Important Characters
Atah'Muhr
The most wealthy individual character in Rota (clarification: this means he has the highest individual wealth, but not necessarily community wealth. There are several countries with considerably more wealth than he, which translates to several people with access to more money, but no one technically wealthier. It’s just semantics), Atah has roots as a Dnuoherocian slave. He was born with a remarkably developed intellect and a perfect eugenic memory, which he has developed since childhood. He taught himself to read by memorizing the words of a guard who read aloud to his roommates, and later comparing the word sequences to the symbols in the books he read from. He later was promoted to bookkeeper, secretary, and financial adviser after he proved his competence, and used his position to embezzle enough money to buy his freedom.
He’s performed in depth studies on every rotarian science, occasionally going to extreme lengths to obtain information. Several of these sciences he has actually improved and/or combined with other sciences to create some spectacular effects, such as his spacio-temporal rippler, his mechanical switchblade cane, several toxins and drugs designed personally by him, and his crowning achievement, the Ultrices Imperium.
He is actually on the weaker side of Zuli magic, in about the thirty fifth percentile. however, he makes up for it by being incredibly crafty with how he uses his magic.
He legitimately, if somewhat distastefully, deals in bars, brothels, drug rings, information, and several forms of production. He is heavily suspected in dealing in theft, assassination, organized crime, smuggling, Illegal pleasure establishments, illicit war production, the buying and selling of state secrets, and dozens of other charges.

Asker'Sah
A Zuli sah. One of Atah'Muhr's closest associates.
Shoma
The shadowy head of the Rotarian underground, little is known of the mysterious Shoma. His name comes from a mythological zuli hero who, according to legend, had the power to control shadows (most people believe this is untrue, and it almost definitely was. However, the legends still persist). Because of this, most assume Shoma is a Zuli. Many suspect that the word is actually either an alias or a close connection of Atah'Muhr; however, none have been able to prove his affiliation with the rotarian underground as yet.
