Hyethut

Hyethut was the eccentric yet calm general of Tesara during the Skrall War and the Battle of Roxtus. He was renown for his grape and leaf decorated armor, earning him the titles of General Grape and the Grapeborne.

Hyethut was born to a Tesaran soldier and an Adat mother from Atero. He was a dutiful soldier that was selected to be the primary general by the Tesaran Doush Sonork Sonorkon. Growing up in Tesara, he was fascinated with how Tesara was a green oasis compared to the near-lifelessness of the rest of the region, and this, as well as learning about the great ancient Tesaran Rex Neronikus, gave Hyethut a childish patriotism of Tesara. And while he was always odd, it wasn't until his research into ancient strategies and history that he discovered the ancient faith of the ancestors of the Adat people, the primitive but everlasting Grunkharist spirituality. He looked more into this faith and came to believe that his idol Neronikus and his practice of enlightened despotism was Grunkharist. He also heard many legends of an eternal realm of civilized vorox far to the south that also believed in the primordial potter and practiced enlightened despotism. From what he saw there were too many signs, and so he converted to the western rites of Grunkharism, forming a collection of documents to from a theological library, converting many of his soldiers and Tesaran citizens to this tribal faith, and held ceremonies outside the city with guards protecting them as they gathered around a fire and inhaled sacred smoke from sacred flowers beneath the starry night sky.

Having your leading general grow more radical to a faith to the point of becoming a prophet in command of an army as well as an extreme politic made the Tesaran Doush Sonork Sonorkon begin to worry about his 'loyal' general, but he prized his friendliness and brilliance in battle. Hyethut always reminded him that his oath was towards Tesara, and not the doush himself, and the general's radicalization made doubts bubble in Sonork's head. He trusted the general but eventually his doubts got the better of him and told Hyethut to step down as general and retire lest he be humiliated by publicly being arrested for treason. Hyethut complied and retired to doing more historical and theological research, but he was bitter. thoughts of coup came and went in his mind. But thankfully, before anything went too far, the Glatorianate had been disbanded and replaced with the new Kingdom of Neateir, led by the appointed king and renown level-headed swordsman Akkar.

Akkar knew of Hyethut's eccentricity and the imagination for stratagems that it brought with it, and so appointed him as a general to take charge during the Battle of Roxtus that erupted after the duel between Mata Nui and King Tuma. After the Battle of Roxtus, Hyethut diligently served Akkar as he was the 'heir to neronikus' that he had longed to serve or bring upon himself to create. He led battles in the New Atero Civil War before finally retiring to his studies. In his old age, he leaves history to a new generation and now mainly focuses on theological studies as his confrontation with his god draws near.
