Relationships

Family

• Torko Urumet - Rhaga's father, a famed archer among the Urumet who died in battle against an unknown encroaching tribe of Xaela. He was also a poet and had wild, sandy blonde hair, earning him the nickname "the Lion." Apparently Rhaga looks very much like him.
• Tara Urumet - Rhaga's older sister, a warrior in Torko's warband. She perished in the same battle as her father.
• Lhara Urumet - Rhaga's mother, a warrior of unmatched skill with the battle axe. She resided in the desert homeland of the Urumet and was one of the Elders that sent Rhaga to Eorzea. Lhara trained her son in combat with axe, spear, and sword, and prepared him in the use of heavier plate armor he'd find in the new world. Rhaga was close to his mother, training with her almost every day and trying to learn of the outside world from her when he could. She presumeably died in an Urumet ceremony that marked Rhaga as an Elder himself, passing on her power.

Friends and Lovers

• Kaya Kimiko - A strange Raen that was briefly a part of Rhaga's surrogate tribe when he first came to Eorzea as a refugee. Though she seemed to disappear into the evening one night, when Rhaga returned to Eorzea years later, he once again connected with her. Kaya has a keen sense of the otherworldly, and Rhaga often comes to her for matters involving the Aether and Void. When Rhaga started having side effects from carrying the Urumet Elder Mantles, Kaya was able to help him deal with the aetheric energy inside, and ever since the two have become friends.

• Esva Kagon - A fellow desert dweller of Othard, Esva and Rhaga were very much alike in their naivety of Eorzean language and culture when they first migrated. Like most of his current friends, Rhaga met Esva as they tried to pull together a disparate group of Xaela into a tribe. Though they failed some of their loftier goals at first, the pair still worked to form a family in Eorzea. One of their defining moments was when Esva first gave Rhaga a fate card reading, predicting change in Rhaga's life. The reading strengthened his resolve and allowed him to really learn more about Eorzea and his new home. In turn, when Esva was once captured by an ex-Garlean, Rhaga led a war party of their comrades to her rescue. Over the years Rhaga and Esva have become best friends, coming to each other's aid more than a few times. For most of their time together, Esva was engaged to a Hyur man, and Rhaga held an unrequited love for his friend. Now though, Esva is no longer engaged, and some suppressed feelings for Rhaga may be coming to the surface.

• Ari Kagon - Sister to Rhaga's best friend, Esva, Ari was another member of Rhaga's surrogate tribe on Eorzea. Compared to Rhaga, Ari fell into the Eorzean lifestyle easily, and spent her time with a mercenary group that Rhaga often worked with. There was always something a little off about Ari from Rhaga's perspective, a dark presence seemed to follow her around, but he was never able to truly understand the nature of her problem before he was forced to go on the run. Leaving Ari without helping her has always been one of his largest regrets, though she probably never knew it. Since returning to Eorzea, Rhaga has already made strides in understanding what happened to Ari, and plans to put a permanent end to her problems as soon as he can.

• Yhah Dazkar - Another Au Ra who worked with Rhaga to try and unite their people. She was gravely injured by one of their kind at the time, and it made Rhaga realize that a Xaela tribal structure would not work here in Eorzea. Rhaga sees Yhah as a little sister in many ways, and has been willing to go to great lengths to keep her safe and happy ever since her injury. After a particularly harrowing adventure in Ishgard, Rhaga lost touch with Yhah as the latter ran off with a prominent Ishgardian Holy Book. After a year apart though, the pair reconnected and have started to mend their rocky friendship.

• Rynn and Shizohko Ittetsu - Rhaga first met Rynn and fought alongside him as one of the few Hyurs originally accepted into his Eorzean Xaela Tribe. Though Rynn was quiet and studious, Rhaga saw a dangerous side to his friend as he practiced the art of summoning. Years later, after returning from Othard, Rhaga found Rynn had given up his darker side and learned a martial art, something Rhaga greatly approved of. To top it off, he'd married a young Raen named Shizo, a person who Rhaga has instantly taken to, and now considers under his protective umbrella.

• Therese Orycia - An Ishgardian noble that Rhaga fell for after meeting her in a mercenary guild. Unfortunately their affair was short lived. For one, Therese's family was in a crisis of inheritance, and Therese needed to be married off to another noble house to save her family. Secondly, Rhaga was in the midst of stealing a relic from the Holy See itself, and as such, became a prominent enemy to the Ishgardian Church. Rhaga eventually ended the relationship because of his inability to reconcile her noble lifestyle, but in the intervening year it seems that Therese may have also given up her old life, unbeknownst to Rhaga.
