Despite becoming an orphan at a very young age Faruq, born as Liam, doesn't have a very turbulent childhood. Being born near the Erdene Zuu monastery. The monks effortlessly take over his upbringing and raise him in a stable, safe, and serene environment.

## Flying the nest

studying the ways of the monks, Liam stays at the monastery until the age of 16. Knowing his father was an immigrant from the United States he leaves to seek out the city his father is from, Silicon Valley in California.

## Change of plans

Reaching the city Faruq quickly gets overwhelmed by the fast-paced city life. The city being so different from what he's used to. Making no progress in finding family members or information about his father he contemplates going back to Mongolia. That's when he meets Senna. A young student with whom he immediately connects and they become inseparable. Having a stable lifeline in the city Faruq settles down and finishes his psychiatry study at Stanford.

## Turn for the worst

After graduating at a young age, Faruq and Senna move to Foster City where Faruq starts his own private practice. After running it for a year he starts treating a young girl who's being abused. In the following months, he slowly starts making progress even supporting the girl when she decides to fill in charges of abuse and rape. The process, however, is very slow. When two days later Faruq comes home he immediately senses something is wrong. He makes his way to the living room

## Making a hero a villain

Senna is being held by a large man holding a knife to her throat. Faruq manages to remain in place and lets himself be captured. For hours he tries talking to the man hoping he, at least, can get Senna and their unborn baby to safety. It doesn't work and Senna gets stabbed before the man angrily turns his attention towards him. Now tired, angry, and in despair, Faruq words get a different tone. No longer aimed at keeping everyone safe. The intruder kills himself one hour later.

## The dangerous kind of friendly

His name says it all. Faruq will find out the truth about a situation or get a confession out of a person. No matter what! His loyalty lies with Ra's al Ghul and for his leader, there's absolutely nothing he wouldn't do meaning everybody else has to be careful. Faruq is actually a kind and gentle person, especially for a ghul. He's not easily triggered or angered and a very good judge of character.

## The martyr

His good judge of character and his background as a psychiatrist makes Farug the most terrifying martyr in the league. Sometimes not using physical tools to affect pain but playing mental games to get what he wants. Answers. A skill that's shown when he's send on a mission with Kaydan, who attacked him earlier that day. When the two return Kaydan is merely a ghost of the person who left Nanda Parbat

## Foe to friend

Kaydan is so affected that Ra's has to place him on non-operational. However, this has to change when the Sagitari attack Nanda Parbat and manage to kidnap Briana Torres and Maliyah Kent. While Faruq is interrogating one of the Sagitari members, who Ra's managed to capture, he suddenly finds Kaydan waiting for him relaying the message that Ra's is leaving Nanda Parbat so they're in charge untill Nyssa al Ghul arrives. Kaydan eventually also reveals his problem with panic attacks after their mission together. It causes some argument between the two as it was never Faruq's intention for Kaydan to be this affected and after stopping a new panic attack they part ways on better grounds than they where.

When Ra's al Ghul returns a couple of days later. Faruq is ordered to come with him and a team of the League's best fighters. Faruq, not being one of the best fighters, is brought along to study the council when Ra's takes them hostage to find out who ordered the attack. His eye quickly falling on the council member, Gal-Eth
