Shaquarava is both the name of a character from Taelon myth and also the name given to the vestigial organs on the hands of Taelons, Jaridians, Kimera, and various hybrids thereof that allow the bearer to release energy through the hands. On Earth, an imprisoned murderer named James Pike saw himself as the incarnation of Shaquarava. He saw Da'an as Umrathama and believed it was his duty to kill Da'an. He attempted an assassination and failed. Before he died, Pike told William Boone that he must take on the mantle of Shaquarava to protect humanity from Umrathama ("Avatar").
