Shak Rah
Shak Rah is a Dragonborn warrior who was born to the peaceful clan of Kusate in the Frozen Expanse. Superstitious humans from the small town of Arsel learned of his peaceful clan's existence. Arsel grew fearful of the dragonborn as dragonborn clans in the Frozen Expanse are usually known for their ruthlessness. The humans launched a preemptive attack against Clan Kusate and nearly killed them all except for young Shak Rah. Blinded by rage, Shak Rah picked up his family's katana and cut down the invaders. Without his clan, Shak Rah wandered the frozen wastelands with his katana, now called Dragon's Fang.
His rage at the injustice of humanity brought him to slaughter any human man that crossed his path. At some point, Shak Rah overcame his rage and realized the error of his ways. If his clan was alive, they wouldn't accept the monster he had become. Pledging to make up for his crimes, Shak Rah swore an oath to not kill and begun looking for ways to help others. Eventually, his strange appearance and adventuring landed him in a Boriss prison along with Karissa, Luther, and Czimor. The four escaped and with the help of Yoren, stopped the Cult of Reclamation from controlling Boriss and Frasnir. At the end, they were betrayed by Luther who pledged his service to the Demon Lord Zoul, the Corruptor. In a titanic battle, Shak Rah and his companions slayed the betrayer.
Some months later, Shak Rah was integral in brokering peace between the Pirates of the Vast Sea and the Dawn Alliance. However, much like his old companions, Shak Rah began having nightmares of the Dark Reality. The dragonborn would soon keep to his own room on the Maelstrom as madness slowly creeped in. However, he did maintain enough sanity to help defeat the powerful Desert Tyrant. Later, Darius nearly killed Shak Rah and left the dragonborn bleeding out. His friends saved him in time, but Shak Rah's mental state had only grown worse.
He is currently on the Maelstrom in the Light Reality.
Dark Reality
In the Dark Reality, the heroes failed to stop Luther/Zoul and instead the demon lord corrupted them just as he had corrupted Luther. Shak Rah became one of Lord Zoul's fearsome military leaders and is now known as "The General." Per conversations with Darius, this evil Shak Rah helped train him how to fight.Remove these ads.
