Brief bio: Yadokkya grew up in the wilds of northwestern Shaaloani with their mother, Muhukwi, and elder sister, K’oshi. Their father, Donashi, was around only every few years, traveling between his two families. Their people made their home in the mountains surrounding the mines of Tonatenyawi. They spent much of their life as a miner under Muhukwi’s tutelage, learning everything they could about the geology of their lands. K’oshi likewise taught them how to turn iron into machines, and Donashi gifted them their first gun when they reached adulthood and taught them how to use it. Their free time was spent exploring the Wilds, often with their Hhetsarro friend, Maahe, in tow, or smithing and building contraptions with their sister. One day, Chalawisho, K’oshi’s merchant girlfriend, relayed to them a job offer from the miner’s guild of Ul’Dah, which they took. The job was only to deliver rare minerals from the “New World,” but they decided to journey across the salt for more job opportunities. They then spent the next four years doing various mining jobs around Thanalan until they met a Xaela named Ark and joined their adventure after the fall of Titan. They traveled together until after the attack on Rhalgr’s Reach, where they stayed behind to oversee events in Ala Mhigo while Ark dealt with the East. They then help with rebuilding Ala Mhigo and protecting people as needed when Ark is taken to The First. The two were reunited afterwards and combated the Final Days together. Ark retired to live with their wives, leaving the mantle of Warrior of Light to Yadokkya. They travel back to their homeland as part of Wuk Lamat’s entourage, but ends up falling in love with one of her rivals.

Partner(s): Erenville
Brief bio: Dumplingway was raised by loporrits on Mare Lamentorum. He served as an envoy to Sharlayan for their exodus preparations. He has an affinity for celestial magics, so he picked up Sharlayan astrology during his time there. He also met Erenville, who inspired him to become a gleaner. His specialty is strange plants and he has a fondness for lunatender blossoms and carnivorous plants especially. He is apprenticing under Erenville to learn how to be a gleaner, and during their travels they became close and eventually partners.
While he is not a WoL and does not experience the events of the main story (up until Dawntrail, when he joins Erenville in Tural), he does have a faint echo that lets him see bits of the future, albeit rarely. It was Hydaelyn’s will that he was brought to the moon as an infant, since, unbeknownst to him, he is a reincarnation of The Watcher.

Partner(s): none permanent (for his personal benefit, ditches them when they’re no longer useful)
Brief bio: A particularly violent voidsent, Neit [pron. netch] arrived in the Source via a gate opened by the Void Ark. He possessed the corpse of an adventurer that perished trying to uncover the Ark’s secrets. Using his new body, he returned with the adventuring party to the Parrock, where he seduced Leofard in order to get closer to his goals. In his arrogance, he snuck aboard the Lady Radlia for a chance to kill a voidsent more powerful than himself–Diabolos. However, he lost the opportunity when Cait Sith vanquished Diabolos. He now wanders the realm, luring victims in with his beauty before depriving them of their aether. He favors the greatsword for combat, but also has no qualms about using his sharp claws and teeth to kill.
His original form on The Thirteenth was that of a gray-skinned Miqo'te. He was a soldier in the Contramemoria, known for his fearsomeness in battle. However, he was standoffish and preferred to work alone. He eventually succumbed to the allure of the darkness and was twisted by the Flood into a feral beast, doing anything it took to try and survive.
The body he possesses was named Eldgjá, a viera from the Dravanian Forelands who traded his hunts with the people of Tailfeather. In return, he learned stories of adventurers and decided to become one as well. At first, he hunted for clients, but he was eager to prove himself. And so he answered the call to explore the Void Ark, where he was slain in battle.
