown, black.
Place of Birth/Nationality: Ulan
Current Residence: Currently in Fa Rei in exile- and hating it.
Physical Description: Nergüi has the blood of Ulan "royalty," and it shows. He has the fierce bearing of a bird of prey, and his moves are swift and assured. He wears a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, at odds with his unkempt clothing and well-worn armaments. He has several scars, including the scars of a whip across his back, which he absolutely refuses to talk about.
Personality: Nergüi was born to rule, but more importantly, to conquer. As such, he has a fierce, imperious bearing, although those he considers worthy are treated as honored brothers. Brought up on notions of Ulan supremacy, he has been astonished by the things he has seen during his time in Fa Rei, and some of his notions have changed accordingly.
Positive Characteristics: Brave, Confident, Calm in a Crisis
Negative Characteristics: Merciless, Driven, Callous
Adventurer Strengths: Skilled Rider, Tactician, and Archer
Adventurer Weaknesses: No mystical skill, distrusts nonhumans, outcast from his own people.
Weapons:
-Horsebow- A powerful recurved bow.
-Saber- A fairly simple affair. Battered, notched, and pitted with rust in places.
-Dagger- Worn at his belt.
Clothing/Armor: Nergüi wears the lamellar armor of his people, although his is in remarkably bad shape.
Power Source: Natural (untrained)
Common Powers:
Shot on the Run - Gains a bonus to archery while moving
Quick Mounter - Can mount/dismount with uncanny speed, able to do so, move and attack in the same turn.
Abilities:
Skirmish
Leading the Charge
Mounted Combat
Usual Inventory: Survival kit, saddlebags, Ulan saddle and steppe pony.
Campaign Inventory:
-Bag of Gold (+1 to wealth score)
-1x magic poison arrow
-Extra quiver of arrows (maximum stock of 10 battles worth of arrows combined with original quiver)
Tactics/Combat Style: Robbed of other Ulan horse archers to make formations with, Nergüi is the master of the lighting attack followed by a feigned retreat. Ruthless and calculating, he has proven capable of adapting some of his tactics for use with formations of Fa Rei or Hoshidon infantry. A dedicated proponent of mobility, he sneers at walls and castles, and is unlikely to agree to the idea of a fixed defensive position.
Origin/Backstory: Chagatai, Son of Yamun, was destined to rule his tribe. However, that changed when his father died during a raid on a neighboring clan. Chagatai's uncle, Gaheris, took the opportunity to seize power, and sought to have his nephew killed. Fortunately or unfortunately, he couldn't persuade the shaman to sanction the outright slaying of Chagatai, so Gaheris had to settle for ritual banishment. Chagatai was stripped of his name, becoming Nergüi, and was then driven out on a single pony, whipped and beaten by the warriors loyal to Gaheris.
Fleeing with a single horse and the clothes in his back, Nergüi barely outpaced his uncle's men, but he couldn't outpace Gaheris' threat that any Ulanese clan offering him sanctuary would be attacked. No other Ulan clan dared take in the "Beggar Khan" for fear of Gaheris' wrath, and Nergüi had to leave the lands of his people.
Since then, he has traveled most of Shyuu, working as a mercenary and occasional bandit, trying to find some way to return and seize his birthright.
