WoA Qutai
Qutai's entire tribe, the White Khanate, was decimated by constant fighting against competing tribes in a succession crisis. When the tribal chieftain was slain in battle (after ignoring Qutai's advice) and the host was scattered, Qutai -- the tribe's elderly shaman and adviser -- rescued the chief's son, a youth named Jochi, and gathered what remained of the tribe's fighting men to look for greener pastures.
Qutai is ornery, rude, and has no patience for fools, but as an exceptionally canny and experienced warrior, his word carries great weight and the men respect him for saving them from certain death after their last defeat. Jochi leads the remainder of the host but he takes his cues from the old shaman who speaks not only to the great sky spirit but to the horses of the tribe's herd, without which they have nothing.
