NAZRIK

**Profile**

According to Wildborn prophecy, those with two tails possess two souls, granting them greater strength and courage, as well as the Hunting Goddess' favor. Nazrik never speaks of the prophecy, yet his abilities prove it true. By triumphing in the brutal Bloodhunt Festival at a young age, he received formidable tracking spears from the Hunting Goddess and was hailed as the tribe's mightiest warrior. While many believe that Nazrik's sharp instincts were honed during the Bloodhunt Festival, only he knows the truth it—is pain and hatred that forged his spirit. Nazrik values his convictions and sense of justice above all else, including the Wildborn's traditions and faith in the goddess.

**Notable Bonds**

* Gala - Though Nazrik never shows it, he deeply sympathizes with Gala's fate as a living sacrifice. He finds it absurd that Gala was chosen as the Hunting Goddess' sacrifice merely for being born on the night of the Blood Moon. Yet, seeing Gala's calm acceptance of her destiny, he decided not to intervene. * Hunting Goddess - Nazrik once worshipped the Hunting Goddess devoutly, until he won the Bloodhunt Festival and was bestowed with a divine weapon by her. Since then, though he still kneels to the goddess during rituals, his eyes hold no trace of reverence. * Merlin - Merlin and the Hunting Goddess are worlds apart in personality. When they first met, Nazrik sensed something amiss and became the first to see through Merlini's disguise. Fortunately, Nazrik had long forsaken his faith in the Hunting Goddess at that time. Thus, when Merlin's true identity was exposed, he did not hesitate to take the side of Justice.
