Shahir Malik Ammar

Shahir was a Mechanician in his homeland of Percant. In layman's terms a clockwork mage. Part mage part engineer.

Mechanicians are not like other mages, unable to cast spells, these mages weave magic into the devices that they construct. Weaving a spell thusly is time consuming and calls for much preparation.

So what does Shahir have to do with Kryl'n?

Shahir was commissioned by a powerful Sheik to create a clockwork toy for his last living son. Without going into gory details the construct was his greatest achievement and grimmest lesson. Shahir managed to enchant the toy, a brass clockwork monkey, with free will!

With the brutal demise of the Sheik's son Shahir's life now held a high price. His only hope of evading the Sheik's assassins laid in his own death.
