Overview
Dika Fortuna is a Human and Overboss of the criminal group known as the Yazu. He is the foster-father of Artemis Lancaster, Soran Redtail, and Cedar Fortuna, among others.

Early Life
Before most of the events of KoT, Dika began his career as a Thief, working for a small group of bandits near Gondora until he was critically wounded by a poisoned arrow.

Vilified by the Empire, the Yazu grew in infamy within the span of only a few years, ascending Dika into the realm of stardom, often compared to folk heroes and a celebrity in his own right.

After establishing the Yazu and even confronting the Empire a number of times on the battlefield, Dika's old wound began to wear his body down considerably. Thinking of the future of the Yazu, he adopted three children from the war-torn areas of Gondo to train as expert thieves and to take over for him once he was gone.

He first found Soran as a Dire Wolf pup in Gondora, looking after an infant Cedar and living in the slums. He took them in and began their training, it wasn't until a few years later that Cilus would
