LoginKotallo
Kotallo is a Tenakth Marshal and a major ally featured in Horizon Forbidden West.
Born in the Tenakth's Sky Clan, Kotallo was raised by his squad in the Bulwark after losing his parents in a clan skirmish. As he grew, Kotallo became an accomplished fighter, catching the eye of the Sky Clan's commander Tekotteh. During the Red Raids, Kotallo fought beside Tekotteh against the Carja and led his squad on a dangerous climb into the Daunt. Kotallo opened the gates of Barren Light from the enemy side, allowing the Tenakth to raze the fortress.
Though this deed made him a hero amongst the Sky Clan, Tekotteh secretly feared Kotallo would become a rival to his command, failing to realize that Kotallo had no interest in rising above his station. To that end, Tekotteh sent Kotallo to participate in the Kulrut, knowing that if he survived, he'd be forced to forsake the clan to serve as Chief Hekarro's Marshal. Kotallo recognized the "honor" as an exile he couldn't refuse, a betrayal from the man he had considered a father. When Kotallo prevailed in the Kulrut, he fully accepted his destiny as a Marshal and never looked back.
Kotallo is stoic and somewhat standoffish, but ultimately loyal and dedicated. He has a dry sense of humor, finding amusement at the similarities between people despite tribal and cultural differences and through this lens is often able to see the best in his allies.
In a tribe that values strength above all else, Kotallo's maiming was a heavy blow. Many in the tribe no longer respected him, and he himself felt no longer worthy despite still being highly capable. However, he eventually comes to accept his condition as part of who he is.
