Background: Bilaal was the youngest of his seven siblings in a small wayfarer band. While loved by his mother and father, his siblings held only contempt for this youngest brother as he was pampered by their parents. Often he would find himself as the butt of a joke or the target of a fist.
Either as a gift or a blessing (he still debates this), Bilaal's traveling camp was found by the Sand Princes on his tenth birthday. He and his brothers were taken away by the Princes to become their newest sword hands. Thrust from loving arms to the harsh life of a bandit, Bilaal took his life better than his siblings thanks to his age, being able to adapt faster than they and soon outrank them into his teens.
After some years of marauding the land, Bilaal left his sword brothers to explore the world outside the dunes, hoping to find some inner-peace before he got too old. And, for a time, he found it in a girl that was sweeter than honey. Yet, like some cruel joke, she was snatched from him by a rabid cult to a Made God. They sought to slaughter her to their god's alter. By the time Bilaal had reached the place, her blood stained the floor and rage filled his very soul. In a moment of godly strength, his divinity awoke and not a soul remains that worships the god that took his love.
