Ajiba Deitlind

Ajiba Deitlind is the chief of a nomadic clan living in Bayan, and the husband of Daemah Deitlind, making him the stepfather of Jaedyn.

Appearance
Ajiba is tall and dark skinned, with long black hair braided with ostrich feathers. He is muscular, and has been said to look rather intimidating.

Activities
When Ajiba found Daemah, emaciated, dirty and quite obviously pregnant, he and his clan took her in and nursed her back to health. When she recovered, she told him about her "former life" as a noblewoman in Chardenne, although she lied about how she got pregnant by saying that she had been in an abusive marriage.

After a few months, Ajiba began to fall for the young woman, and shortly after Daemah's daughter was born, the two married. Daemah was immediately accepted into the clan as the Greatmother, and Ajiba accepted her child as his own, despite Daemah's reluctance to get attached to her.

Over the years, Ajiba had four children of his own (one daughter and three sons) with Daemah. He allowed Jaedyn to leave the clan at sixteen.
