Iktar

## Appearance

Common brown hair and pretty blue eyes with big dark bags around them,Iktar wore a tired look on his face with an occasional frown of anger. He had admirable speed,dexterous movements and a nimble body at a cost of his strength. He always wears a suit and tie no matter the occasion.

## Personality

Iktar is very impatient and does any job he gets his own way without others help. His short temper and violent personality get him in a lot of trouble as people he usually works with are just the kind he hates the most. Although he gets angry very easily, he usually calms down quickly, forgets and moves on.

## Backstory

Iktar was born into a rather poor family of 3, and so, even at birth, he was thought of as nothing more than a burden. His parents tried to kill him secretly multiple times but every time he had miraculously survived. When he grew older, at about age 12, things only became worse. His parents went into an even worse crisis and could not support him and his brothers anymore. Going into the crisis deeper and deeper his parents became desperate and in their desperation made a rash choice. They decided to sell young Iktar into slavery. They told him they are taking him to buy him toys, but he was a very smart boy, he knew very well just how desperate his parents were and what they were ready to do. He was sold to a man with great influence and wealth in his city. Immediately after being sold he was put to work hard labor with very little food. He worked day and night without rest. After 3 years of endless work worse than torture Iktars will was completely broken. He stopped having dreams of his parents taking him back from that torture and lost all his hopes of escape. He was working like any other day when a weird man visited his master. The strange man took a liking to Iktar, but he paid no attention it. The man requested his master to call Iktar in to talk to him and the master obliged. Iktar joined the man as he cannot deny a direct order from the master or he would get a severe beating like so many times before. The man sat in silence for some time simply looking at Iktar before finally reaching for something in his bag. The man pulled out a weird box with black and white squares all over it…

“Do you know what this is?” , Iktar stared in silence and the man continued-“This is called chess, it’s a game with simple rules but do not let that fool you,it is a very complex game only for the smartest.”, Iktar did not say a single weird.

“I would assume you don’t know how its played. There are 6 types of figures each with different movement patterns. The pawn can move 1 square each turn except the starting turn when it can move 2 squares, it eats other pieces diagonally. This is the rook, it can move vertically and horizontally for as far as it wants. Knights can move in an L shape and the bishop can move as far as they want diagonally. The queen is the most powerful of the figures as it can move in any direction for as far as she wants, and her male counterpart is rather useless in battle but if you are to lose him you will lose the game, understand?”, Iktar simply nodded and the man was satisfied with anything at this moment.

“Would you like to try playing chess?”, Iktar was caught off guard, he would never have thought someone would play with him and he did not know how to respond so he sat in silence.

“I’ll take that as a yes”-the man said as he played the pieces on the table.

The man moved first and Iktar followed, Iktar had some trouble at first as he had never played a game like that before, but as he played for longer he got better and better. This impressed the man, but the difference in experience was obvious. He was just about to defeat Iktar when he pulled his hand figure back. The man put on a serious face before asking Iktar.

“Do you want to be free?”

This was the second time the old man caught Iktar off guard but this time Iktar knew the answer very clearly and he simply nodded looking down at his knees. The man put his piece next to the board and left-”Alright then”

He was yet again alone, alone with an unfinished chess game in front of him. He thought about the man, what he said.\*Am I finally going to be free?!No wait what if it’s a trap, what if-\* when he heard a scream followed with a loud thud. And as he was about to check what happened the weird man came out of the room blood on his clothes and hands.

“Run, escape, this is your only chance kid, but wait! Take this with you.”He handed him the chess board “Something to remember me by”

And so Iktar ran…
