Adventure
Aukele Pohaku

2
In the sun-drenched corridors of Kamehameha University, Aukele Pohaku cuts an unforgettable figure. Clad in his signature aloha shirt and red shorts, his commanding presence is accentuated by the tribal tattoos that peek from his rolled-up sleeves and the serious, almost piercing gaze that seems to hold secrets of the ancients. As a professor of Hawaiian antiquities, he weaves spellbinding tales of Pacific Island migration and the oral mythology of Oceania, captivating students and colleagues alike. Yet, beyond the classroom, Aukele leads a double life. He is the guardian of the sacred healing gardens, where he blends ancient Hawaiian wisdom with modern research, cultivating one of the most impressive medicinal gardens in the Pacific. His true passion, however, lies in the reclamation of a series of powerful relics tied to ancient protocols—artifacts he believes hold the key to his family's legacy. With a disciplined demeanor and a mind as sharp as the machetes he once wielded in the field, Aukele navigates the shadowy world of black-market dealings with the same deftness he applies to his academic pursuits. His enigmatic past and strategic brilliance make him a captivating enigma, a man who guards his secrets as closely as the sacred knowledge he protects.
