Indebted to Narsus for freeing his parents from slavery, he willingly studies under him and follows him against the Lusitanian army. He often specializes in scouting or espionage missions for Arslan's forces. If need be, he can disguise himself or cross dresses as a woman to blend into crowds.

- Elam (עֵילָם) in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10:22, Ezra 4:9;) is said to be the oldest son of Shem, the son of Noah. It is also used (as in Akkadian), for the ancient country of Elam in what is now southern Iran, whose people the Hebrews believed to be the offspring of Elam, son of Shem. This implies that the Elamites were considered Semites by the Hebrews, although their language was not Semitic, but is considered a linguistic isolate. This modern categorization does not conflict with the Hebrew Bible, since it holds that the diversity of human languages originated at the Tower of Babel.

- Elam (עֵילָם) in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 10:22, Ezra 4:9;) is said to be the oldest son of Shem, the son of Noah. It is also used (as in Akkadian), for the ancient country of Elam in what is now southern Iran, whose people the Hebrews believed to be the offspring of Elam, son of Shem. This implies that the Elamites were considered Semites by the Hebrews, although their language was not Semitic, but is considered a linguistic isolate. This modern categorization does not conflict with the Hebrew Bible, since it holds that the diversity of human languages originated at the Tower of Babel. Elam (the nation) is also mentioned in Genesis 14, describing an ancient war in the time of Abraham, involving a king of Elam it calls Chedorlaomer. The prophecies of Isaiah (11:11, 21:2, 22:6) and Jeremiah 25:25 also mention Elam, and the last part of Jeremiah 49 is an apocalyptic oracle against Elam, self-dated to the first year of Zedekiah (597 BC). The Book of Jubilees may reflect ancient tradition when it mentions a son (or daughter, in some versions) of 'Elam named "Susan", whose daughter Rasuaya married Arpachshad, progenitor of another branch of Shemites. Shushan (or Susa) was the ancient capital of the Elamite Empire. (Daniel 8:2) Elam as a personal name also refers to eight other figures appearing in the Hebrew Bible:
* Elam is a son of Shashak of the tribe of Benjamin in 1 Chronicles 8:24 .
* Elam is the son of Meshelemiah, a Levite of the family of Kohath in 1 Chronicles 26:3.
* Elam is the ancestor of a family that returned with Zerubbabel in Ezra 2:1-2,7.
* Elam is the ancestor of a family that returned from the Captivity in Ezra 2:31. This is possibly the same man and family as in Ezra 2:1-2,7.
* Elam is the ancestor of a family that returned with Ezra in Ezra 8:7.
* Elam is the grandfather of Shechaniah in Ezra 10:3.
* Elam is one of the men who joins Nehemiah in sealing the new covenant in Nehemiah 10:14.
* Elam is a priest who helps in the rededication of the rebuilt walls of Jerusalem in Nehemiah 12:42.
- Elam was an ancient civilization located in what is now southwest Iran. Elam was centered in the far west and the southwest of modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of Khuzestan and Ilam Province, as well as a small part of southern Iraq. Situated just to the east of Mesopotamia, Elam was part of the early urbanization during the Chalcolithic. The emergence of written records from around 3000 BC also parallels Mesopotamian history. In the Old Elamite period (Middle Bronze Age), Elam consisted of kingdoms on the Iranian plateau, centered in Anshan, and from the mid-2nd millennium BC, it was centered in Susa in the Khuzestan lowlands. Its culture played a crucial role in the Gutian Empire, especially during the Achaemenid dynasty that succeeded it, when the Elamite language remained among those in official use. The Elamite language has no established affinities with any other, and seems to be a language isolate such as Sumerian; however some researchers have posited the existence of a larger group known as Elamo-Dravidian. Linguists such as Václav Blažek and Georgiy Starostin criticised Elamo-Dravidian Hypothesis and concluded that Elamite language was related to Afroasiatic languages. However, these theories have heavily been criticized.

However, Ari had a disposition towards the king for a lack of certain praise and cursed him to rot in the Underworld. Ari had further mentioned that the High Priest of Elam taught him about the Ancient Egyptian history, most notably about the Spear of Osiris.
