Ruus Dhakaan

Ruus Dhakaan is the chieftain of the Kech Shaarat clan of hobgoblins , based in the Seawall Mountains , Darguun . [3] [1] [2] [4]

Possessions

Ruus is the possessor of the Skai Shaarat , called the Great Blade and the Sword of the True King , a legendary artifact left over from the Empire of Dhakaan . [3] [1] [2] However, Ruus feels he has no right to wield the Sword of the True King until all the Dhakaani clans are united under his rule [2] and he has proven his right to rule through conquest. [3] Ruus favors a spiked chain until that time. [2]

Activities

And Ruus is intent on achieving his ambition; [2] his Kech Shaarat have defeated and absorbed three lesser clans [note 1] already and he seeks to conquer or unite the rest, believing it inevitable. [3] [2] Then he shall move onto the Ghaal'dar , and then reestablish the Dhakaani Empire and become a great power in Khorvaire . [2]

For now, however, they follow the Lhesh Haruuc Shaarat'kor , but Ruus reigns supreme in their mountain home. [3]

Personality

Ruus is cunning and understanding of the power he wields. [2]

Abilities

He is an expert in the spiked chain and Kech Shaarat's skirmishing combat style, in which he quickly charges foes and uses footwork to flank them. With the chain, he can trip, shift, and snare opponents. He also fights with shuriken and wears scale armor. [2]
