Uffago is an African man of somewhat short stature, with blue eyes and short dreds. He comes from a Namibian tribe/pack closely associated with Bushmen of southern Africa. He usually wears cargo shorts around The Hotel, but that’s not his usual attire at home.
At Miara Mitsuki's invitation, he decided to take on the role of heading the Astral Seminars that take place in The Hotel, and moved there permanently on September 30, 2013. While this wasn't somewhere he expected to go in his life, his previous experience leads him to believe it is his calling, and he is happy to serve in such a worthy cause.

Character and Personality
An energetic man, Uffago is nevertheless form a culture that centers on healing and unity, although with a definite Lupa slant. Therefore, his focus is usually on diffusing anything that might lead to discontent, while not minding the normal personal spats here and there. His focus is usually on peaceful and healing things, and has lately become interested in extending this globally to the Lupa of Terra.
His pack and neighbors view his as a mystic, and the Bushmen with strange but benevolent powers. He is also known for his upright nature, and can be very kind even when setting someone right. Unlike most Lupa, his pack has, over thousands of years among the Bushmen, achieved a very low rate of anger and fighting for Lupa, and he will often come across as much less violent or irritated than most other Lupa.
He has dedicated his life to healing and unity among Bushmen, and thus has not taken time to seek out a mate.
Currently
As of the beginning of 2015, Miara handed off all Leadership roles of the seminar to Uffago, and he has been directing all teaching and traveling the others are doing, also occasionally going out himself to teach a willing student. He has become a strong leader in this regard, building a network of those who trust him and understand and agree with what he is trying to do.
He is also Nima's primary guardian at this time, overseeing her education and development.
Since Miara's return in 2018, and Tally's in 2019, he did a lot of counseling with The Bondgroup, and also ended up counseling Nanette Roma as the situation turned out to be too close for her usual speaker, Jonathan Kortan, to get through with her. Since then, Uffago and Nanette have begun a romantic relationship in 2020.
Personal History
While he was born to natural Lupa, his maternal grandmother was a Bushman. It isn’t unusual for Bushmen to take the Change (the Lupa are generally known among them, but not spoken of to outsiders) once in a while, so many of the pack have Bushman ancestry. He’s always stayed with his pack, and was lucky enough to get some astralgia training while a boy and young teen before his paternal great grandmother died. Astralgia pop up in his family every few generations or so.
As a child, Uffago was very protective of a slightly younger female cousin, Valeria, but she died in a hunting accident when they were pre-teens. It was at that point that he realized he had planned on mating her someday, and it’s likely part of why he’s still single. This is likely the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. However, he has no experience at all with the outside world. He does talk to Speakers and other astrals from around the world, and thus has some connections.
When Miara first extended her invitation to the Astral Seminar in 2012, he was skeptical, but excited, and waited to see what would happen. Now, he’s ready to attend himself, and has spoken to Svetlana and Gaetano, both of whom he’d already known at least a little (more Svetlana than Gaetano). While he is a Speaker for his pack, there is also a younger woman who is also one, so he will not be leaving them without.
Upon Miara's invitiation not only of the 2013 seminar, but of training in one's own pack, he immediately took her up on the offer, and she spent a week in early March giving him personal training in Africa. Meeting and spending time with her has given him much to think about, and he will be attending the 2013 seminar.
