History: He was raised happily, as a normal child born to his father and mother. His father taught him the rudiments of the Spice Merchant arts, while his mother instructed him in etiquette, music and courtly manner. At some point he was captured by illithids and was tortured.

He is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers his face most of the time. He sports a long blonde beard, and similarly colored long hair. He wears round tiny glasses practically rammed into his face.

Personality: He is irritable and easily angered. He is a bit of a bully and is not afraid to use his stature and powers to intimidate and hurt. He is submissive, is generally bored by everything, but will take part in whatever people ask of him. He is by nature obliging.

History: Born the oldest of a large religious eastern family, he was no stranger to responsibility. While he appears to be a normal Human, he's... not quite right.
