New character.
Name: Sai'f Qutuz
Alias/Nickname: Qutuz
Race: Ra Gada (Na Totambu (Crown), Sentinelian)
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Height: 5'6
Skin Tone: Slightly lighter than usual for a Ra Gada.
Hair Colour: Black
Eye Colour: Dark brown
Significant Markings: A tattoo on his left arm and most of his chest, depicting the Warrior Wave.
Physique: Well-toned
Other aesthetic details: Sai'f looks like a good example of a 'proper' Ra Gada; well-built, somewhat short, carrying himself with the grace of an experienced Ra Gada swordsman. His hair is kept cropped, a fact most of the times hidden by his armour; his face looks rather grim, however that's rather misleading. In the way of facial hair he's grown a very short beard.
Equipment/Pockets/Pouch: N/A
What you are good at: Sai'f, having enjoyed the finer sides of life as a Na Totambu, is good at many things. He can speak, read and write Cyrodiilic, Yoku and Bretic; he's an excellent swordsman and a well-mannered speaker, being primarily a representative of Sentinel's High King. His estates are well-organized, that being another forte of his that he owes to his social class.
What you are bad at: A Na Totambu, he has a fiery hatred for the Cyrodiils, often unable to converse with a traditionalist one without exchanging insults. He does not consider himself military man, although being a skilled swordsman, and keeps away from war most of the time, leaving it to others. He's also not a very skilled horseman, finding himself more comfortable on firm ground than in a saddle.
Weapons: A very finely crafted exquisite single-edged blade, perfectly straight except for a slight curve at the top. 'Tool of HoonDing' is etched into the blade's inner (blunt) edge in Yoku. The handle is made from ivory, crafted just for his hand for a more comfortable grip; the guard is barely notable, an oval highly trimmed with gold and barely wider than the blade itself. At the end of the ivory pommel there is an eye, to which the tassel is attached, being silken red with gold trimming on the sides, being around one and half a span long.
Armour/Clothing: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Anticlere/Byzantine/saif.jpg, without the shield and with the bands red.
Miscellaneous: A golden amulet, his family's heirloom.
Mentality/Mental description: A Crown through-and-through, Sai'f is quite patriotic. He despises Cyrodiils, although holds little hatred towards the other races. He puts much weight on peoples' family trees and is prejudiced against Forebears; however he's willing to his opinion about individual Forebears should they prove worth it. Being born in Sentinel, Sai'f has little love for the wild, preferring by far such urban centres as the one he grew up in; he isn't a pampered noble however, being more practical than most other Crowns; in fact, one of his favourite pastimes is managing his estates, however he wouldn't consider doing it as a full-time occupation, instead preferring his role as advisor and messenger of the High King. Sai'f isn't a people person, usually favouring solitude to conversation, although the few that he enjoys staying with usually find him to be pleasurable to talk to.
Short Biography: Born in Sentinel into a Na Totambu family, Sai'f spent his whole youth in the city. He was educated by the best teachers his parents' money could afford, paving the way for a career usual for a Crown ? involving one's self in the government. The fact that his parents had both passed away by the time he stepped into the shoes of a statesman, although saddening, did not do him much harm. For a young, opportunistic noble with enough money and estates to his back, no doors were closed; soon he found himself climbing up the stairs of Sentinel with quite some haste, eventually winning the admiration and patronage of the one man that truly mattered ? the High King of Sentinel.
Recently, Sai'f has been sent to the stage of the newest looming war by his patron, to observe and send back correct accounts of how the war effort went and aid with possible situations that would require a high-born messenger such as himself.

http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Anticlere/Byzantine/ghulam_guard.jpg - Fearsome slave-warriors in the employ of the High King of Sentinel, each of these men is a masterful warrior, more than capable with his spear and sword and a skilled horseman. Composed almost entirely of slaves or prisoners-of-war from the other city-states, they're forced to defend the person they're assigned to protect as best they can, since should he or she perish their position would not be one to envy.
