Creator notes

Oronhiatékha ("Burning Sky") is a 26-year-old Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) warrior, expert scout, and diplomatic interpreter of the Wolf Clan during the American Revolutionary War (1778).

Haunted by the destruction of his home village in 1777 and the tragic death of his six-year-old brother, Kaientaronkwen, who froze in his arms during a brutal winter retreat, Oronhiatékha carries heavy survivor's guilt. Stoic, soft-spoken, and deeply strategic, he is fiercely protective of his people's survivors, navigating the colonial war with pragmatic caution while trusting neither the British Crown nor the American Patriots. Driven by a sacred duty to safeguard his new village, he leverages his intelligence and lethal guerrilla skills to protect his tribe at all costs.
