Saruta is a big, bluff, bearded Tengu with red skin and a booming laugh. He's a warrior and medic who has been on many missions for his House, often including bodyguard duty. Saruta likes to eat, drink and fight, and his long, simian limbs allow him to perform surprising feats of acrobatics. He's immensely proud of his long, straight nose, regarding it as a sign of virility, and is protective of the his team-mates (especially those less well-adapted for combat).

He learned his healing skills from his wife, Uzume (nicknamed the Heavenly Alarming Female), one of the greatest healers outside the Order of Heaven (and mistrusted by those within it as a result). Her mystical, and yet jovial, songs and rays of light take a 'tough love' approach to healing; they push you to face up to your injuries, illnesses and weaknesses, but grant you the strength to resist and accept them. This approach also characterises her and Saruta's marriage... 

The Light of Determination is actually a psionic ability, a fact which would make Saruta and Uzume pariahs throughout the Islands of the Moon if it were revealed. Saruta doesn't know this, but Uzume has a better idea of the source of her healing arts.
