For generations, the name "Tusken Raider" evoked a savage bogeyman to the minds of settlers on Tatooine. The wild tribes from the desert. The monsters who pillaged colonial settlements. But these beings seen as monsters were, in fact, sentients with a name of their own: Ghorfa.
Nearly a thousand years ago, separate groups of Tuskens came into contact with a malevolent spirit in the desert. It first came and laid waste to the Rrhr tribe, wielding a blade of blue fire. Years later, another village was attacked by the spirit, now wearing robes of blackest night and wielding a blade of bloody red. The story of this spirit survived among the survivors of each massacre, or those tribes who had come in contact with such survivors. Over centuries some began to worship this being, and we're exiled from their original tribes.
However, these exiles eventually found one another and formed a tribe of their own. They came to worship the spirit as A'Jawenko, or He-Cloaked-In-Shadow. To show their devotion, this tribe took the flesh of the black melons to dye their robes black. Among the Tuskens, they are called the Blackcloak Tribe.
It is among the Blackcloaks that A'Kotha was born. He was born the son of Kotha, the previous shaman of the tribe. It was from his father that he learned a grand faith in A'Jawenko, and sought to be as fierce as the dark spirit. He became a warrior in his own right, easily becoming one of the prominent raiding leaders of his tribe. He was also seemingly blessed with the ability to bond with creatures, particularly banthas and massiffs.
His rite of passage came when he helped his tribe kill a krayt dragon, claiming one of its teeth for a dagger. He also killed an armored outlander, claiming the armor for himself to further connect himself with A'Jawenko. He now helps lead his tribe, who currently have territory just outside of Mos Taike. With the seeming expulsion of Confederacy occupation, he now seeks to protect his tribe and drive away any other interlopers who settle in dunes of Tatooine.

Strengths
- Warrior: Being born among the Tusken Raiders makes anyone adept at fighting. Particularly, A'Kotha is fierce with his gaffi and a decent shot with a cycler rifle.
- Sand-Born: As a Ghorfa, A'Kotha knows how to survive in the sandy wastes of Tatooine. He knows how to avoid the dangers of the desert, how to hunt for food, and where black melons hide.
- Beast Bonded: A'Kotha has a mild connection to the Force, mainly manifesting as an innate ability to bind with beasts.
Weaknesses
- Xenophobic: Like most Tuskens, A'Kotha hates outlanders of all sorts. He views them as interlopers on the ancestral grounds to all Ghorfa, and stealers of sacred water.
- Awaiting Danger: The combination of aggressive culture and latent Force connection leaves A'Kotha as ticking time bomb for being influenced by the Dark Side and being danger to others unless trained.
