Early life

Lokeij was raised with tales of the old times. He was familiar with the old raka gods, like Kyprioth and Gunapi the Sunrose, as well as their mythology. He was presumably told stories about the Kyprish Prophecy and the hope. Lokeij was perhaps born a slave to the Temaida family, which treated him like he was free. He had an affinity for horses. He likely followed Sarugani Temaida and became a part of her permanent staff once she married Mequen Balitang. He was one of the leaders of the raka conspiracy, along with Ulasim Dodeka, Chenaol, and Fesgao Yibenu. He was dedicated to serving the twice-royal daughters of Sarugani, Saraiyu and Dovasary Balitang.

Exile

Lokeij accompanied the Balitang family into exile at Tanair on Lombyn Island. He was a kind man, and was friendly to Alianne of Pirate's Swoop, a luarin slave. The conspirators at first thought Aly was just a slave, and then started to think she was a Crown spy. They didn't want to kill her though, because they liked her so much, so they waited.

Once Saraiyu started her swordfighting lessons again, Lokeij was awed. He claimed that Lady Sarai looked like one of the old raka gods, Gunapi the Sunrose, when she lunged. He also had not heard of Aly's mother, Alanna the Lioness, which stung Aly.
