Nokosi is one of the many Native Americans of Saint's Crossing.
History
Early Life
Nokosi is a Native American man with a Cherokee father and Seminole mother. Nokosi grew up with his father as his only family member after his mother died of childbirth complications.
The tribe that he lived with was a nomadic one; they originally followed the buffalo but kept the same route even after the herds were thinned out. The tribe itself traveled from North Carolina to Ohio.
Around the age of 15, tragedy struck his tribe when a settlement of bandits attacked. The tribe was unaware of the settlement's nature, they had both kept to themselves besides making the occasional trade. By the time they discovered they were dangerous outlaws, it was too late. This raid ultimately scattered the tribe. Nokosi is one of many lost members of the tribe. During the chaos, he sacrificed himself to let his adopted sister Tarlo run free from an outlaw attempting to harm her. He killed the outlaw in the fight but fell unconscious due to his injuries.
When he woke up, Nokosi found himself in the care of an American middle-aged couple. They discovered his unconscious body laying against a tree near where the husband hunted. Due to his condition, they believed that after the fight Nokosi must have walked for miles until passing out.
Although thankful for the care, Nokosi was quite withdrawn from the couple for some time. He hid in the stable with a wild horse the couple had rescued and eventually became the one to tame the horse for the family. They allowed him to keep it as his own. He named the horse Namid meaning “Star Dancer”, and it ended up being the horse he brought to the Crossing.
Nokosi warmed up to the family and lived with them for five years, where they taught him more English and how to write. He figured out that they were never able to bear a child, which is why they never forced him to leave even after his injuries had healed.
Despite getting to have a new family, Nokosi still had bitterness in his heart towards the greedy people who took advantage of his tribe's kindness. At the age of 20 he left his family to find answers. He didn't know if he would find them but he hoped to at least find peace within himself, whether that meant becoming the people he feared or letting his vengeance find the answers for him.
In the end, he never went back to his lands. He left in the dark of night, not telling the family that took him in that he was leaving. Packing only what he needed, he took Namid and left for good. He traveled aimlessly until he found himself in Blackwater.
