Standing before him was a rather attractive, dark skinned woman with sandy-blonde hair... at least, on her upper half. Her lower half was that of a similarly-golden-brown furred<em>lion.</em>She was dressed in armor, a weapon and shield hanging at her side, arms folded across her chest. "Excellent," she said, as he announced his name... and made no effort to move, before continuing on. "I am Sak'bas-ma'tet, and my tribe's ancestors have directed me to find you and aid you, to prevent a terrible calamity. I am yours to command, O champion of unending anguish."
