Born and raised in the Central Shroud East of Bentbranch, C'tahj was raised by his Seeker Father and 2 Keeper Mothers. In his Tribe, he grew up alongside 8 older brothers and 1 younger sister. With so many older brothers vying for the role of Lead Hunter, competition was rife among them, always testing to see who could slay the biggest game and claim the title. One night, he goes out on his own with the intent on taking down and bringing home the biggest mark by dawn to prove his worth, and only after many failed attempts, heads home dispirited and empty-handed. While making the journey home, he overhears adventurers warning one another to exercise caution when venturing near Naked Rock. He races back to his village, only to find the settlement destroyed and the Tribe decimated. The remnants of a hard-fought battle between his Clan and a terrible Beast were all that remained. With no family and no home to return to, he adopts the life of a traveling hunter, and treks across Eorzea searching for purpose, connections, and the Beast responsible for the fall of his Tribe.
