Notes: Most Askari live atop the Maisha, called keepers, they were once thought to be those that kept the Maisha in good condition. In many ways considered priests or angels and were as sacred as the Maisha themselves.

They have developed into the symbiosis that exists with the symbiote, very rarely do the keepers themselves fall victims to the digestive jugs but they are used by them to dispose of waste which is broken down by the plant.
