The Keeramak

The Keeramak was a Ssi-Ruu who possessed all the colors of the Ssi-Ruuvi castes: gold, blue, yellow, red, green, and brown. It was born from a union between two Ssi-Ruuk of different colored scales. Keeramak had no gender and was an abnormal size for a Ssi-Ruu. Its birth sent shock waves throughout the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium and fulfilled a Ssi-Ruuk prophecy that one born with many colors would free the oppressed lower castes&mdash;particularly the brown scaled Ssi-Ruuk, which were born from a union between two Ssi-Ruuk from different castes, and the lowly P'w'ecks.

The Ssi-Ruuk adored the Keeramak and raised it like a king. The Keeramak was wise, intelligent and powerful in combat. It argued with the Shreeftut over the limits of power, it challenged the powerful religious Conclave on Ssi-ruuvi religion and rivaled the Elder's Council in law. Eventually, the Keeramak was elected Shreeftut.

The Ssi-ruuk had intended to reconquer Bakura and rename it Xwhee, consecrating it as a Ssi-ruuvi homeworld and use it as a staging base to attack the galaxy with their newly improved entechment power. The Keeramak would deceive the Bakurans by telling them that the P'w'ecks had overthrown the Imperium and had come to sign a peace treaty with them. This plan however backfired when the P'w'eck Lwothin shot the Keeramak dead and the P'w'ecks really did revolt.

The Keeramak later had a successor who was of the same type of Ssi-Ruu, The Second Keeramak.
