**Aabid El-Sadiq** is a senior politician in the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah who has been serving as a Member of the Kherfiyyan Advisory Cabinet as the Sultan's Advisor on Affairs of the Interior. He was appointed to this post by Sultan Robahim Ismael II due to his friendship with Robahim, rather than based on his merit.

Sadiq was born in 1912 to Ahmad El-Sadiq, who was serving as a senior assistant for the Sultans of Kherfiyyah at the time. Growing up, Aabid grew to be good friends with members of the Robahim Dynasty, namely the future Sultan of Kherfiyyah Robahim Ismael II. This friendship would prove extremely beneficial for Aabid, as when the last Mehred Dynasty Sultan (Abin-Mehred-Khalid VI) died in 1945, Robahim Ismael became the Sultan of Kherfiyyah. Immediately, Aabid was elevated to the Kherfiyyan Advisory Cabinet, a position he continues to retain 10 years later.

## History

### Early Years (1910s-1920s)

Aabid El-Sadiq was born in 1912 in New Alamur to Ahmad El-Sadiq, who was serving as a senior official in the Sultan's palace and in particular was acting as an advisor for the influential Robahim Dynasty, which was second only to the ruling Mehred Dynasty in terms of prestige. The Robahim Dynasty would eventually become the ruling family of Kherfiyyah.

Growing up, Ahmad El-Sadiq was a close associate for the Robahim Dynasty's leader Robahim Ismael I. As a result, Aabid became a close friend of future Sultan Robahim Ismael II. This friendship would eventually earn him a place on the Kherfiyyan Advisory Cabinet, and would prove to be the most important connection of Aabid's life.

### Kherfiyyan Police Force (1920s-1945)

In 1926, following the rebellion of the Kherfiyyan People's Peasant Union and the creation of the Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic, many Kherfiyyan Monarchists began calling for a stronger police force to prevent such audacious rebellions in the future. With this atmosphere in mind, the Robahim Dynasty's head Robahim Ismael I advised Ahmad El-Sadiq to put Aabid in the police force. Aabid obliged, and joined the New Alamur police force in 1926. Due to his connections, he was immediately given charge of an entire police battallion.

In 1932, an anti Government protest broke out within the jurisdiction of Sadiq's police group. Immediately, Sadiq called in several dozen riot police forces and took up position near the protestors. Among these protestors was Botros Al-Abbas, who would later take part in the Muraqibun Bombing. When the protestors began to march towards the policemen as an act of defiance, Sadiq immediately ordered his forces to open fire. The policemen complied, and several dozen Kherfiyyans were felled, dead or dying to bullet wounds. Sadiq then ordered a baton charge to disperse the remaining protestors. With around 50 trained officials bearing down on them and beating their leaders, the protest dispersed, its participants dead or dejected.

### Member of the Kherfiyyan Advisory Cabinet (1945-)

In 1945, Abin Mehred Khalid VI died, ending the Mehred Dynasty and leaving the position of Sultan open. Immediately, the Robahim Dynasty- being the second most powerful- swept in and crowned Robahim Ismael II as the Sultan. This proved extremely good for Aabid El-Sadiq, as one of his close friends was now on the throne of the Sultanate. Immediately, Sadiq was appointed to the Sultan's Advisory Cabinet as the Sultan's Advisor on Affairs of the Interior, a position he was considered qualified for due to his experience in the police force of New Alamur.
