my founder, iskandar - leader of laskar al-gaza'ir.
he's named after alexander the great, whose arabic name is iskandar akbar. a very peculiar character, and very pious; he is a pacifist who speaks in a foreign accent, his speech trademarked with blessings and prayers. he searches for recruits whom he considers believers, those whose hearts are pure and good. he does not speak of his origins often; only that he feels uneasy in catalena and in the catacombs, believing that he is trapped as a test of virtue from God. he thinks that if he manages to collect enough recruits who are believers, he'll be able to leave the catacombs forever.
despite his pacifism, iskandar is proof that brains and brawn aren't mutually exclusive - he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and wields a double-bladed sword not unlike the zulfiqar - he calls his weapon an-nur, meaning light. he values knowledge as the highest form of power, often found reciting "rabbī zidnī 'ilma, war zuqnī fahmā" under his breath; a prayer for knowledge taught to him when he was only a child.
iskandar always covers his face with his mask, and it will take a large amount of trust to see him without it - one would have to be considered a believer at the very least, and have a good reason to want to see his face.
