Character

Temarek

opportunistic hostile subservient callous

Temarek functions as a junior Gatherer operative who embodies the group's predatory, scavenger instincts and brittle social hierarchy. He takes part in coordinated ambushes against off-world salvage teams, answers to stronger local figures such as Brull, and follows group cues even when morally compromised. Temarek submits to public humiliation to preserve standing, then quickly converts death into material gain by claiming a corpse's possessions. His actions complicate diplomatic efforts and expose fissures between Gatherer ritual, opportunism, and the fragile negotiations pursued by the Enterprise delegation.
