Ketari of the Ashes

A Kilaani hero that emerged during the Kilaanian-Swamp Northerner war. Their detailas have been lost to time, and they are considered a mythical figure by some. The only details known is they typically wore heavy armour and used a large, two-handed sword. The were simply known as "Ketari" until the slaying of the demon Ashu-Karn - after, their skin was supposedly permently blackened by the demon's ash. They were then known as "Ketari of the Ashes".

Notable feats
The first records of Ketari are during the time of the first outbreak of Kilaanian-Swamp Northerner war; they were a mercenary who became highly noted for feats of valour and ablity.

Ketari did not recieve grand recognition until after the second incursion. Having won a tournament to determine the Kingdom of Kilaana's champion, they fought the demon Ashu-Karn's champion at the Battle of the Red Hill (1123). Defeating the rival champion in three blows, the enraged demon ordered it's forces into combat. During the battle, Ketari located and challenged the demon to single combat, slaying it in a feat of arms. The demon's body dissolved into thick grey ash that supposedly coated Ketari, dying their skin a dark grey. Thereafter, they were known as Ketari of  the Ashes.

After the disbandment of the Swamp tribes, Ketari is known to have gone wandering. While they fought and defeated several minor demons, no feats matching their previous triumph are currently known.

Ketari's eventual fate is unknown.
