Raika is a former political spy and (briefly) assasin. Their perogative was to provide intel to the ruling families of Kentoku through their alias as an entiry calling herself The Wraith.
Unable to speak since birth, Raika uses a specialized, directed form of ideatalk to communicate, even with those generally unable to receive it, though this has been shown to cause mild discomfort. In situations where this is untennable or they are low on energy, Raika can also sign.

The Wraith
Raika's village was sacked in their early adolescence, an event they have yet to elaborate upon. It is implied that it was at this time they received their mask and perfected their hybrid technique. Rather than proper invisibility, Raika utilizes both their mask and a fusion of willhammer and sighteye abilities to screen themself from perception. Think similarly to a Somebody Else's Problem field.
Raika put this ability to immediate use. Assuming the role as a female Dasakan mercenary going by the title of "The Wraith" Raika conducted espionage for whichever of the houses would pay them for their service.
Most noteable among these was when the former head of Clan Mahstet, Kayteo, Ordered Raika to carry out an assasination. For this purpose the Wraith was gifted a pair of heated long daggers so as to make the wound appear the work of a soulsword. Little is known as of yet of this event, but the effects are shown to haunt the wanderer to this day. At some point before the start of the campaign, Raika had fought and defeated two Rahkshi: a lerahk and tuurahk. Due to the tuurahk's fear ability, the warrior had not slept for two days prior to arriving at Oki island.
