Eekti (pronounced EEK-tee) is a resident of Yarma. He has given himself the responsibility of caring for the albino crocodiles that live in the Yarma River and the canals that have been built through the city, a role he takes very seriously. Though they were previously feared and often driven away by the people of the city, there have been no incidents involving the crocodiles since Eekti began his efforts. Though he his rather eccentric, with a constantly ragged appearance and odd mannerisms, Eekti is well-liked by most in the city. Those that live near the canals often set out gifts for Eekti and his crocodiles, usually food but also sometimes other useful items.
