| - Ghazeb Khan, whose name means angry tiger (Ghazeb is Arabic for angry, anyone care to speak on the etymology of Khan?) is very uninhibited. He usually does a fair enough job of getting by in society, and often navigates it like a shark with a toothy smile circles a school of fish. But however much he might be able to make his way among people, he simply doesn't understand civilized values. Any society requires restraint of it's members to bind them to one another. But to Ghazeb, it is not restraint but shared excess that serves as the ideal social glue. Being raised as he was by a man who didn't temper his urges but manipulated Ghazeb with them, and coming to age as part of a large and transient community of nomadic militants and merchants, Ghazeb has learned little of social necessities beyond the primacy of strength and wealth. He carries himself with pride bordering on a condescending air of superiority towards the many he deems beneath him. Ghazeb is most comfortable in the company of other warriors. He loves to gorge himself, to enjoy wine, to find pleasure in the fairer sex, and share conversation. He longs to lie in the lap of luxury, to drape himself in the softest silks and velvets, to have beautiful serving girls at his beck and call, to waste away the hours in the opium dens of the Silk Road. He demands attention and recognition, and never hesitates to declare himself the best swordsman in the world.
