Rimitorry, sometimes shortened to Rim, is a fictional character in Tribal: Bloody Beginnings by Tony James Nelson II. She is one of the Book’s most significant supporting characters and one of the central figures in the wider bloodline conflict connecting Alpha, Utrea, Gia, Nebu, and the next generation of children shaped by that war.
Rimitorry is the daughter of Alpha and Utrea. Because of that parentage, she occupies a uniquely unstable position in the story: she belongs to both worlds, yet is fully claimed by neither. She is portrayed as a lethal warrior, a politically important blood heir, and an emotionally crucial figure in the development of Thirty-Two, whom she helps move away from pure dehumanization and toward reclaimed identity.
She is also one of the clearest representatives of the Family of Alpha and Utrea, a fractured bloodline spread across kingdoms, loyalties, and hidden histories.
Overview
Rimitorry stands at the center of one of the Book’s most important family lines. She is not just a warrior or love interest, but part of a broken dynasty whose members have been separated across worlds, hidden, weaponized, abandoned, or raised under radically different loyalties.
The Book presents her as:
- the daughter of Alpha and Utrea,
- a fighter of extraordinary skill,
- a person divided between Gia and Nebu,
- and a key emotional and symbolic counterforce to the systems of numbering, conditioning, and erasure represented by the Tribe.
Biography
Origins
Rimitorry was born from the union of Alpha and Utrea, making her part of one of the most dangerous and politically charged bloodlines in Tribal: Bloody Beginnings. Her existence ties together royal power, tribal violence, and inherited conflict.
Her life is shaped from the beginning by separation, war, and divided legacy. Rather than growing up inside a stable family structure, she is raised in the shadow of what her parents became and what they did to one another.
Life between Gia and Nebu
Rimitorry spends part of her life in Gia with her mother, where she is connected to royal lineage and maternal influence. At the same time, she remains tied to her father and to the brutal world of Nebu. Alpha later describes her as someone who lives in both worlds, is accepted by neither, and is nevertheless trusted by both sides.
This divided identity is one of the defining facts of her character. She is not a simple representative of Gia or Nebu. She is a child of both, and that makes her both valuable and unstable within the politics of the story.
Warrior reputation
Rimitorry is repeatedly shown or described as an elite combatant. Even before her full identity is explained, she is framed as someone whose physical danger is immediately obvious. In the Council of Wolves sequence, she fights beside Alpha and Deathwave and is observed by Thirty-Two as being faster, stronger, and more complete than Deathwave in direct combat.
Her fighting style is instinctive, brutal, and efficient. She does not need spectacle to establish dominance; she simply overwhelms trained killers as if they are beneath her notice.
Capture and confrontation with Alpha
At a later stage of the story, Rimitorry is captured and brought into direct conflict with Alpha and Utrea. During that confrontation, Alpha publicly claims her as his daughter while also demonstrating that blood relation offers her no automatic safety. She is wounded, controlled, and treated as both family and strategic asset.
This reinforces one of the core tensions of her character: she is emotionally connected to the family line, but she is never fully protected by it.
Relationship with Thirty-Two
Rimitorry becomes one of the most important people in Thirty-Two’s life. Their relationship grows through danger, intimacy, and shared proximity to buried truths.
She is one of the very few people who rejects his number as a real identity. In one of the Book’s most symbolically important moments, she gives him the name Jabari Nthanda. This act matters because it opposes the Tribe’s practice of reducing people to functions and designations. Where the Tribe erases, Rimitorry names.
Her influence on Thirty-Two is one of the earliest and strongest acts of rehumanization in the story.
Family and siblings
Rimitorry’s family history is one of the most complicated in the Book. The story makes clear that she is part of a broken network of children scattered by war, secrecy, divided loyalties, and parental choices.
Reonniz
Reonniz is explicitly identified as Rimitorry’s brother. He is hidden away in Terra, protected in secret for years. His existence becomes one of the major family revelations in the Book and helps expand Rimitorry’s role beyond romance or combat into the broader dynastic mythology of the series.
The search for Reonniz becomes strategically urgent, especially once it becomes clear that powerful factions are moving to reach him first.
Eshari
Eshari is one of Rimitorry’s sisters and the sister most directly tied to the “left behind on the island” revelation. Rimitorry confirms that she always knew about this sister and says that Eshari remained with Alpha when Rimitorry left with Utrea. She later says she had seen her again during visits, describing her as “different now. Harder. Colder.”
Eshari later appears directly and speaks with bitterness about abandonment, saying that she waited for years on an island of murderers while others left. Her resentment gives important context to the family fracture and shows that Rimitorry’s sibling story is not merely hidden lore, but an active emotional wound inside the Book.
Zafira
Zafira is closely tied to the same sibling network and is treated within the story as part of the same fractured family structure. She shares notable traits with Rimitorry and is emotionally involved in the effort to reach Reonniz, at one point stating that Reonniz is “my brother too.”
Because the Book presents some of these family links through layered reveals and emotionally charged scenes rather than tidy exposition, Roovet Articles generally treats Zafira as part of Rimitorry’s sibling circle or immediate blood-linked family network.
Sakori
Sakori is also part of the same broken family web. He is shown interacting with Eshari and Zafira explicitly as brother, and he is present in the family-centered scenes involving Rimitorry, Reonniz, and the wider legacy of Alpha and Utrea.
Like Zafira, Sakori is best understood as belonging to the same fractured sibling generation surrounding Rimitorry, even where the Book unfolds those connections through scene and implication rather than a single clean genealogical statement.
Khalembo
Khalembo is treated by Rimitorry as her younger brother and is explicitly greeted by her as “little brother.” He represents one of the darkest expressions of the bloodline under Alpha’s side of influence. His path through Nebu, violence, and conquest makes him both family and warning.
The fractured family structure
One of the reasons Rimitorry’s family story stands out is that it is not presented as a neat lineage chart. The children tied to Alpha, Utrea, and the wider conflict are spread across places, loyalties, and histories. Some were taken, some hidden, some left behind, some raised under one parent rather than another, and some only discover each other through violence and revelation.
For that reason, any wiki treatment of Rimitorry works best when it presents her siblings as part of a fractured bloodline network rather than pretending the Book gives a simple family tree like a cheerful census report.
Personality
Rimitorry is intense, controlled, perceptive, and dangerous. She is capable of real tenderness, but never in a soft or naïve way. Her emotional life is shaped by war, divided inheritance, and the burden of knowing more than most people around her.
She is also unusually perceptive when it comes to identity. Where other characters accept numbers, titles, and roles at face value, Rimitorry often sees the wound underneath them. This is especially visible in the way she relates to Thirty-Two.
At the same time, she is not just emotionally sharp. She is politically significant. Her existence alone ties together two rival power worlds and makes her a living symbol of divided inheritance.
