Ural Lukroft

 Ural Lukroft (b. April 12, 6232) is an apprentice Fatusian sorceror who was trained and raised by Sek'hai Khigal. He harbored a bitter hatred for Astrusian mages because of Sek'hai's teachings, but after his encounters with Diatyallah Gatti and her allies, his opinion of them has become neutral at best. It is unclear if Ural survived the events of To Touch the Sky, but if so, his whereabouts are unknown.

Personality
Having depended only on Sek'hai his entire life, he is very obedient of the old man. He follows orders precisely and expects punishment from his failures. Ural looks on other life, especially Astrusian mages, with certain disdain. He sees the Wraiths of Carul as pawns for Sek'hai's use and cares nothing for him. It is only after his talk with Duncan Cairn that his heart begins to soften to others.

Bio
Nothing is known about Ural's life or family before meeting Sek'hai. He was part of a nomadic group of humans travelling through the Allied Tribes of Carul when his caravan was attacked by beast men. His family and the other members of the group were slaughtered, and Ural was only saved because Sek'hai happened to come across the incident. Sek'hai took pity on Ural and took him in, leading Ural to become heavily attached to the sorceror. When he became of age, Ural began to learn sorcery from Sek'hai, as well as the prejudiced teachings against Erebia Village and the remaining Astrusian mages.

After Amadeus Morgan inspired Sek'hai to use the power of a demon to get revenge against Erebia, Ural helped his master along with the Wraiths in tracking down Oki the Wise to capture a stolen incantation. Instead, the incantation was hidden in a pocket watch and unknowingly taken by Diatyallah Gatti, an Astrusian mage. Several attempts to reclaim the watch from her proved useless, much to Ural's anger. At last, he was given a rite of passage by his master: singlehandedly capture the pocket watch and kill Diatyallah and her allies. Though he came close, Ural was defeated with the combined efforts of Krop and Fenris Bartok. Having failed, he was abandoned to die by his master.

Now in the hands of the enemy, Ural resigned on living. However, he was inspired by Diatyallah and Duncan to continue on without his master and to let go of his misguided hatred of Astrusian mages. Ural brought the group to Sek'hai's lair but refused to fight his former master. After Sek'hai loses himself to the demon, Ural returns to help Diatyallah to fight it, citing that what they are fighting is no longer his master. In the fight, Ural is gravely injured and believed dead. The following morning, his body had disappeared and his fate left unknown. Diatyallah believed that he may have survived, and wished him well on his new path in life.
