Son of Gaulthiel and Alanie.

Very handsome man who can only attract crazy elven women (see Esthalin and Innocence).

Captain of the Valgae Leya.

Master of the Flying Axe Technique

Namnatur grew up in Lyoses, a small Elven village in the Black Forest, raised by his parents Gaulthiel and Alanie. Gaulthiel attempted to teach Namnatur the ways of elven magic, but Namnatur wasn’t really very interested. Namnatur had an idyllic, yet lonely childhood (his parents did not teach him any of the "filthy" human languages, so he couldn't talk to anybody but them and this other kid who knew Elvish) until Moors snuck into the area and slaughtered the entire village on Raheesh's orders in 972. They'd heard of the elven villages in the Black Forest from the elven kingdoms around the Pyrenees, or so Gaulthiel said before being ruthlessly struck down by Aaqib, Hafiz, and Hesam. Namnatur was the only survivor, hiding in the secret place his father and mother had put him into. During the carnage, Aaqib managed to find and steal Gaulthiel’s magic book.

The Moors, satisfied they had finished Allah’s work by massacring a town of “abominations,” went back to Spain, to the city of Guadalajara, where they were from. Namnatur followed them through France and Aragon into Moorish Spain. He spent a few years there disguised as a young urchin, learning the languages of Spanish and Arabic, as well as some of the abilities he possesses today.

He finally used this knowledge to attempt to avenge his parents by attacking Raheesh and his band in 974. He succeeded in killing Hafiz and Hesam, but both Aaqib, with Gaulthiel’s book, and Raheesh escaped Namnatur’s wrath. He was forced to flee Moorish Spain when he was branded an enemy of the state by Raheesh, who also got the imam of the area to place a fatwa on Namnatur.

He traveled through Europe for ten years under the pseudonym Reynaldo Garcia. He spent these years learning and honing his skills before returning to Guadalajara for another attempt on Raheesh and Aaqib, in 984. Unfortunately, Namnatur was captured and sent to a prison in Madrid, were he was tortured by Qadir, a large man who managed to extract Namnatur’s name and reason for attempting to kill Raheesh and Aaqib. When Qadir found out, he laughed and mocked him, and then tortured him some more.

After a month or so of this, the order came from on high to kill Namnatur. When Raheesh and Aaqib came to fetch Namnatur from his cell, they instead found Qadir, bound and gagged, with elvish words carved on both cheeks, and a Spanish word on his forehead. On his left cheek was the name of Namnatur’s mother, on the right, his father’s name, and on Qadir’s forehead was the word puto. When Qadir awoke, he told Raheesh and Aaqib that Namnatur would come for them again, and this time he would make sure he killed them all and take Gaulthiel’s book from their cold dead fingers.
