HopoKai

Overview
Hopokai is the king of the Sahuagin and considered the strongest among them. He is generally evil, raiding any ships that pass into his territory for the joy of the hunt and battle, but has respect for those who best him. Hes a strict adherent to the laws of the Sahuagin.

Description
Hopokai is a terrifying sight to behold. He stands at least 2 feet taller even than the tallest among the Sahuagin and has 4 powerful arms each ending with 4 long black claws. He has a mix of blue and green scales that fade into a grey shark-like skin on his back and legs, with large frills all over his body. His eyes are pure black. He is covered head to toe in battle scars, displayed like trophies. He rarely wears clothing outside of ceremonial clothing made of sea-lion skin and a crown made of shells.

Personality
Hopokai is a being of brute force and anger. He lives for the hunt and battle and views anything that isn't strong enough to take him down as either unworthy to live or designed to serve him in becoming stronger. He views power very literally and only respects those who use their brute strength to take him down. He has no respect for casters that aren't clerics of the sea-goddess and will give them the most dishonorable of deaths if he finds them. In his eyes, anyone who won't face him directly in combat is weak.

That being said, those who do take him on, even if they don't win, earn his respect. Anyone who challenges him must be shown hospitality and respect, and anyone who bests him even more so. Breaking these rules is seen as crude and disrespectful, and makes you lower than a coward.

Abilities
He's stronger than most Sahuagain and is a Baron, meaning he has four arms. He has no magical abilities and thinks that's cheating.

Relationship with the Party
He has a deep respect for Summer and views everyone else in the party as essentially subservient slaves of Summer. He won against Summer, but has a deep respect for how far he went to win.

Other Relationships
He has extremely hostile relationships with every non-sahuagin, and every sahuagin is subservient to him. He does not make distinctions by race, however. Anyone who can swim and beat him in a match is worthy of his friendship and everyone else is either prey, slaves in the making, or a fight he has yet to win.

He has particular animosity towards Merfolk and sea elves for being cowards and attacking his people, but any priest/priestess of Laka has his respect.

Current Activities

Religion
Though he may not seem it, Hopokai is very religious. He, like all Sahuagin, worship Laka, the goddess of the sea and wrath, as well as Sekolah, goddess of Sahuagin and daughter of Laka.

All sea creatures have a god or goddess associated with them, who usually started as a demigod then made the race with their mother. Sekolah is known for picking up the more brutal aspects of her mother with rage and sheer force being the most important aspects of her worship.
