Zabi

video|right|300px right|300px 
Zabi kwaDarga is a former comrade-in-arms and bodyguard of Tigraini, who rose to become the second-in-charge after Unari following Kwatzi's rise. After the Batta riots, Zabi restored order and declared himself the new king of Batta, but omitted to mention the title "King of Hunziland".
==Early life & Marriage==
Zabi first rose to prominence during the Sack of Ashwadi, and came to become a companion warrior to Tigraini. He was later admitted to the royal bodyguard after the death of king Hunzabi.
He was married off by Tigraini to Bezkele kwaNura, whose mother had been from the kwaBatta dynasty.
==Kwatzi's reign==
Being appointed second spear of the royal bodyguard by Unari, Zabi showed himself to be a charismatic leader and a shrewd power player. He was reportedly the leader of the operation which saw the families of Ashga's officers arrested, forcing large parts of the rebel army into defection. However, this operation left Nekube and Unari even more hated by the people of Batta.
The second year of Kwatzi's reign saw a devastating drought lead to famine in Batta. This, coupled with the public humiliation of the mother of a servant girl, led to riots inside Batta.
During the riots, Unari was cut down by three of his own comrades, and his body was hacked to pieces and thrown out on the streets of Batta. Zabi rallied the remainder of the bodyguard as Nekube and Kwatzi fled. Zabi decided to interpret the king's exile from his capitol as an abdication, and then arranged an election amongst the warriors in Batta. Not surprisingly, they elected Zabi as king.
==Reign==
Zabi began his reign by arresting and executing nine males of the kwaBatta dynasty, as well as their families, on being suspected of "plotting" against him. He also arranged a Kwerugame festival, and took four beautiful young concubines for himself. Then immediately, two parts of his kingdom seceded, the south under the resurgent Kwatzi and the north under the Tigraini cousin Khewfra II. Preparing to deal swiftly with Kwatzi, Zabi assembled 2500 men (even though many of them were rather farmers and herders than warriors), when suddenly 3000 Wean soldiers from Wea Lejandi landed on Battan soil and captured one of the silver mines. The Weans then made an attempt to storm Batta, but were forced to retreat after a heat stroke.
Two years after this, Khefwa II, the cousin of Hunzabi I, tried to attack Batta too, and was nearly successful with his 2500 men. But Zabi, who had only 1800 men disposable, used a trap to leave the Ostrich Guard undermanned, and made a night attack on Khefwa's camp when the pretender was storming Batta. Khefwa was forced to retreat, and was briefly captured, but managed to escape by untying his ropes using a bone-saw made from a lion jaw.
Despite this victory, which has secured Zabi's reign in the northern parts of his kingdom, he is becoming increasingly unpopular, even referred to as "Zabi kwaNyza" ("Zabi of the Pussy") for his unwillingness to confront the Wea Lejani occypying parts of his kingdom.
