Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
An ascended mortal who became the new God of War in tiger aspect, filling the void left when Fener was pulled from his throne.
Trake was once Treach, a mortal Soletaken of enormous power who ascended to godhood when Fener's throne stood empty. He is savage, direct, and utterly without pretense — a war god who embodies the hunt rather than the battlefield. His followers are fewer but more fanatical than Fener's were. He represents war as primal violence rather than organized conflict.
In his divine aspect, a massive tiger of impossible size with burning amber eyes and stripes that shift like living shadows. Radiates predatory menace and barely contained violence.
Also known as: Trake, Treach, The Tiger of Summer
