Rito Chieftain

The Rito Chieftain is the leader of the Rito in The Wind Waker, and father of Prince Komali. The chieftain is a very inspiring leader to the Rito people. Because of his duty to the Rito society, he must be demanding at times, but he cares deeply for his son.

When Link arrives at Dragon Roost Island, the Rito Chieftain says that he and his fellow Rito want to help Link on his quest, but the Rito people are currently in a crisis. Since Valoo, the sky spirit, has unexpectedly grown violent and unpredictable, none of the new Rito can approach him to acquire the scale needed for them to grow wings. This has the potential to harm the tribe, so the Chieftain must attend to this issue before he can assist Link. The Chieftain asks that Link talk to his son and convince him to be brave throughout the crisis and in getting his scale. Unfortunately, Prince Komali refuses to talk to Link until he has cleared Dragon Roost Cavern, so Link is unable to aid the Chieftain without first helping Valoo.

He is always accompanied by his bodyguards Skett and Akoot.
