Chuko is a Tengu ex-adventurer and the owner and proprietor of The War Cage in the Yolubilis Harbor area of Kintargo. Chuko is renowned for his dual love of adventurers and hatred of thieves though, as an ex-adventurer, he is aware that the line between the two is, at best, thin and quite often blurred. His hatred for thieves is commonly believed to stem from Chuko's animosity towards his brother, Ravzee, leader of the local thieves' gang The River Talons. Ever paranoid, he has plotted escape routes from Kintargo in case of the worst. This fear has also made him sympathetic to local rebel groups like the Silver Ravens.
He is entangled in a romantic affair with his main competitor in the city's armory market: Unknown.
