Waheed of Syliras

Physical Description
Name: Waheed of Syliras
Race: Benishira
Age: 23
Birthday: A.V. 489, 31st of Winter


Character Concept
Waheed is a simple, hardworking, man of simple needs, what he wishes for is simply a place to sleep, food and coin. He really wishes for nothing more of the small pleasures in life. But of course….He does have greater desires, mainly knowledge of his ancestry. Being a Benishira yet knowing little of his own people has cause a sort of void in his heart, an insatiable curiosity that grows and can only be sated by , assumingly, knowledge of his people, and by extension, the land they live in. However it is a curiosity that has yet to be acted upon, too fearful of speaking to any visitors of his people’s homeland, even more afraid of setting outside Syliras, this city of chivalry was where he had lived in his whole life.

Due to the fact neither he nor anyone else has knowledge of his parents, he has no traditional Benishiran last name and has thus been called Waheed of Syliras by any kinsman who have come across him, he would rather go by his name only. The fact he is called that simply enforces the regret he feels of not knowing his people, his only connection to them is appearance and more importantly the belief in Yahal. Such a thing has instilled within him the importance of family with no lack of aid from his adoptive parents, who were themselves, worshippers of Yahal and loved their young adoptive son as if he came from their own flesh and blood.

He cares greatly for the Scimitar he was found with as an orphan, serving as possibly the only link to the origins of his birth. It’s because of such reverence to the blade that he dedicates a portion his time three times a week to train in its use alongside the shield, something that perhaps would prove quite useful in the long run.

Other people often comment that Waheed would appear to be quiet at a glance, but is talkative enough when spoken to. Standing at 6 feet, this dark short haired man was just about the maximum, usual, height of a Benishira and Human. His green eyes are sharp and have been noted to glance around multiple times at an area, often giving others the impression he’s being cautious of things, but truth of the matter it is simply a habit he picked up when he traveled around the city, often memorizing the roads and any subtle changes that may occur. He has a slim physique but has been noted to have strong legs due to constant running.


His usual clothing consists of a blue wool shirt and brown pants. Over it he wears a set of leather armor, no one knows why he wears such an armor in a city such as Syliras, when asked he simply says that he feels even safer, a feeling further augmented by the Scimitar that hangs at his waist, the only thing he knows

Character History

An orphan, one day he was found by a small patrol of knights guarding the roads, almost missing the child completely if not for the infant’s cries. The Syliras knights, being who they are as part of a chivalrous order and followers of the tenants set by the former god of peace, brought him back to Syliras. His adoptive parents were an elderly couple who could bear no children in their youth due to the mother’s infertile womb. They loved the small benishiran orphan as if he truly were of their flesh and blood. The Husband, known as Bertram helped tend the Syliras Fields while the wife, known as Margaret, simply kept their humble abode neat and tidy while also taking care of the child Waheed.

It was due to the care of these people that Waheed grew up a healthy young man , and with the years passing the elderly couple passed. Margaret died of illness one night, her old body unable to take the strain of the disease that ravaged her body. Bertram simply died of a broken heart and passed in his sleep, to join his wife in the next life. During the years alone Waheed had become curious of the City, deciding to wander its vast expanses, due to his knowledge it had helped establish him as a courier of sorts, delivering letters and packages from one place and another.

During one such delivery he bumped into another Benishira, one that came from Ekytol , he was a scholarly sort, traveling the lands in order to gain knowledge. This scholar was quite shocked at the fact that Waheed knew so little of the Benishira and was more similar to the people of the city, with what little tie the scholar could spare, he explained tid bits of the Benishira’s history and traditions, little to gain permanent remembrance in Waheed’s mind, but it had left a great impression which furthered a question or two…..Where was he from? Who were his parents? And other questions along the lines, this has caused a desire yet realized in his mind, yet acknowledged and now it seeks to be free of its shackles…… and gain an answer.
