White Teeth Chieftain is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds. He is the quest-giver for The Survivor, found at Keener's Rock.
History[]
Background[]
The White Teeth Chieftain, along with his shaman, serve as the leaders of the oldest and most revered werak of Banuk warriors, the White Teeth, based in Ban-Ur. He governs admittance to the werak, directing candidates to the Knifetrail northeast of Keener's Rock where they must survive four days and four nights, living off only the resources in the area.[1] This is a re-enactment of the ordeal faced by the ancestors of the White Teeth, allowing candidates to prove that they have their strength.[2]
He is aware of Aratak and Ourea, noting that they have strong names and many songs, although he believes that their obsession with Thunder's Drum will be their undoing.[1]

The White Teeth Chieftain and his shaman in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds.
The White Teeth Chieftain and his werak came from Ban-Ur to Keener's Rock in the Cut for their initiation test. However, two failed to return: Ikrie and Mailen.[1] When Aloy met the White Teeth on Keener's Rock, the Chieftain explained that they are waiting for the last two canditates. Revolted that the werak's standards would have them leave the missing hunters to die, Aloy ventured off to the glacier.[3]
Thanks to Aloy's help, Mailen, one of the hunters, returned alone to Keener's Rock with a broken leg. The Chieftain was hesitant to accept Mailen due to the aid she received, asking Aloy for her perspective as an outlander. Aloy was able to convince him and the shaman that Mailen had more than completed the ordeal, and they accepted her into the White Teeth. When the Chieftain then asked about Ikrie, Aloy told him that she was gone (a lie Ikrie asked Aloy to tell the White Teeth).[3] With the ordeal complete, the White Teeth began preparations to return to Ban-Ur.[4]
