Biography

Dumbara was the greatest hunter/tracker of the Ontswa tribe. He was also their fiercest warrior and represented his tribe as its champion during competitions with other tribes. The notoriety caused Dumbara to become prideful and mean spirited. During one of the competitions, Dumbara was being bested by one of the young warriors from a neighboring tribe. The young warrior idolized Dumbara, and expressed this to the water bearer. The water bearer, who himself had been victimized by Dumbara, felt that he did not deserve such adoration, and twisted the young man’s words making it sound like the warrior was being disrespectful. Once a new match began, Dumbara in his rage killed the young warrior with one blow. Sickened by his attitude and behavior, the tribal elders banished Dumbara to the harsh unknown of the forest, having him stripped, beaten, and branded as a reminder of what he had become. As Dumbara lay naked, bleeding, and dying from starvation on the jungle floor, he felt deep remorse for his actions. He was ashamed of what his anger had caused, and wished for another chance to make things right. When death came, Dumbara begged for absolution, vowing his service for eternity for the opportunity to right the wrong done against his tribe. He was granted his wish and brought back as the tribe’s eternal protector.
