Conner's younger brother. Ni'tchan is mellower than is older brother. They have work together many time over the years. Conner is as much a warrior as he is a mage. Ni'tchan is actually a moderately powerful psion. His Giant Sword Pi is actually a psionically resonating artifact. While very strong for a tanuki (slightly less strong than very for a human) Ni'tchan could never wield its mass without the psionic atunement. Its actually bigger than illustrated. Ni'tchan has a few issues with being over shadowed by his smaller big bro, but they get along more that they come into conflict.
