Tzbalik Odraye, the hunchbacked man with a long yellow face, joins the CAT's crew in their infiltration of Schar's World temple. He perishes in the hall's laser firefight chaos, reflection beams claiming him amid the mercenaries' betrayal and combat. His minor role amplifies the crew's mounting losses.
