A member of the ancient race of [[Gladewalkers]] that have tended the forests of Pannithor since time immemorial, Kapoka is rare amongst his race for his willingness to leave those forests and interact with the peoples of the wider world.   

An ancient being, Kapoka spent much of his life tending to the forests in his charge, including, although possibly not restricted to the [[Forest of Galahir]]. When he was just a sapling, the Gladewalker had travelled with the armies of The Green Lady, not fighting, but using his powers to confuse the enemy and heal his allies. At some point this peaceable nature changed. His Forest home was vandalised by the [[orc]] Krudger [[Thrundak Skullsplitter]] during the warlord’s rise to power. Committing himself to revenge upon that particularly cruel orc, Kapoka decided to leave his forest and track the vandal down.

For an age, his hatred of the orcs had become his defining feature. He travelled through the mountains of [[Basilean Hegemony|Basilea]], along the [[Ardovikian Plain|Ardovikian Plains]] and along the coast of [[Primovantor]], all the while listening to the whispers of the Forest, finding their secret camps and hidden paths. Bit by bit, Kapoka tracked down the tribe that had attacked his forest. He discovered a portion of the tribe in the far west, in the heavily forested hills of the successor Kingdoms, near the city of Valentica. Knowing he needed help, and with the locals to afraid to fight with him, the Druid recruited a band of adventurers, namely the salamander warrior [[Hrrath Flamespitter]], the dwarf [[Guraf Dammerson|Guraf Dammerson,]] and the Naiad Demon Hunter [[Arianya]]. This long vendetta had had its effect upon Kapoka, as he was now questioning whether disappearing in a blaze of glory and being taken to join the gods would be preferable to a heroic victory. After a long and protracted fight, Kapoka and his companions were able to clear the various barracks of green skins and confront the being now leading the tribe, [[Grug]] the troll boss. Following that battle, Kapoka sat for weeks contemplating on what he must do next. He needed focus and had not yet found the leader of the orc tribe, his nemesis Thrundak

It was there, just before the events of Halp’s Rift, that the Green Lady found him. While he did not want to return to those violent ways, Kapoka conceded to accompany the Lady’s forces once again, healing and supporting, if not fighting.
