Biography & Lore
Born the son of Kaptan and a Sand Elf guide, in the small city of Rab'ul, Musah was raised as a soldier with the knowledge of the desert sands. It would have been a fair and simple life if not for the complications of lesser men. The ruler of the city of Rab'ul, Mamud, was a crafty man, but known for corruption. While Musah's father was a strong opponent who more than once tried to shed light on the happenings.
One night when Musah was 14, their home was lit on fire. His father and mother were both killed but allowed Musah to flee into the sands. He looked for his mother's tribe, only to learn that Mamud had used his political skills and wealth to frame not only his father but also his mother's tribe for attempting to seize the city from the Empire. The entire tribe was killed, 'in battle' before any real investigations could be put forward. The event was casually swept under the rug away from the eyes of major cities.
With nowhere left to go, Musah traveled the empire seeing how other injustices were perpetrated by those hiding behind the might of the Empire, and he grew angry. He has slowly gathered a small following while preaching for change among the Empire. While he puts on a smile for the masses, he has only one thing in mind.
He wants to burn it all to the ground.
