Zarad

Zarad was the Chief Vizier and a skilled sha'ir who lived in Halwa in 1367 DR.
==Description==
Zarad always donned black-and-white striped robes, making him easy to spot at court.
==Activities==
Though he served as the caliph's vizier, Zarad was the true ruler of Halwa. All of Caliph Hava al-Gatil's orders came directly from Zarad.
Zarad used his influence to enact an unfair taxation system for several years, allowing him to amass a great fortune before dismissing the tax before the caliph could discover what was going on.
He hoped to one day marry the Caliph's eldest daughter, Sikayah, to solidify a potential claim on the throne.
==History==
Zarad had been the caliph's adviser since the caliph was a mere child, allowing him to develop a firm control over his actions throughout the years.
==Relationships==
The sha'ir was served by a powerful dao referred to only as "Zarad's Pet".
==Rumors & Legends==
Zarad planned to marry the caliph's eldest daughter to cement his rule over Halwa.
