Ahad was born of a noble house in Qadira. His youth was spent in luxury with little worry. Because of this he was afforded the best of schools. Possessing more than a keen mind his family procured training in the old ways. Qadira found itself little effected from the devastation at the world wound some 200 years ago. Some say it is the distance others say it was the goddess Sarenrae protecting her most faithful. Whatever the reason they too felt the absence of magic, but remained faithful even with their goddess silent. Ahad proved to be an exceptional student. His movements flow like the wind that carry the sand. His strikes brilliant and piercing like the sun through the clouds. As time passed he learned of an academy in neighboring Taldor. With his family pulling a few strings and spending some gold he was accepted.

Now at the Kitharodian Academy in Oppara, Ahad found he had to prove himself again. It wasn’t long before challenges came his way. At first he bested one after one earning a reputation among the Academy. Then one day he was challenged by a young Taldor girl. Celestine was the girls name. the duel was like none he had before. Two, three times he cut at her, but she parried off each blow. Finally, she managed a cut on his arm on a riposte of her own. Having drawn first blood, the duel ended. Ahad was humbled and yet intrigued by the woman. More than that she caught his eye. From there on the two were inseparable. She taught him as he in return taught her. With this new skill he now climbed the ranks of the Academy even faster and even gaining the title of Master Performer.

Time passed, Ahad and Celestine fell deeper in love. Fate seemed not on their side. Celestine was to sail to Westcrown with her family. Her family still was not very approving of Ahad, as some held to the old ways in Taldor and the hatred for any from Qadira. Unfortunate for the couple Ahad had exhausted most of his money living in luxury and spoiling Celestine. So why he dispatched a message to his family for more funds, he had to watch her sail away. Vowing to meet her in Westcrown soon. Only a week of time passed before he too took to a ship. Now he finds himself in Westcrown. Far away from home. He now looks for his love and hopes to find his own path to glory and riches.

Ahad is a tall slender athletic build fellow. He is quite handsome and has sharp features. His hair and eyes dark complementing his darkened complexion. He wears a well made armored coat that is heavily influenced from eastern armor. A azure blue kaftan embroidered with floral designs. A red sash belt matching the turban upon his helm.
