Meet Kudo. His kind also call them Blood Mages or Wild Mages, from tribes that splinter off from the main settlements. In a land where water is scarce and death is one unforeseen disaster away, one must learn to wield one's very lifeblood as a weapon and for nourishment. A man of few words, he seems to have unfinished business with the Cult you've been tracking down.

Kudo's cat-like appearance implies that he or his ancestors used to be part of the Noyakin Tribe.
