Yobo (Thakazum’s PC)

Yobo is small mutant lizard that lives in the wild by himself. When standing upright he is 1′ tall and his tail is another 1 ½’. He is curious and enjoys exploring the wilderness in search of interesting things to find. For most of his life he stuck to his wilderness range and avoided contact with ‘civilized’ folks.

One day while travelling near an Affiliation village he heard a scream. Investigating he saw a small child about to be attacked by a Kamata. Yobo killed the Kamata and saved the child. Following this event, many of the villagers believe that Yobo is a good luck dragon. Yobo has seen no need to persuade them otherwise and is happy to accept offerings of free food, gold and trinkets. In fact, Yobo’s not sure he isn’t a dragon – he’s never met another one. Yobo’s ‘hoard’ is divided up and hidden in a couple different stashes in the wilderness.

Yobo is becoming quite taken with the whole dragon persona. He claims to be over 5,000 years old (actually 14) and will hold ‘audiences’ with the believer villagers and offer his wisdom on their problems and occasionally serves as a guide for expeditions into the wilds. While quite capable of defending himself, Yobo could be in trouble if the wrong person grows tired of his act or decides a dragon would make a great pet.

Recently, Yobo has accompanied Gene Siskin on his journeys. It through this association with Gene that Yobo has become involved with the Expedition.
