Talana'aashta (or Talana) is a Half-Orc of the Maruk Ghaash'kala, and the only member of the clan with a dragonmark. She was originally of Clan Aashta in the Shadow Marches, and worked as a bounty hunter for Unknown. It was this profession that led her into the Labyrinth, pursuing a quarry that fled there. Her quarry didn't survive the labyrinth, and Talana was found by a patrol of the Maruk Ghaash'kala and offered the choice to join or die.

Talana chose to join the Ghaash'kala, and dedicate her life to Kalok Shash. She is an exceptional tracker, made more so by the Mark of Finding on her shoulder.
