About Jo'Qar Al Mualim

Born and raised in the slums of the Qadiran capital city of Katheer, Jokar grew up among the poorest of his people. Although not a slave, he did not have much to his name, and that which he did have, he fought hard to keep.

When he was 12, his Father was killed in an accident at the docks, which left only his Mother to provide for him and his 3 siblings. Wanting to help, but not having a viable skill of any sort, he took to the only thing he could do, stealing.

At first it was just minor crimes. Picking a pocket here and there, stealing a loaf of bread or some fruit from the local vendors. Whatever he could get his hands on to help provide for his family.

Eventually, he ended up becoming acquainted with one of the local gangs of theives. With them, his fortunes increased, but so did the risks. Smuggling, extortion and robbery were just a few of the crimes added to his list of offenses.

As with most who pursue a life of crime, he eventually got caught. Luckily, the person he was trying to rob from was a compassionate priest of Sarenrae. This priest gave him a choice, join the priesthood of Sarenrae, or face the courts of Katheer. Knowing that he would most likely be forced into slavery if he allowed himself to be arrested, he took the priest up on his offer.

Although it took a bit of adjusting to get used to the ways of the priesthood, he eventually came to like it and saw it as a chance to redeem himself for his past transgressions.

During his time with the church, he learned of the Pathfinder Society, and most notably The Silver Crusade. It was this discovery that lead him to Absolom, so that he may join their ranks.
