Fazel

Full name: Fazel Bin Salih. Born A.D. 953.

Coptic Christian fighter.

Formerly of the Fatimid Party, now chief general of the Fatimid Caliph. Has been called the best fighter in the caliphate. Fought Karmathians in the East, apparently vanquishing them.

Is now hanging around Syracuse trying to deal with a politically awkward situation developing between the Fatimid Caliph and the Emir of Sicily.

Also a cool and froody dude. He knows the score.

Reportedly a polo player, and pretty good, too.
