Shayek

Shayek is the younger daughter of Albert Robecan, one of the top scientists of Notumicum, a fairly small but highly valued Omni Research Group. He had made his fortune on optimizing Notum mining, but the latter stages of his life had been devoted to making the mining more environmentally friendly. This work had given him even minor acceptance among some of the clan leaders.

However, the more extreme clans were unwilling to accept that any Omni Personnel could ever rise above the dirt they walked on, and about a two years ago, in August 29475, Albert was permanently killed while visiting Rubi-Ka. Further, his wife who had accompanied him on the tour, dissappeared during the incident, her remains were never recovered, in any meaning of the word.

The mystery of her mother is one of the key reasons for Shayek moving to Rubi-Ka in August 29476. She was given assistance by the Omni-Tek Corporation, but she felt that the assistance was more likely a cover up for the Omni-Tek involvement than really helping her. Further, it was having a bad effect on her contacting the clans and trying to find out their part of the story.

After months of unsuccessful research, bureacrazy that was driving her crazy, Corporate Assistants who kept feeding her propaganda, and feeling frustrated that her own life was going down the drain, she decided to start an independent venture, a life of her own here on Rubi-Ka, and keep her eyes open for signs of her mother.

While the roots of Shayek's upbringing are firmly Omni, she has never taken the corporate values for granted. True, she sees the benefits that the corporation with its advanced technology produces, but also sees the corruption that always comes along with such powermongers.

The goodwill she had for clan members at younger age has not comletely vanished after the clanmen killed her father but Shayek has met her share of cold receptions while travelling the lands. Even so, she acknowledges that not all clanmen were behind the murder, and that the section apparently responsible is not popular in itself, due to its overly radical approaches. Neither does she judge individuals based on their alignment in the struggle.
