Hatii the Thunderer
Overview
One of the most powerful Jamak, this Elephant-spirit rarely chooses allies among catkind. There’s too much bad blood between his protected cousins and the predatory cats. He will never choose a Simba ally, for it’s been said that in the early years following the Impergium, the children of Akuma hunted elephants for fun. Hatii never forgives a slight, nor does he forget an act of kindness. To the Khan, he’s a valued ally, a strong and wise friend who gifts his chosen few with tough skin and an excellent memory.

Favors
It takes an outstanding act of courage or Wisdom to attract Hatii’s attention; werecats who heroically defend elephant herds, especially from other werecats, are his favorite allies. To them, this spirit grants an additional two points of Stamina in battle. This bonus only appears during a fight, and fades when that specific fight ends. Additionally, he may gift the werecat with the Photographic Memory Merit for one specific event per story, and occasionally offers a hint to some puzzle which confounds the Bastet (An “under-the-table” hint from the Storyteller might comes through as the elephant’s guidance). On the grasslands of Africa or India, a herd of elephants might intervene to save one of Hatii’s chosen from death.
Ban
Hatii’s allies must defend herds of his cousins whenever possible, and should hunt down and kill anyone who murders an elephant for sport or ivory.
