Masked Shaman

The Masked Shaman is a otherwise unnamed character that appears in the intro cutscene of Oddworld: Soulstorm.

Overview
The shaman is seen trying to convince Abe that he must cut his mouth stitches, claiming that they are "strings of oppression". Abe refusing, claiming that they are the only connections he or anyone else has of his mother. The Masked Shaman continues to try and warn Abe that despite the relative refuge the former Rupture Farms employees have found, it is only they who are free and only for that moment, "and this moment is over". As the Masked Mudokon says this, Abe's followers realize that they have been discovered, and begin to panic. As the caves begin to catch on fire, the Shaman tells Abe that, "the fate of your entire people is up to you". Suddenly, the ceiling gives way and the Masked Shaman is seemingly crushed by burning wood. However, his voice can heard throughout the raid on the Monsaic Cave, although never again.
