Imam Xanthos

Imam Xanthos is a male mortal and leader of a criminal ring consisting of thieves and assassins for hire.

Appearance
Imam is tall and has shoulders a bit broader than most people, and combined with a square jaw and his strong muscles, he looks very intimidating. He has naturally tan skin, further tanned from the sun, and straight black hair. Imam has rich brown eyes and usually wears dark-colored clothes (mostly black) under a thick leather vest, and equally thick leather boots. He has a belt (also leather) with multiple pouches, bags, sheaths, and loops, always equipped with his weapons, some rope, and sometimes a snack or some money.

Personality
Imam is calm and collected, and even in dangerous situations he can keep his cool and think his way out of problems. He’s clever and sly, and likes to spend his free time solving puzzles or deep in his thoughts. He’s confident, both in himself and in his choices, but a little too proud and cocky. He has been known to blow several missions by being too arrogant when someone doubts his skills, and he shows off trying to provethem wrong. Imam is very stubborn and determined, often staying late hours strategizing or puzzling over riddles. He doesn’t back easily from a challenge unless he estimates that he’s going to lose, though sometimes he still takes them on anyways because he’s overconfident. He holds a grudge against Sumesera, and will go out of his way to get a little revenge on her.

Backstory
Imam is from a pretty rich and influential family, but they were always off on some trip or party, so he pretty much just stayed by himself at home, mostly just reading. He joined the group of bullies at his school because he decided he would much rather join them and be feared than cower from them for the rest of his school days, and as soon as they approached him he surprised them by asking if they wanted to add a new member. The rest can be deduced from reading Sera’s backstory.
