Raiko – Tiger Monk

Raiko – Tiger Monk

Beastfolk (Monk)

Coiled in a dynamic martial stance with claws exposed and prayer beads draped across his chest, Raiko balances disciplined poise with raw feline agility. Clad in open-chested martial robes and braced armwraps, his wide-set stance commands immediate authority on the battle grid. Keepers will find this Artifact essential as a martial arts PC, a disciplined monastery guardian, or an unyielding frontline brawler.

Tabletop Lore

Hailing from Zandoriel, Raiko was sold into captivity on Edrador as a cub, destined not to be a servant, but a living weapon. Purchased by the Unseen Wardens, he was offered a choice upon reaching maturity: claim his freedom or remain to fight on behalf of those who had bought his liberty. Choosing the path of the blade and fist, he embraced his training without regret, refining his natural predatory instincts into the ultimate instrument of martial order.

Highlight

The raised palm guard paired with a flowing waist sash and thick feline tail establishes a focused, high-agility silhouette that immediately draws focus in any combat encounter.
