Ghiyath was a sorcerer and member of the Cult of Ruhmal. He discovered how to raise an immortal and loyal zombie. If the ritual was performed shortly after the victim died, the zombie retained his memory and intelligence. The Cult saw it as a menace to them, as after they were taught in the ritual Ghiyat was attacked and left as dead inside a sewer. Legend of the Burning Sands Roleplaying Game, pp. 149-150

Ghiyath recovered enough to leave the Kingdoms and moved to the Burning Sands, to Medinaat al-Salaam. The journey in the desert left him in the brisk of dying by thirst and hungry. He was found by two Ashalan Sun-Riders, Mahrokh and Azarnoush, who saved his life. In return Ghiyath killed the two women during the night with his dark magic.

The Immortal Caliph had made an alliance with the Queen Hensatti, due to scarcity of water in the Empire of the Scarab. The Senpet established an embassy in Medinaat al-Salaam, and Ghiyath was the Caliph's connection with the people of the Scarab Empire. The Senpet General Abresax was appointed as commander of the Senpet guard in the city. Over a Flying Carpet guided by Al-Hazaad he entered through the window into the Senpet courtesan Asori's chambers. He informed the Caliph ordered to assemble Abresax and his commanders, because she had orders for them. Keseth appeared and told about the newcomers Abresax had enslaved to work in the mines, and specially about a woman who he called as the Selqet. During the night Keseth was kidnapped.
