🦂 Sayf al-Hikma, “The Sword of Wisdom”
Clan: Assamite (Sorcerer Caste)
Apparent Age: Early 40s
A tall, slender Middle Eastern man stands in dim torchlight. He wears layered robes in deep earth tones—sandy browns, muted reds, and faded indigo—cut in the loose, flowing style of a 12th-century Andalusian or Syrian scholar. His outer robe is belted with a leather sash holding small pouches and scroll cases. Underneath, glimpses of chainmail or quilted armor peek through—practical, worn for survival. His face is narrow and austere, framed by a neatly trimmed beard. His eyes are sharp, dark, and heavy-lidded—full of intellectual scrutiny and patient menace. Around his neck hangs a small, silver talisman inscribed with Arabic calligraphy. In one hand he holds a rolled parchment; in the other, a slender dagger with geometric designs on the hilt. The lighting is low, casting shadows across his features, giving him an air of mystery and danger.
