Ankum

Ankum is an ancient warrior and a member of the Society of Guardians.

Biography
Much of Ankum's life is a mystery, though it is known he trained a number of warriors in the ways of combat, including a Jungle Agori named Lekrex, and the Water Tribe warrior Inzek.

After the Core War erupted, Ankum was enlisted as a soldier, though which tribe he fought for is currently unknown. After the Shattering occurred, Ankum made his home somewhere within the Black Spike Mountains, though eventually relocated to a spot just north of the abandoned city of Roxtus.

Society of Guardians
At some point in the past, Ankum was approached by a member of the secretive Society of Guardians, and was recruited into the group as one of their Bara Magna operatives. He was later paired with a fellow Glatorian named Drezdak, and tasked with keeping an eye on major events that unfolded on his world.

More recently, Ankum sent one of his allies, Inzek, to infiltrate the ranks of the Skrall Skirvex, who Ankum suspected of being behind the Glatorian Abductions. When she returned and revealed how Skirvex enslaved warriors, she explained to Ankum and Drezdak that if she found the banished Skrall Verex, who had saved her life several years ago, or any of his companions undergoing the process that would convert them to Skirvex's, she would rescue them no matter what. Ankum proceeded to comfort Drezdak, who felt somewhat uncertain about what Inzek might attempt to do.

Abilities and Traits
A wise and calm person by nature, Ankum acts as a mentor to several of the people he has met in his life. He knows how to dispel fear and doubt in others and keep them in a positive mood.

As a master of combat, Ankum, despite his advanced age and frail appearance, is a force to be respected in battle. He is gifted in swordplay, and can fire his Thornax Launcher with frightening accuracy.

Though still a hardy warrior, Ankum's advanced age forces him to stay away from combat when he is able, so he usually carries only a simple staff. When he has to do battle, however, he is known to wield a curved sword and a Thornax Launcher.

Trivia
