Yataramaru

"Unnamed Hail Hex Member"

- Welcome to the Camp 5 on the furthest edge of the Abyss.

Yataramaru "the Combatant" is a member of Hail Hex.

Appearance
Yataramaru is a man with a tall stature almost comparable to Nishagora in height. His most striking features are the small uneven horn like growths all over his disfigured head.

His outfit is similar to other members of Hail Hex such as Srajo and Nishagora. He wears a jacket that exposes his stomach and sternum, a cape, a bag on his waist and baggy pants tucked into his boots.

Personality
He has a remarkably polite demeanor and was welcoming towards guests to his group's outpost. Despite his stature and title of "the combatant" he's often shown doing various menial tasks around the camp on Srajo's orders, with no complaint.

Curse Fleet Arc
Soon after, the group arrives at the outpost of Hail Hex in the 6th layer. As they enter it, they are greeted by Yataramaru. Inside the outpost, Nanachi marvels at the amount of equipment and shortly afterwards they are addressed by the boss of Hail Hex who is cooking food in a big pot. As the conversation progresses this boss tells them that the goal of Hail Hex is to reach the deepest depths of the Abyss and asks what Riko's goal is.

As Riko counts in her mind the many goals she and her group still has she says there's quite a lot. After hearing that, the boss of Hail Hex introduces the Curse Fleet Delver Troupe, Hail Hex, and afterwards herself as their Captain, Srajo. She praises Riko and shows recognition as a White Whistle. However, she also notes that they will have to put Riko through her paces first.

Srajo tells the story of her own encounter with Bondrewd prior to going into their Last Dive; Bondrewd senses that someone unusual has come and tells Gueira to call Bido and Rimeyo's squads to the main gate in preparation. Srajo enters Ido Front together with her group, Hail Hex, and salutes but is then stopped by white cloaked Umbra Hands and talks back aggressively, to which her underling recommends she holds back as they're the so-called Shroud with burial clothes. Bondrewd comes and asks for what business might they have come for, Srajo replies that she's looking to use the Altar. Bondrewd then tries to stop her by telling her it is required to send a report to the Delver's Guild which can take up to 7 days local time.

Srajo tells him she has no time to wait. As her underling interjects with the truth that they're in chase of one of their members who ran off into the 6th layer looking for the Shrine Maiden, Bondrewd is surprised that she would go onto her last dive on such ambiguous conditions even after reducing herself to a coward and insists that she must send a request back to the Guild.

Once Srajo finishes her story and the test is underway, he can be seen preparing the bath water and making sure Tepasté doesn't go too far.
