Akksul

Akksul is the leader of the Roekaar. He was originally studied under Moshae Sjefa, alongside Jaal Ama Darav. Unlike Jaal, he was better of the two and was considered a curious and brilliant student. However years of prolonged war against the kett, has embittered him with the Resistance ineffectiveness against the alien invaders forcing him to create his own faction.

Background
Akksul once was the Moshae's best student and studied the Remnant under her. However Akksul was later captured by the kett. He spent a year in a forced labor camp, suffering at the hands of his captors, before he managed to escape along with a fellow angara named Thaldyr. Upon his return to the Resistance, he was changed, no longer caring about his discoveries on the Remnant, Akksul focused all his energies on destroying the kett.

Unwilling to follow the order of the Resistance, and bitter about they inability to rescue, Akksul formed the Roekaar, named after angara warriors of legend, to fight the kett on his own terms.

Mass Effect: Andromeda
After the arrival of the races from the Andromeda Initiative, Akksul's cause began to grow. The already heighten xenophobia amongst the angara caused many younger angara to turn their hatred towards all alien invaders joining the ranks of the Roekaar.
