Azif

Azif the Smooth was a gaijin originally from the city of al-Bhagvar, located along the Sand Road of the Caliphate. He fled after a youthful life of crime and murder and eventually wound up as the captain of the Obedient Slave, pursuing a career of mixed piracy, smuggling, and legitimate trade. Bold and ambitious, Azif sailed directly to the Tortoise town of Slow Tide Harbor, which paid off for him with considerable wealth and improved contacts. He has cultivated alliances with the town's officials and merchants, as well as with the crime lord Boss Hana. Azif was fluent in Rokugani as well as several gaijin languages including his native Nehiri. He kept rooms at the local inn Suitengu's Rest for meetings with locals but resided in his own ship.

== Smuggling ==
In addition to more conventional smuggling, which included gaijin items from the Ivory Kingdoms such as spices, exotic jewelry, images of Ivindi gods and animals, saris, or kukri knives, Azif also brought in gaijin pepper selling it through the Tortoise networks and various fronts to the Daidoji Harriers and Scorpion shinobi. He also smuggled in a substance called "Blue Flame," a potent drug created from a flowering plant unknown in Rokugan. Dark Tides, pp. 7, 26
