Subverted with Ull, who is a massive thuggish caveman, and has a partially-melted face due to Izila fire arrows. Evil Is Sexy: Batari is a bare-breasted Izila woman who looks pretty good for her age (old enough to have had a teenaged son, Krati), and she has some tension with Takkar.Batari ultimately intends to put all of Oros to the flame if it will not cow to her, and tries to start by destroying the Wenja village. Personally castrating a prisoner and laughing as he bleeds out before her, Batari also burned her own son, Krati, alive for crossing her years ago, and propagates the legend of "Krati the Destroyer" returning from the grave to destroy the Izila as a threat to keep her terrified people in line under her.

Alternative Character Interpretation: Many are sympathetic to the plight of the Udam and their leader Ull, given that they are dying of "skull-fire" caused by their cannibalism. ![]()
