Human Fighter (Battlemaster) Lvl 1

History

Ebrahim was born in far away Zakhara; his father was a wealthy sultan and doted upon his son. Ebrahim never wanted for anything as he grew up. Spoiled, with more than just a bit of a chip on his shoulder, Ebrahim made few friends. If anything, he made enemies pretty much wherever he went. During his teen years, he was often in scraps in the local taverns, battling with guards, merchants, sailors, and whoever, often over gambling or the affections of a pretty girl.

Ebrahim had really only one friend in the world, a silk merchant and fellow rapscallion named Bassam. The two were often seen together tearing up the town. As Bassam rose in the Silk Guild, he was ordered to travel to make some new trade agreements in Calisham in Faerun. Needing a bodyguard and not wanting to be parted from his friend, Bassam invited Ebrahim to join him.

While they were away on their first voyage, a mysterious tragedy struck. Ebrahim's father disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Without his father's powerful influence, Ebrahim's many enemies would make a return home his last. So Bassam returned to Zakhara without him and Ebrahim set out to make a name for himself as a bodyguard and freelance adventurer in this strange new land of Faerun.

Description

Ebrahim is a young man in his early 20s. He is well adorned in the Zakharan style, proof of his wealthy upbringing. His skin, hair, and eyes are all dark as befits his desert origins and he speaks with an accent not well known in Faerun. Overall, he is an oddity.

Ebrahim has lost little of his swagger and arrogance. He is always eager for a fight and will take offense at just about anything, hoping to prove himself to prospective employers, potential enemies, and himself alike. When he is working as a bodyguard however, he tempers these impulses, using his battle skills to keep his charge protected at all costs.
