The first-born of Hlavin Kitheri's children to members of his harem of third-borns, Rukuei is neutered at birth and given to Lady Suukmel Chirot u Vaadai to raise at the Mala Njeri embassy. After his father dies at the Battle of Inbrokar, Rukuei, who inherits his father's armor, longs to continue the fight, but his mother restrains him. The autistic Isaac Quinn recruits Rukuei to put words to his music, which is inspired by the harmonies of human, Jana'ata, and Runa DNA sequences. Unable to contribute to rebuilding the Jana'ata gene pool, Rukuei accompanies protagonist Emilio Sandoz to Earth, studying English en route and learning what circumstances he might meet as a lone alien. His fate on Earth is not revealed.
