[Description]

While Kogaa has very, very vague memories of home and family, he otherwise only knew of life in the Shokah Abbey as one of the very young squires for the Holy Guard. When Grand Royal General Zahura dropped by the Church for worship, he took notice of some of the squires there, including Kogaa, and demanded he take some to be placed in the Grand Royal Guard instead of the Holy Guard. By decree of Grand Royal Head Councilor Gi’utoh as an acting regent for the newly crowned Grand King Hikoro, the Abbey had to give up Kogaa and a few other squires in order to train them to be Hikoro’s personal guards. Because Kogaa was at first raised as a squire for the Holy Guard rather than a Royal Guard, the boy carried his pious upbringing and training with him all the way to adulthood, which not only allowed him to rise to the top in his studies and in the field, but even convinced the rest of the Grand Royal Council in that Kogaa would help maintain the Mandate of Qaju--the divinity of Hikoro as the Grand King of all of Siquotia. As such, before even hitting his thirties, Kogaa was appointed as the Captain of the Grand Royal Guard, a position he took extremely seriously even up to this day.

[Mun’s Notes]

Wait a minute, doesn’t he look identical to Kitoah? Yes. The two are twin brothers, and their story is interconnected. A LOT of retconning happened from what was previously planned in the cancelled Echoes of Silence comic despite not making an appearance in the comic proper (for instance, he was changed from a bald eagle to a gyrfalcon), so if you have any knowledge of him from the old days, scrap it all. The only thing Kogaa has nowadays that remains unchanged is that he’s still the no-nonsense birdy Captain of the Grand Royal Guard and in love with Kalayaan.

“Immy, how do you pronounce his name? Is it like the Japanese Koga/Kouga?” It’s actually Ko-GAH-ah. No dipthongs, all glottal stops between the vowels. The same applies to any Hitoh name with no apostrophe in between double vowels.
