  • Hamza El Kahir was born around the year A.D. 600 in the city of Mecca. He was an early supporter of the rise of Islam, and died about 645 in battle. Hamza El Kahir then went to Damascus, 661-750, capital of the Islamic Umayyad Caliphate. There he learned the art of sword forging. Hamza was the first teacher of Berber immortal Kassim ibn Muhammad 1152 in North Africa Berber immortal Kassim Muhammad. Later he traveled to Granada in southern Spain. There he spent a good two hundred years until the end of the 15th Century. Grenada was the last Muslim state in Spain. In Granada, Hamza crafted his masterpiece: a sword, which he named "daughter of justice." The next years were spent in Rabat Hamza, later he moved to Algiers. In Algiers, Hamza operated as a poet and teacher of the martial arts. One day, Hamza met Immortal, Duncan MacLeod and freed him from the Algiers slave market, but kept him as a student. On 16 Day of Rabi al-Thani, they met Xavier St. Cloud near Algiers. Xavier challenged Hamza to fight. Hamza knew he was not equal to Xavier's skill. He, therefore, decided to undertake the planned trip to Tunis immediately. But his student, MacLeod, refused to turn down any challenge. Hamza finally met Xavier to prevent Duncan from taking his place. He could not let his friend give his life for him. Hamza El Kahir and Xavier St. Cloud fought in the desert, and although he was an excellent swordsman, he was bested and was beheaded.
