#dahara

Dahara has been with the Khajiit caravans since birth, never taking root in Elsweyr. for his whole adult life he's been a guard for the traveling traders, fighting off bandits and hostile wildlife as they traverse Tamriel. he was never a Khajiit of many words, but his actions spoke well for him. much of his personal fulfillment was helping the caravans thrive--he would help count coin, braid the cubs' hair, use magic and alchemy to heal the sick or wounded, and offer a listening ear to both business and personal affairs. some came to see him as a paternal figure, others simply basked in the safe shadow of the one-cat shield wall of the community.

as he got older, he started to feel restless; no matter how much he loved traveling with the pack he felt more and stronger urges to choose where he wanted to go next. so, as his caravan set up camp just outside of markarth, he broke the news that he'd be retiring to live a wandering life on his own, exploring the cultures and environments more deeply without the tether to a community that depended on him staying put. they of course mourn his departure, but support him nonetheless. the head of the main vendor family in his caravan offered a traveling pack of high quality goods plus a new set of armor as a retirement gift.

his first goal as an unbound mage-style fighter is to deal with the saints and seducers bandit plaguing Ri'saad's caravan routes, but he is by no means a hurried khajiit and quickly finds himself pulled into adventure from all directions.

he is not particularly interested in saving the world as Dragonborn, but he begrudgingly goes along with it in the name of restoring peace.
