Chief Feathers

The former chief of a band of fighters from rocky Accipra, Chief Feathers has kept the title – as well as a watch over his homeland.

Hearing about an artefact of untold power, Chief Feathers instantly took up the position of Exemplar. With his people driven to near extinction by decades of war, success as Accipra’s Exemplar could finally end Chief Feathers’ watch. With a newfound resolve, Chief Feathers donned his old headdress and set off in search of this artefact.

But underneath his heroic exterior lays a dark secret. Whispers of this artefact have dredged up painful memories for Chief Feathers, of a time where he failed in his role as his tribe’s protector. While he is no spring chicken, the fire burns inside Chief Feathers as he seeks to write the wrongs of his past.
