== Description ==
Dark skinned, with black hair braided with strips of leather. Sky blue eyes. Pronounced scar on his left cheek. Unkempt facial hair.
== Personality ==
Farhan has been beaten down over the years and it shows. He is usually more quietly spoken, and can struggle with dealing with others. However, when pushed out of his comfort zone, the quiet determination that has kept him going over the years shines through. He can speak passionately and persuasively, but lacks the confidence and drive to always do so. He prefers to approach things rationally, rather than emotionally. Farhan has lived a hard life in hard conditions for twelve years, and the accumulated physical and mental scars weigh on him. He struggles to open up. He is afraid of loss, but does not fear for himself. 
== History ==
Once a proud member of the Royal Guard of Alatheen, when the dynasty collapsed he was cast into irons. For a time he laboured, then fought for longer. He escaped once and fled to rejoin the royals under Queen Tamira in Halmyra. When the Cartels struck again and the line finally extinguished with her, Fahran was once again enslaved and thrown into the battle-line under a group of Izirian mercenaries working for one of the Izir Confederacy's Sultans. When left for dead after a battle against Erradan, Fahran crossed the desert alone, save for a wounded Irrax whom he nursed back to health. With his new loyal companion, they journeyed until they finally caught up to his former captors. In a deft night raid, he raised hell in the slave camp and broke out with as many of his friends and fellow captives as he could. While many died to the slavers' guns, he and scant twenty or so escaped aboard the seized mercenary ship, The Peacemaker, in hope of finding new lives with the Union...
