Saptami

Saptami, "The Seventh One", is an ally of The Stalkers. Although he is not himself a weretiger, he shares with the Stalkers a desire to destroy Maharaja Arijani. The reason for his enmity is unknown.

Saptami claims to be a yatudhana, a term which may mean an evil spirit less powerful than a rakshasa or else a spellcaster who deals with such evil spirits. At any rate, he has the powers of a lich, implying that he belongs to that second category.
