Smoke Tiger

Smoke Tiger was a member of the Akashic Brotherhood involved in the White Coumada, the event that triggered the Himalayan Wars.

Overview
The Akashics had moved into the Indian subcontinent circles 950 BCE and come into contact with the various thanatoic cults found there. While the cults and the Brotherhood did share a common interest in the Wheel of Fate, the Akashics generally found the cults to be too active in meddling with the everyday world.

In 900 BCE a plague broke out in what is now Bhutan, and the Akashics collaborated with a cult called the Dacoits to contain it. Smoke Tiger and a Dacoit named Ranjit were supposed to be working together, but when Smoke Tiger realized Ranjit was executing patients instead of treating them, he went into a rage and killed him.

The Dacoits captured Smoke Tiger, but handed him back to the Brotherhood, assuming justice would be done. Instead the Brotherhood freed Smoke Tiger and accused the Dacoits of executing individuals fating to be involved with the Akashics under the guise of containing the plague.
