Samma Ha Mashhit

Samma Ha Mashhit is a Croan born warrior in the service of the Joyful Kingdom and former king of Croan. The son of Alcaeus and Enkid (herself an ancestor of the Pasiphae, mother of Minotaur, who was killed by Alcaeus in a fit of drunken rage caused by a jealousy demon), Samma is the father of Manoa Ha Mashhit and Arian Ha Mashhit the current king of rend and queen of Croan respectively.
== Prophecy ==
During the Modors reign over Croan, a family summoned a demon accidentally due to the confusion of the time (due to Ay's running around harvesting pregnant human women) they received a prophecy from a demon (The Jester specifically). The Jester promised the couple a strong boy in exchange for never consuming alcohol or hyenas, never approaching corpses, and never cutting their hair. 
=== Early life ===
Samma soon grew to be a strong man, and was granted the demons power whenever in danger. One time he ripped a lions head off when it threatened to attack his town of Zorest (famed for its parasitic wasps that make their nests painlessly inside living organisms). He then ate honey from the felled beast, thus creating Honeylion. Then he riddled his groomsmen (a term designing his closest friends) to what he had eaten, a bet on the answer to be recompensed with silk sheets. When they couldn’t, they threatened his wife with arson. Samma then killed 30 familiars (sympathizers of the Ay's) to repay his debt to his groomsmen, and was imprisoned for the crime. 
During this time in prison, Samma's fiancee was married to another. When Samma was released he tied foxes together with a torch and burned his fiance's fathers fields to ash. Then a mob gathered and Samma killed many before fleeing to a cave. The authorities came, demanding to know where he hid. The townsfolk tied Samma and gave him to the familiars, where the demon once again gave him his power, and he killed them all with the Mulejaw, a strange weapon he used gifted by the Jester. Having eliminated the familiars and Ay's in the city he was later made a judge of Zorest. 
=== Judge of Zorest ===
The judge, Samma, after using the Mulejaw to eliminate many familiars and roaming Ay's lay claim to the title of king of Croan. He went to Zorests' enemy city of Batkhir, which was filled with familiars. Before reaching the city he was approached by a peripateticienne. When he was cornered by the familiars in the brothel, he used his powers to charge through a closed door, charging through the city with the door as his shield until he reached a hill outside of town (Samma's Halt). He fled to a town where he is smitten by yet another peripateticienne. The familiars learn of this and buy her off with 100 000 pieces of silver to find his weakness. 
=== Fall of Samma ===
She binds Samma three times, every time feigning an attack of familiars,, pressuring him into revealing his secret. weaving his hair in a loom in 7 strands, once again pretexting a familiar attack, Samma breaks the loom, but it cuts his hair. Finally he reveals that his hair is his strength, he is bound, but cannot escape. The familiars gouge his eyes out, and Samma is prepared to be sacrificed to Modor in an Ay fertility ritual. he is taken to the temple, where he is ridiculed in front of 3 000 familiars. Samma, when recuperating against a pillar, pleads to the Jester for his Mulejaw, the jester accepts in exchange for his life, and Samma receives his strength once again, breaking the pillar, crashing the temple with all the 3 000 familiars. Samma didn't die however, and fled the country to escape his debt to the Jester.
=== The Joyful Kingdom ===
When Samma reached the joyful kingdom his reputation had preceded him and he was brought before the Sorcerer King. The king had the deal with the Jester reviewed and broken due to technicalities (using a loophole that Samma had lost his sight prior to signing and was a servant to the joyful kingdom first, thus rendering the demons claim moot. 
Samma settled and took a wife in the joyful kingdom and had to children. He was called upon by the Sorcerer King to aid Nathan, a contender to the throne of Rend, legitimize his claim. Samma undertook this quest alongside Hagridden the Red. 
The king of rend later legitimized Samma's son Manoa as his heir for services rendered, who ascended to the throne of Rend later in life.
