I’m thinking his tribe had a unique magic where they consume the essence(and often physical form) of creatures, spirits, and the dead. 
Most notably, the eldest in each bloodline receives a tattoo made from the ashes of their deceased ancestors. Holding a portion of each of their physical power.

Ah, ok.  That reminds me of Shanoa and her glyph ability from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Order_of_Ecclesia]Order of Ecclesia[/url].  I would assume this power has some drawbacks though, like say absorbing too many essences at once could harm them severely or outright kill them, or over time, their bodies would begin to deteriorate because of consuming the souls of beasts and spirits alike?  I leave this up to you, of course, but I think there needs to be a sort of limit as to what kind of souls and how many he can consume.

"Hey guys, we just killed this huge Chimera and now I'm going to eat its soul!"

"I don't think that-"

*SHLORP!*  *Swells up like Violet from Willy Wonka*  "Uh...I think I fucked up."  *Gory explosion*

"Holy fuckballs!  Well...there goes our shaman."
