 They were forced to separate, but Akina made it clear she expects to be rewarded for her service for the sword by Tomak's father Cassander, whom she knew was wildly rich. Akina holds all gladiators in high esteem, for they possess an ability she does not. Her expectation for pay is tempered by her desire to be surrounded by those whom she admires.

 '''The Seven Angry Tembos''':  After lurking around the underbelly of the city for a while Akina came to meet members of the Angry Tembos. She was paid to follow the rumor of a red steel sword and help their agents recover the item.  In dealing with the Tembos, she found their temperament to be unsavory. When an opportunity to locate the sword was revealed, Akina chose to let Tomak, an acquaintance from Jarko, make a play for the sword instead of helping the Tembo. Since the event she has gone into hiding.

 Akina was married to Kandor of Last Port in the groves of the noble house of Nalust by a templar of Balic.  As a gift, Keldon gave to Akina a newly fashioned heavy crossbow with which she might practice.  Riding west across the desert towards his ranch outside of Last Port so that they might consummate the marriage, Akina grew terrified of her situation, and was uninterested in the kind and well-meaning face of the farmer whom she had married.  Not wishing he life he had offered, Akina shot her husband in the back with her new crossbow, dumped and buried the body, and sold the wagon and bazrags to rogues just outside Last Port. There was never any guilt for her actions, nor remorse, for in her mind she was left with no choice. After all, her wedding gift was a crossbow.

 When it was deemed that she could not qualify as a gladiator, Akina was relegated to being a sparring partner for the true Gladiators of Jarko. Not unskillful she learned a great deal about fighting and earned modest attention for her refusal to quit training. Annoyed by her lack of ability the trainers sent her to be tutored as a servant so they could recoup their costs. In this education, she learned many skills in how to interact with people.. During one such failure of composure a prospective buyer was drawn to the scene of her outburst. Captivated by her beauty and defiance he purchased her outright. So Akina was freed.

She fled the scene and giving the man's insignificance, nothing more came of the even. This was the first time Akina killed someone but she knew after her escape it would not be the last.

 In private, Akina had no desire to marry Kandor, despite him being handsome, healthy, of good spirit, as well as a land owner and man of some means.  Keldon and his wife strove to change Akina's mind on the matter, but she refused to bend, wishing only to join Keldon for another trip into the desert to catch more wild beasts, desiring to become a reaver like him.  At last however, Lydora, becoming quite suspicious of the intentions of the girl over her husband, made it clear that Akina was no longer welcome in their house.  Keldon commanded Akina to marry his cousin, and she relented, trying to embrace a kinder life of which he had given her a glimpse.

 <blockquote>''Having been captured and sold into slavery Akina was traded among various tribes claiming she possessed secret abilities. By the age of six when her current owner had not yet seen the manifestation of any powers he sent her to work as a servant. Her temperament however, was not well suited for such work and so it was arrange for her to train as a gladiator at Jarko. Unfortunately for her, she was malnourished and so did not properly develop. Her size and strength were stunted and she was not a particularly graceful child. She did however grow into quite the beauty. For this reason she was purchased from her owner and shipped off to marry. Her mate was not to her liking so once her freedom was purchased she killed him and took all that he owned, selling it for a profit. With her freedom and training Akina made her way into various mercenary gangs.''</blockquote>

 Akina desires glory. Her dream is to have a statue of herself in some great city. This vision is not modeled after any hero of legend but after the idea the people can become legendary. She is not boastful or envious and she does not desire attention only admiration. She is quiet and thoughtful and is always mindful of the wellbeing of those around her. She cares little for magic, believing it to be a shortcut to true greatness. She cares not for mystical secrets but for the lavish comforts of wealth. Her motivations are simple and direct. She will do anything to accomplish this goal.
