Personality:	Samir is a hot headed, hot tempered killer. He actively enjoys using his powers to kill, exalting in the feeling of power. He is blunt and crude, especially toward women.

Mage Affinities/Physical abilities:	Samir is a three quarter blood mage. He is classed as a specialist with his skills lying in a very narrow spectrum of gnostic application. His affinities are:

•	Intellectual: Thaumaturgy

•	Element: Fire

In battle Samir's precise skill set allows him to instantly generate a flame so destructive it they melts stone and reduces even a shielded mage to ash. His blood ranking gives him exceptional gnostic power, whilst his mastery of such a narrow gnostic study allows him to overwhelm even pure blooded mages. For this reason he is known as "The Inferno".

History:	His birthplace is near the border to Noros, and in Y909 Samir joined the Noros army, and was swiftly recruited by Gurvon Gyle into his Grey Foxes, whose guerrilla tactics gave Samir unprecedented opportunity to wreak havoc. After the failed revolt he was declared an outlaw, and remained in hiding until Gyle arranged a general pardon for his unit. He then joined Gyle as an operative for the Empire in the Second Crusade. He was stationed by Gyle in Javon in Y923, as a royal protector alongside Elena Anborn and Rutt Sordell.

Notes:	Samir is a terrible horseman, and dislikes the Eastern continent and all its peoples.
