Thun'Tal
Leader of the Imara, a tribe of humanoids with sentient lizard mounts that bond to their rider
Appearance
Thun'tal is a bronze-skinned Human with a vibrant green Imar mount. His hair is longer and dark, and usually tied in a bun, and both that and his facial hair have begun to seriously gray. He is thin, only slightly muscular, having spent most of his life not performing physical tasks as a seer.
Thun'tal's Imar is one of the largest in the tribe, a powerful and dangerous lizard that sports vibrant green scales with purple spots scattered here and there that resemble eyes.

Skills and Abilities
Thun'tal is incredibly wise, possessing a great memory and good intuition for most things when it comes to leading the tribe. Most respect him for this alone, but his massive Imar helps his reputation as well. In a fight he is of little use, depending almost entirely on his Imar to do the fighting for him, whom he hardly separates from.
Personality
Cautious and wise, sometimes too much so of the former, Thun'tal is usually authoritative in his decisions and almost always has a solution to any problems the tribe might face. He is emotionally reserved, however, distancing himself from the rest of the tribe and taking his role as leader very seriously. Logic usually wins over passion with him, but he is given to bouts of rage and sorrow that affect his decision-making, especially when members of the tribe are lost.
Biography & Lore
Thun'tal was born into the Imara and became a seer at a young age after demonstrating a natural ability to remember nearly everything he was told. As Harmony teaches, however, one thing given must also take, and shortly after becoming a seer, his parents were both killed in a Yellow Crests raid, leaving the rest of his tutelage to be at the guidance of the rest of the Seers. In time he would become versed in the teachings of Harmony, which helped set his heart at ease.
It was about this time he met his mate and partner, another tribe-born Imaran Forager by the name of Il'pala, a human woman. The two fell in love and it seemed they were fated to be together, but years of fertility issues meant they could bear no children. Despite this, Thun'tal's presence advanced with Il'pala by his side, and the tribe flourished in numbers and success with his guidance. At this time, he was elected by the other Chiefs to become High Chief, a decision which he dreaded due to the nature of Harmony. Sure enough, after becoming High Chief, Il'pala would become pregnant, only to die months after the revelation, leaving him both older and childless to lead the tribe.
Following Il'pala's death, which he blamed on the lack of safe locations for Imarin to give birth in the Wilds, he became hellbent on finding Talifan, the mythical city of Imara folklore where the Imara originated. Even now, his every thought is of bringing the Imara back to their home, and there isn't a force save death itself which could stop him.
