The Kintar hated the Maur long before the Second Crimson War. Similarly, Rhaka's mother hated her from the moment she was birthed. Perhaps this is why she named her child after the most feared clan in the Maur Federation. Perhaps Rhaka's dark future was written in the stars before she was ever conceived.

Rhaka is the mastermind behind the Star Shadow Cult and a self-proclaimed high priestess of Thule. Though she received some formal training in the Church of Nethra, her interests were always more militaristic. Upon being selected by the Stardust Grave, Rhaka's extremist nature rose to the surface. Before the church could censure her, she disappeared from public view.

No one knows Rhaka's end game. Indeed, the goals of the Star Shadow cult remain somewhat ambiguous. What the authorities do know is disturbing enough: over forty terrorist attacks successfully executed, with another dozen or so foiled in the attempt, all within the last three cycles. Whatever Rhaka's plans are, she is pursuing them with enthusiasm.
