Xaros
Xaros is a ruler and warlord in South America roughly 22,000 years ago. Even before the meteorite impacts he expands his influence over neighboring communities. He exploits the disaster that follows by turning fear into authority. Where Kaimana seeks to understand the objects from the sky, Xaros seeks control and claims that angry gods demand a blood sacrifice. One hundred young men are to be selected through manipulated contests. Kaimana openly opposes him. Xaros later kills Kaimana and removes his heart. For Yari, Xaros remains the central counterexample to responsibility, balance and the responsible use of power.

Rao Ramachandra
Rao Ramachandra is the leader of the Children of Soma and a master of tantric teachings. Tall, lean and possessed of effortless authority, he controls significant financial, political and technological resources. His order regards Yari as the key to an ancient prophecy and a possible path toward recovering the lost Soma. Rao's objective is immortality. Hekate's analysis concludes, however, that the methods intended to achieve it would have catastrophic energetic and environmental consequences and could even threaten Yari's survival. After Yari personally infiltrates his environment and confronts him, Rao ends the hunt, declares Yari a valued partner and invites Yari and his team to the Children of Soma headquarters in southern India.
