Galucas

Biography
Galucas (Arnic for Light's Warrior) was a royal guardsman during the reign of Annaira of Knîw and her husband, Ronnoc of the Urneth. He possessed one the legendary Amulets of Karnī, which allowed him to shapeshift into whatever the amulet was shaped like. In his case, he could shift into the form of a guld, a nocturnal flying mammal. However, he was also one of the last of the Lexekul, and possessed their natural ability to shape-shift. He kept the amulet, however, because it was his birthright as the last of the Kanillib.

Etymology
Galucas comes from the tongue of Knîw, meaning the "overseer of light". Galu is the word that indicates light, and Cas, to watch over, oversee, is prefixed with U, the directional marker indicating up. If properly spoken, the "c" would make a soft sound, and there would be pronounced emphasis on the second syllable. However, because Galucas was not a native speaker, he pronounced the "c" with a hard sound not found in the original language, and put no specific emphasis on any point of the word.
