T’wari’s best friend and partner while working as a park ranger, Shombae is just as knowledgeable in the field as he is out. Currently engaged to Shuri, Shombae was more than willing to lead the expedition to find the lost civilization of the Ijawa tribe though still desired T’wari to join if not only to quell things with his sister but to also for him to discover what remained of the ancestors he so proudly claims to be from.
