Elder Mates

 is a hero of the Hero.

Background
Many stories have circulated regarding the wild apes that now roam Yavaun, enhanced both intellectually and cybernetically. The most interesting tale pertains to a pair of gorillas who never leave each other's side. It is said that these two simians acquired extraordinary intelligence in the Tha'Roon pens, achieved a higher evolutionary status, even learned to love each other. A few even claim that the gorilla mates orchestrated the rebellion which released all apes from their cruel Overlord captors. The Shama'Li are particularly obsessed with the pair, calling them the Elder Mates. Shama'Li celebrate the gorillas' new consciousness, and some even seek out the Elder Mates in regions which are heavily populated by wild apes. None of these searchers has ever returned.
