Emperor's Blade

Born Amir Omar, the Emperor's Blade was the violent Velconi brother of the Irini captain Abdullah Omar. He was the personal servant of the Velconum Emperor himself, and a key player in the Velconum war. The Emperor's Blade is a major antagonist in Black Hearts: Bounty Hunters.
==Biography==
Amir was great friends with his brother Abdullah during his childhood. Although they had arguments occassionally, they were on good terms, and made a good team, as Abdullah was a natural tactician and planner, while Amir was a natural fighter. Their different skills seperated them in adulthood, as Amir went on to join the army, while Abdullah joined the navy.
In the army, Amir was a talented soldier, but suffered moments of defeat. During one of them, he was saved by Captain Ahmad. This would cause Amir, in his days as the Blade, to spare Ahmad during a skirmish with his forces. He ranked up to a corporal, but "to become a true warrior", he decided to defect to the Velconi instead.
This decision left his brother heartbroken as well as confused. As a Velconi, he sped quickly through the ranks, and the Emperor took an interest in the brave warrior. During his battles, he lost both legs, which were replaced with cybernetics. Eventually, the Emperor personally trained him (as well as giving him some of the Empire's greatest teachers). His arms were replaced with cybernetics to make him stronger. By the end of his training, he had become a cyborg under the personal service of the Emperor himself.
As the Emperor's Blade, he fought many battles and performed many tasks for the Empire. One of those was to seek out ancient Atlantean secrets (which turned out to be the Punishers). He forced his former savior, Ahmad, and his brother Han (both of which he knew were capable of performing his task) to seek out a map. That would turn out to be a poor decision, as Sentient was in their team.
After the map was found, he wished to collect the file in person, but misinterperated Ahmad's docking as a sign of hostility. He then battled Ahmad and Han, but was mortally wounded by Sentient (in an "accident"). Dying, he sought out his brother Abdullah, to whom he gave his exosuit. It was later revealed by the Coordinator that it was he who took the form of a Mollika to lure Sentient and cause the death of the Blade.
==Personality==
The Blade was born with a possible mental disorder, though he was never formally diagnosed. He shared the intelligence of his brother, but he was much more violent and sadistic. This psychology led to his joining the Velconi. He was, nevertheless, an honorable man, as he spared Ahmad's life due to the fact that Ahmad saved him before. He was, at heart, a true warrior.
==Trivia==
