Karn is a dalagin. They resemble humans in their culture. Similar music, clothes, religion, weapons, and history. Diamond is his companion. Bakkis are alien cats that are powerful telepaths, and are often found with those who are deaf/blind/mute so they can be their eyes/ears/voice. Karn doesn't have anything wrong with him, but he just got her when she was a tiny kitten. Because bakkis almost never come in pure white, she was rare enough to lose her parents to black market traders. Karn saw her starving to death and stole her. She then grew into the largest bakki ever recorded. Bakkis should be small enough to sit comfortably on a shoulder. Karn is an assassin, an artist, and a man slut! So sexah.
