"Oh, those two would argue almost all the time. It was kinda scary to be honest. But they seem to have mellowed each other out a bit… Or so I've heard, at least.” — Qan'aqi about Nashiyaraki and Peregrine

Qan'aqi is an Azal'qa male with an androgynous, short build and medium-length dark hair. He has raven skin with contrasting markings that can glow yellow - the same color as his eyes. Qan'aqi also has a long, forked tail, long ears, and sharp claws. His fingertips have special pads that enable memory reading through touch.
Qan'aqi is intellectually curious and analytical, always seeking to understand more about the world and people around him. His ability to read memories through touch has made him naturally empathetic, though he can sometimes become too absorbed in others' experiences.
He is peaceful and generally avoids confrontation when possible. When he can't avoid conflict between others, he may try to act as a mediator. This trait was particularly evident during his time working with Nashiyaraki and Peregrine, where he often tried to help bridge the gap between their opposing ideas. It can become frustrating for him when others aren't willing to put aside their differences and find common ground, though.
Despite his tribe's general pursuit of wealth, Qan'aqi tends to be more focused on gathering knowledge and understanding than material gains. Like many Azal'qa, he maintains a degree of spiritual awareness, though he approaches it through an intellectual lens rather than pure devotion.
His glowing markings often betray his emotional state, making him somewhat transparent despite attempts at maintaining composure.
Qan'aqi struggles with feelings of inadequacy when comparing himself to others, often due to his indecisive nature and perceived lack of growth. His self-doubt causes him to defer to others' judgment, even when his own intuition might be correct.
Initially working with VISION alongside teammates like Nashiyaraki and Peregrine, Qan'aqi found himself struggling with the team dynamics. His tendency to compare himself to others and the frequent arguments between his teammates began to take their toll. Seeking a role better aligned with his abilities and temperament, he made the decision to leave VISION and join AEGLE's Acolyte program.
The Acolyte program, which focuses on emergency response and humanitarian aid, provided Qan'aqi with an environment that better suited his empathetic nature and desire to help others. As an AEGLE Acolyte, he could utilize his abilities in a more supportive role.
Qan'aqi possesses the natural ability to read memories through touch using special pads on his fingertips. This allows him to gain deep insights into others' past experiences and emotions, though the process can be emotionally draining, especially when accessing traumatic memories.
As an ARCHITECT-class CER0 wielder, Qan'aqi can control droids in battle, using them to perform a variety of support tasks. His droids contain his ERCs, allowing them to manipulate nanoether for generating ethereal structures or powerful beams. Through his droids, he can provide crucial battlefield assistance through:
