Hirem The Lost Desert Wanderer

[Hirem]

Hirem THE LOST DESERT WANDERER Physical Information Race: Benshira Birthday & Age : 22nd Day of Summer, 484 AV (25 years old) Gender: Male Physical Description Named for his considerable brawn, this man is a giant among the Benshira. His skin is soft brown, like the very sand in the desert, but his skin is hardened from a life of training. His eyes are a light brown, like soft sand dunes sifting over you. His hair is a dull black, with a small beard around his mouth. Character Concept (Post A.V. 509) The first thing that anyone should know about Hirem is that he is a Benshiran man, and always shall be. Proud and stubborn to a fault, he will never relent unless of his own will or the will of his god, Yahal. He believes that all actions and all paths are dictated by the god of purity, and will often let his feet wander, caught in Yahal's guidance. However, in recent times, his faith has gone through a serious crisis. Yahal seems a less definite guide than before, so Hirem often relies on his human qualities. Kind, honest and loyal to the end, this Benshiran man seeks to redeem himself for the debacle at Ahnatep and the lives he nearly lost in his foolish anti-Eypharian crusade. Character History (Post 509 A.V.) Hirem was born originally as Hirem from the tents of Alachi, from the sons of Rapa. He grew up as a shepard, showing his incredible strength at an early age. He also proved to be very loyal to Yahal, and when he arose some mornings, he begged his father to move with Yahal's wish. Hirem, when he became 17, travelled to Yahebah, and there he studied Benshira history. Later, when he was 21, he announced his intention to start his own tent. His relatives truly believed he was strong enough to handle one, but he refused to live near his family, instead travelling beyond the dunes. At his 24th birthday, he came back to Yahebah, covered in gore and blood, with a rusted sword in his hand. He told them what he had done; he had killed a group of Eypharians. His parents and friends shocked at this development, Hirem found he had no choice but to forsake his people and flee into the desert. He never gave up his crusade, however, and slowly gathered a small warband together with the intent to slaughter all Eypharians. At the start of Winter, 509 A.V., a Rapa named Netanel found Hirem's band of warriors and tried to dissuade the young Benshiran from his task. He told Hirem of a horrific omen he had recieved, one that spelt doom for the warriors, but Hirem did not listen. However, his companions were not so resolute, and abandoned him to his fate. Hirem knew that he could not assault the city of the Eypharians by himself. Instead, he decided on a more covert attack; assassination. He made his way into the city, and found a job at the Garden of the Concubines as a Gardener, a protector of the Concubine maids. This goal was achieved thanks to the persuasion of the Gardener Zulo by the Benshiran woman Liviya, who had taken an interest in Hirem. The Festival of Dira proved an eventful day in Hirem's life, one that would shatter his concept of a Eypharian free future. Near the end of the festival, Hirem tried to assassinate Jibade Osahar, a popular politician in the Pressorah's court. He was unsuccessful in his attempt, however, and learned in horror that Osahar was marked by Yahal. As Hirem and his unwitting accomplice Liviya were dragged into prison, Hirem was thrown into a serious crisis of faith that he may not recover from.
