Ballengash is a Balam from the Amazon jungle living near the entrance to the Umbral Realm of El Dorado.
Biography[]
Ballengash has always lived in the valley where El Dorado once existed in the physical world and hold it as his personal Den-Realm. He has left only once, and even then, he returned as quickly as he could. He knows the precise location of El Dorado and has been to the Dorado Realm on numerous occasions. The Black Furies respect him and could not care less about the gold and silver he pilfers from time to time. The precious metals are everywhere in the Dorado Realm and are effectively useless to the Furies.
The Balam is extremely defensive about his territory and will fight to the death to protect it against anyone that causes him grief. If the visitors are offensive in any way, especially if they are contemptuous, Ballengash will make their lives a living hell. If any visitors happen to be lost or in an important mission and actually take their time to simply discuss their problems with Ballengash, he will aid them in any way possible. He considers El Dorado to be his friend and would gladly fight to protect the mage.
Appearance[]
In homid form, Ballengash is dark skinned with long straight black hair and greenish-gold eyes. He dresses in traditional style, with a ceremonial kilt and a long cloak decorated with feathers. The clothes have been chosen just in case anyone important will visit. While he would never admit it, he thinks of the Garous as important visitors to his area. He wears an ornate headdress made of cloth, woven with gold and adorned with feathers. In the center of the headdress is a gold jaguar's head. In Crinos form, Ballengash is just over eight feet tall with light brown fur. The sun has bleached his fur in some places.
