Bio

Born in the deserts of Zakhara, Samson was abandoned when he parents were offered as payment in a Blood Feud. Luck happened to bless him thought, he was found by one of the many wandering nomads in the deserts, The House of Dhi’b (Sons of the Wolf). They had raised him well, teaching him weapons-crafting and combat. Being born a giant, he was blessed with a naturally high strength and constitution. Over the length of his life, he was being trained to be a sheikh, a powerful and noble position among the wanderers. He did rather well with it, providing leadership during the many raids and offering much help with various matters among the clans. One day after a standard raid, he had an unfortunate incident occur. As having his wounds tended, the healers noticed a strange mark; the mark of The Beast carved by chance or perhaps fate even. They immediately went to the leader, Sheikh Anwat al-Makkar, and explained the events. Makkar became worried over his adopted son; the symbol is used by the peoples in the southern free-cities as a way to drive themselves and their enemies into terrible bloodlusts and furies, or so they hear. Being advised by the various nobles of the clans, Samson is told that since he provided so much help to his peoples, he would be allowed to travel to the City of Intrigue, a city that the Dhi’b sometimes travel too, and see if he could remove his terrible fate. Feeling betrayed by his home, he travels off to the city, in hopes of finding answers to his questions.
