Prince Taktu is an NPC in the Wealth Of The World game. He's the Kushan Governer of Kambu, a city at the north end of Khyber pass.

He's fat, corrupt, and possibly not nearly as stupid as he looks. He worships Zeus, Buddda, and Kirsna indifferently, and has a great hatred for Mithra, for reasons unclear. Taktu is in his early fifties and grey bearded, and getting more than a little bald. He's also fattening up, but still practices with the sword and rides his horse daily.

He also rides his mistresses daily and loves his wife Badia too! He's very charming and considerate of all his women, including his many spoiled rotten daughters. His son Tolmos, alas is a disappointment. He looks to his sons-in-law, current and future, to hold his office in his old age, taking up the burdens of governance.

Taktu is a 12th level (at least) aristocrat, with good charisma and strength, but indifferent wisdom, dextarity, and constitution.

Taktu is a cousin of the Kushan Ceaser. He was sent to Kambu in a cloud of now forgotten scandel, some 30 years ago. Twice each year, He entertains the court as Ceaser travels between his winter and summer courts. Taktu profits greatly from trade passing through on the Silk Route. Alas, the Trade Bosses seem to have more wealth and power than he.

Perhaps the PCs can help him with his many problems?
