Rajiv: “Hah! What have we to fear from this child?”

Naja: “Put him down! Look around you! This is no common destruction, Rajiv. Until we learn what happened here, we had best tread lightly.”

Meet Naja

Likes: Reading, games of wit, and planning one step ahead.

Dislikes: Rushing headfirst, hubris, and slander towards his heritage.

Naja is a member of the World Salvation Committee – a group built to defend the world and society as ruled by the ferals from those who would seek to do it harm. (Namely, Morte, Kyrie, and the World Annihilation Front).

A brilliant thinker and just as skilled in combat, Naja is actually a half-breed – born to a feral father – the late Lupus Rex – and a human mother. Even though the stereotypes that divide the ferals from the humans run deep, Naja held a strong love for his mother, even in the midst of constant insults about his impure blood or his “mutt” status in society. While other ferals often view him as a lesser of their kin, his prowess in battle and his father’s old rank have earned him a fair bit of respect.

That respect has come at a cost, however. Rajiv, the son of the current Lupus Rex, silently sees Naja as a potential threat. Though the two are old friends, Rajiv never misses a chance to remind Naja of the weak human blood that is mixed within his veins. Beyond their differences, Naja and Rajiv are still a team, setting off to stop Morte, the Scarlet Plague – and anyone else who would join her cause to destroy the world.

Calm and almost always in control of the situation, Naja will soon be forced to think about the hybrid human and feral blood that flows within him – and make a difficult decision to find his own true answers.
