The ultimate soldier. Born and raised to a typical farming family in Kourna, Saif was raised to believe that if you don't succeed, simply try harder.
A firm believer in serving the right causes, he joined the Kournan army for several years. He was eventually dismissed from service after having a moral dispute with his commander, a certain Colonel Bayel. The Sunspears hesitated to accept Saif as he was much older than their prefered recruitment age.
In an ironic twist of fate, it would be Bayel's alma mater, the Ascalon Academy that would accept Saif and help him fulfill his dream of training to be a hero who serves others.
My first char and the second oldest of the group age-wise, Saif is respected by most of them, with the exception of T-1 who finds his commitment to honor and service rather comical. His closest friend is Sheikh Ibrahim. He greatly admires Esmeralda, but keeps his feelings to himself believing it cannot work.
