Dr. Fate (Khalid Navari)

Khalid Navari is a brilliant archaeologist and historian who specialises in ancient civilizations and artefacts. He is a first-generation Berber-American, having immigrated to the United States with his family at a young age.

## Physical and Personality Description

Khalid has a soft facial features and strong weathered hands. His face is bearing lots of tattoos and so does his back. He wears a sleek, form-fitting, and durable outfit adorned with patterns inspired by Berber art. Unlike previous incarnations, he does not possess a helmet, but instead has intricate markings of ancient magic that appear on his face and arms when he taps into the amulet's power. The amulet itself adorns his chest and pulsates with a vibrant energy, reflecting his connection to the ancient sorcerer Iblis.

He's also outspoken, dedicated and aspiring, but they're less prominent and often intertwined with being possessive as well. His friendliness, though, this is what he's most well-liked for. He is also always keen on learning something new, which can come across as narrow-minded, selfish and detached. But usually this balanced out by the fact that Khalid wants to know more to better help others.

## History

Khalid's cultural heritage and the stories of his ancestors have always fascinated him, instilling a deep sense of pride in his roots and a desire to preserve the knowledge of his people's history. While leading an archaeological expedition in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Khalid discovers a hidden chamber within an ancient tomb. Inside, he finds the Amulet of Ibis, a mysterious artefact imbued with the power of the ancient sorcerer Iblis. The amulet recognizes Khalid as a worthy heir to its power, and he is transformed into the newest Doctor Fate.

### Year 6

Khalid makes his debut in "Amulet Warriors", where he and other amulet-wearing heroes are chosen to protect the magical multiverse.

## Powers

Upon becoming Doctor Fate and harnessing the Amulet of Ibis, Khalid gains access to incredible mystical abilities, blending the ancient wisdom of his ancestors with the magic of Ibis.

## Trivia

He is partially based on **Khalid Ben-Hassin** and Khalid Nassour. Just with my own spin on it, since nobody ever created a superhero with Berber heritage.
