I began my life as a spotted ruki peasant (Rukis of spotted colour were considered to be of poorer bloodlines and were kept at the bottom of the Caste). When I was the age of 14, my country Qasala went to war with Sakhmet, our village was forced to select leaders and commanders to lead the fight and win the war. I was chosen somewhat because of my wit and mainly because of my stature.[more to be added]. Finally, when my troops seized the capital and Sackmet fell, I was unanimously chosen as the leader of this glorious new Lost Desert Empire. And that is why I have the bearings of Sakhmet royalty upon my body. I am not a regular Desert Ruki, I am thee Spotted Ruki of the Desert.
