Name means 'black' in Kickapoo. Mahkate has experienced many years of life to where he has a new tale to tell every time you ask. But don't let his age fool you, he still has quite a spring in his step when he's in a good mood . He comes off as a very serious and strict Tokota, preferring the company of those who are older and more experienced instead of the younger generation. Above all he enjoys the peace and quiet of being alon e , disappearing during the day and being much more active at night...to the dismay of those he scares because he blends in so well with the shadows.
