Tulemak is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds.
History
Tulemak was previously a member of a werak in Ban-Ur, but he fled alongside Tatai and Urkai after a dispute with their chieftain, Onnekut. An egotistical and power-hungry chieftain, the werak had become divided into those willing to follow him with false support and those who refused to submit to his leadership. Of those who opposed him, Tatai called for a new chieftain and her mentor, Nukoni, challenged Onnekut for control of the werak. Despite Nukoni's superior hunting skills, Onnekut returned as the victor. Suspicious of the circumstances, Tatai, Urkai and Tulemak investigated only to find that Nukoni was murdered. It is strongly implied that Onnekut was responsible.
Gathering their belongings, they left the werak and Ban-Ur for the Cut where they encountered Burgrend. Burgrend agreed to stock them with supplies for their journey to the Sundom, however, only with Aloy's assistance in scavenging the required machine parts were they able to repay him.
Upon agreeing on a name for their werak, dependent on Aloy's response to a flashpoint, Tulemak headed for the Sundom to meet with Ohtur, in order to learn how to harvest machines for himself.
Personality
In contrast to his companions, Tulemak is level-headed and mature, and often plays the mediator between the two as a result.
