One of only three holders of the N'Buta Bloodname in Clan Cloud Cobra, Jaali N'Buta never progressed beyond the rank of Star captain. Instead he devoted his life to the Cloister founded by his genefather, Santana N'Buta. Upon the death of Khan Tova N'Buta in 3037, Jaali took up the reigns of the Tongo Cloister, "retiring" from active service as a Warrior. He secured new alliances from within and outside the Clan, which firmly cemented his Cloister's power base even in light of its opposition to the Crusader call for invasion. His hight position within his Clan even allows him some say over affairs in the N'Buta Bloodname House, of which Clan Star Adder claims the reamaining twenty-two Bloodnamed. Considered old even among Cobra solahma troops, the seventy-four year old Jaali has lost none of his faculties. He wears what remainst of his hair in a long ponytail that accentuates his baldness.
