## History

Maha ibn Rashid, a seventh-generation Anarch Assamite born in Tehran in 1953, has dedicated her unlife to fighting against oppression and injustice. She learned the values of justice and resistance from her family who was involved in the resistance movement against the Shah's regime. Her skills in gathering intelligence and disrupting the regime's operations made her a master manipulator and strategist in the rebellion.

After her embrace in 1979, Maha joined the anarch movement to fight for justice and freedom from a new perspective. Her efforts drew attention from the regime, and she fled the country, leaving behind everything she knew. Maha became a valued member of the anarch community and a sought-after mentor and advisor, especially among young Kindred new to the anarch lifestyle. Her ability to negotiate and compromise, finding solutions that benefit all parties involved, made her a successful Visionary and Mentor.

Maha's sire, Vizier Ramiel, recognized her potential and taught her everything he knew about the Vizier caste. After her embrace, Maha traveled extensively, honing her skills and learning all she could about the Kindred world. Her reputation as a fair and just mediator earned her respect, and she was often called upon to help settle disputes between different factions.

Today, Maha ibn Rashid is recognized as one of the greatest Viziers of her time, a master of manipulation and political strategy. However, her legacy goes beyond her impressive accomplishments. Her role as a mentor and teacher inspired countless young Kindred and empowered them to fight for justice and freedom. Her wisdom and experience continue to guide the anarch movement towards a brighter future.

### Haven

Maha doesn't have a single main Haven. Instead, she has multiple smaller ones that function like safe houses. Each of these locations has been given a deceptive name to prevent anyone who might overhear from learning too much about them:

* **"The Haven"** - a small, unassuming apartment located in the heart of downtown Seattle. The apartment is sparsely furnished and has few decorations, giving it the appearance of a generic, temporary residence.
* **"The Ritz"** - a suburban home located in a quiet, residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Seattle. Maha has taken great pains to make it appear as though it is unoccupied, with overgrown landscaping and boarded-up windows. The interior of the home is sparsely furnished and contains only the essentials for survival.
* **"The No-Tell Motel"** - a sun-proofed RV that is left parked in various locations around Seattle. The RV is equipped with all of the necessary amenities for survival, including a small kitchen and bathroom.
* **"The Foxhole"** - a large, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Seattle. Maha has made it their own, outfitting it with comfortable furnishings and decorations that reflect their tastes and interests. The warehouse is located in a remote area and is difficult to access, making it an ideal location for someone who prefers solitude and privacy.
