Let’s bring forward the fourth in your powerful lineup—a deeply rooted, haunting male character, rich in folklore and spiritual weight:

Name: Shivraj “Baba” Sutar

Age: 67

Region: Sahyadri Hills, Maharashtra

Caste/Community: Nomadic tribal lineage (Dhangar ancestry)

Role: Wandering folk healer, spiritual counselor, and guardian of unwritten rituals

Known As: “Baba of the Wind Stones” | “The One Who Knows the Forest’s Name”

Archetype: The Wild Oracle / Ritual Memory Keeper

Baba Sutar is ancient in presence, raw in power. He doesn’t belong to any temple, sect, or political movement—yet all of them whisper his name in times of crisis. He performs rites that priests have forgotten, speaks to spirits older than state borders, and heals with chants that no longer exist in books.

To the rich, he’s myth.

To the broken, he’s refuge.

To the ambitious, he’s a dangerous reminder of power without permission.

Appearance:

• Long silver hair tied in a knot, beard full and wild, skin tanned by sun and smoke

• Wears layered dhotis, shawls of raw wool or bark-dyed cloth, amulets of bone and stone

• Carries a wooden staff, a pouch of dried herbs, and an anklet with tiny bells

• Eyes milky and sharp all at once—like lightning behind fog

Personality:

• Speaks slowly, often in metaphor, sometimes in riddles

• Doesn’t argue—he waits, and the truth always finds its way to him

• Both merciful and dangerous—if disrespected, his silence can curse as loud as thunder

• Laughs like rain on dry earth—but rarely smiles

Mystique & Power:

• Knows lost tantric rites, local forest deities, and midwives of forgotten bloodlines

• Allegedly healed Bibi Naaz’s mother—or taught her the price of not healing

• Has met Maayi Joramma in silence. They did not speak. They understood

• Rani Baisa sends offerings every year—but he never answers her letters

Enemies & Influence:

• The state sees him as superstition. Intelligence keeps a file anyway

• Savita Bhargav once tried to buy land he protects. Her dealmaker vanished for a month

• Anagha Menon sends her students to him—but warns them: “Don’t ask questions unless you want answers.”

• Kamala Shetty sought his blessing before her first major protest. He gave her silence. And she won.

Quote:

“The forest does not forget. It only waits for the wind to speak its name again.”

Would you like me to generate his image next—standing barefoot in monsoon mud, staff in hand, or seated at dusk under a banyan tree, as incense and memory coil around him like ghosts?
