History
Zog is the only son of Munto, chief of one of the tribes of hunter-gatherers on Pap. His childhood was uneventful by the standards of his people.
When he reached his 14th cycle (in Boluscans measurements), Zog underwent the standard trial that males of his tribe undergo on becoming adults. This trial involved joining a hunting party tracking one of the gigantic carniverous lizards known as thunder beasts. After tracking and cornering the beast, Zog was required to single-handedly slay it by executing the fabled "death leap" and driving his spear into its brain. Many boys fail this test, usually resulting in their own deaths. Zog, however, executed the strike perfectly, killing the beast instantly. This feat ensured his acceptance as an adult of the tribe, as well as keeping the tribe well fed for many days.
This event was notable in that it was observed, in secret, by members of the Star Guard, the first time any off-worlder had witnessed this sacred ceremony.
Psychological Profile
Zog is brave and determined, and all his tribe agree that he will be a fine hunter and, one day, a fine chief.
Skills and Abilities
Like all the adult males of his tribe, Zog is skilled in the ways of tracking and killing a variety of prey.
