History[]
Background[]
Jetakka lived during and through the Clan Wars, with his squad once fighting against Dekka of the Lowland Clan.[2]
Horizon Forbidden West[]
Jetakka was one of the few entrusted with the secret that the Wound in the Sand had stopped refilling. The existential threat to his clan was not the only problem: the resultant water rations was raising tension between Yarra, the clan's commander; and Drakka, the leader of the Arrowhand settlement.[3]

A solution came through the Easterner Aloy, who had made herself known among the Tenakth for her stand against Regalla at Barren Light and at the Memorial Grove. Jetakka had heard that Aloy had a "second sight", especially for matters relating to the Old Ones, which she confirmed after helping Drakka harvest machine hearts for the settlement. Sensing that she held the key to solving the water crisis, Jetakka asked her to meet him in Scalding Spear, not explaining why due to the delicate nature of the subject.[1]
At the Desert Capital, Jetakka convinced a doubtful Yarra to enlist Aloy's help. His insight ultimately proved correct, as Aloy was able to repair the Wound with Yarra's help. Unfortunately, one crisis gave way to another as the tensions between Drakka and Yarra boiled over. Despite Jetakka's efforts to calm the situation, Drakka challenged Yarra for command. Jetakka knew that without intervention, the duel would serve as the starting point for a conflict that would ravage his clan, asking Aloy to meet him at the Gate of the Vanquished to help him resolve the situation.[3]
Aloy and Jetakka choosing which side to take at the Gate of the Vanquished.[4]
At the site of the battle, Jetakka and Aloy tried to talk Drakka and Yarra from fighting, but both refused to back down. Aloy chose a side and asked that the other fight just them, keeping the squads out of the fight. With the numbers reduced, Jetakka joined Aloy to even the numbers and they both defeated their opponent.[4] Following the resolution of the challenge, Jetakka returned to Arrowhand to oversee the settlement until a new leader had been determined.[5]
Personality[]
As one of the few in his clan to reach old age, Jetakka bears wisdom and restraint that is rare among his clan. As such, he considers it his responsibility to restrain the headstrong youth and redirect them when they stray from the correct path.
