Height/Weight/Built: Tark-al-Kesh is a man of short stature among the Fremen (approx. 5'4"). Extremely muscular, yet water-deprieved, his shaggy hair and beard are proof of many long years spent in the desert.

Personality: Tark-al-Kesh or just Kesh to his close friends, is an introverted individual. Although he appears cold and isolated to most people on first impressions, because of his ,calm, quiet nature and piercing eyes, Kesh desperetly craves to find his place. Rarely speaking, Tark-al-Kesh prefers to spend time alone wondering the desert, or sitting on high rocks overlooking the desert. Prefering to lose himself in his imagination, Kesh rarely looks up to the real life needs and events around him; a dangerous trait in a Deep Desert Fremen.

History: Tark-al-Kesh, the third child of unknown lineage. The youngest with two older brothers (all 3 one year apart) lived with his parents in Arakeen until they lost their lives. Rumoured that offworlders killed them apparently over a trade dispute the three children found themselves left to rot in the desert. Only five years old at the time, Kesh would have died but for the generousity of an Old Fremen who happened to wonder across the orphans. The tribe took the old man's water just two months after returning to his sietch and convincing Naib Naital to allow the orphans to live.

Growing up Kesh's brothers found a place in the tribe as strong, brave warriors. Kesh though remained displaced, ever the wonderer and dreamer. Many Fremen thought him a weakness to the tribe, ridiculing him about his height, and thus Kesh was challenged in combat many times. However, he was as gifted at fighting as he was different. Kesh was eventually left to his own desires, slightly outcast, yet slightly envy'd.
