Indus Tarbella

Indus Tarbella is Lady Mera's incredibly loyal, buff, and dim-witted bodyguard.

His epithet, "Barrier", creates barriers of varying size, be they big enough to act as bulletproof walls or small enough to hold in his hand.

Appearance ( On the Physical Plane.. )
Indus has dark skin, caramel eyes, extremely thick black eyebrows, and white hair with tan running through, shaped in a mohawk. He has an incredibly muscular physique. He has a large upper body, however his lower body is much smaller. Indus also sports tattoos on his face, shoulders, chest, and arms. These tattoos are symbols of the sun (on his chest) and of turtle shells (on his shoulders.)

His normal outfit is a tucked pair of black shorts with orange insides, which he cuffs on the legs. He also wears track shoes, with the same colors as his shorts. He occasionally wears a beige sweater vest over a white button up shirt (that is much too small for him) with an orange tie as a disguise.

Personality ( Lovely )
Indus seems to be a gentle giant. He's a blockhead with the intelligence of a child, but a good heart, and genuine dedication to his tasks. He seems to value strength, loyalty and honor which caused him to train with Mera. However, he remains polite even when he had to target Molly, Giovanni and Sylvie. The only time he has been implied to be angry or truly serious is regarding Mera, first when he explains her "curse" to Molly and second when Molly refuses to go with him to have her epithet taken away to help Mera.

Indus is extremely gullible and just about everybody he's met has taken advantage of that fact. He's also got a very one-track-mind and very rarely thinks thoroughly about his actions. His emotions often cause him to make foolish, rash decisions as well. He is noted for usually always giving his name and epithet away, noted by Sylvie to be something "only an idiot would do".

He also has a fondness for dinosaurs.

History
Not much is known about Indus' backstory, but he originally was born and lived in the Desert Country before he met Mera. He was known to live on a poor diet of (partially?) sand, which he admits is strange, since he ended up bulking up so much.

After meeting Mera, she bested him in some kind of duel: where Mera defeated him with a single hit, leading to Indus following Mera as her bodyguard. They also seemed to live with each other throughout the desert, as Mera has also eaten sand with him.

Since then, he has been living with Mera at her apartment, doing things like laundry and taxes (disguised as "Training.") Indus also sleeps on the floor, however it is unknown if he's forced to. Not much else is known about their apartment life, either.
