Whenua is the Chieftan of the Harakoan People. Acting as a representative of all tribes, he was originally a peacekeeper for various tribal groups before rising to the position of representative for Harakoan-Tythonian relations. He held this position until 37 ABY, when the planet was conquered and the Harakoan people decimated. He was imprisoned in Purity Rock, and remains there to this day, alongside former ally Gideon Varos.

Characteristics

Personality

Once a hard-liner for Harakoan traditionalism, Whenua had gradually shifted toward a shared-world perspective before the invasion of the Thuron Monarchy. Having been forced together with his own kind and those Cy deemed traitors en masse, his perspectives have changed wildly, while his feelings toward the Jedi have gone from seeing them as well-intentioned outsiders to accepting them as the protectors they need to be. He is known to pray for their return daily, while still working to keep his people strong and alive.

Always a natural leader, Whenua's hardships have made his resolve a will of iron, and cemented his belief in the continuation of the Harakoan people. Furthermore, he has been thrust moreso than anyone into the obvious fact that the Harakoans are not alone in the universe, and are hilariously outgunned by all modern standards; slowly, through interaction with the Jedi and Gideon, he has been shifting toward the opinion that Harakoan society largely needs to become more modern. Even so, he is one of the loudest voices against their total assimilation into modern society, and thinks that the tribes can adapt without losing their identity.

Physical Appearance

Whenua is a tall Harakoan, sturdy of build and rugged of feature. His missing arm has not lent itself to weakness, and rather has made the Chieftan stronger than ever before, hence his ability to hold on to power and influence. Though once hale and healthy, he has seen some heavy weight loss within Purity Rock, and has seen some inevitable atrophy and sickness due to the experience. However, despite sunken eyes and weakening limbs, he retains more strength and command than most of his peers, thanks largely to the actions of Gideon Varos.

Trivia

• Whenua is one of Odan-Urr's oldest NPCs, featuring in some of their earliest events.
• Until the Fall of New Tython, Whenua was largely undefined, seeing more fleshing out as part of the event's Saga.
• New developments for the Harakoan people will see Whenua's place in Odan-Urr mythology rapidly evolve and grow.
