Tu Nama is an imposing man with a spider tattooed on his whole face and scorpions tattooed on each forearm. He is on his vision quest to attain kinship with the spider god Tiri. He carries a long spear and fights like a man-demon, weaving in and out of battle -- impossible to touch. Striking and retreating in a blur. When his foe is weakened, he snares him with a net and bleeds him as an offering to Tiri. His Grandmother, reincarnated as a raven, travels with him along with her dog-servant.
