Jinak Highcliff

M Human (Telurian)

The Speaker of The Council. His family were mountaineers who initially explored Crater Lake generations ago. Jinak was part of that tradition and in his younger years had a knack of finding game for hunters as well as other useful aspects of the terrain. It was the clout and connections of that time that led to him becoming a member of the Council. As a member he found it was best to balance his backing of one member or another, which in time led him to becoming The Speaker. Though he is known for his patience and stoicism the various difficulties since the travel from Telur have stressed and frayed him, but like a good rope he holds true. The greatest tet of his mettle so far was the death of his son Zinak who was killed by Krenshar commanded by The Jackals in retribution for the death of the Giant Frogs by a small group of explorers. Not only did he care deeply for his son, he was also grooming him to replace him on The Council and was well liked by all so would likely have been Speaker as well.
