Muaad Jib was a Centauri and a member of the Prime Candidates. In 2269, after Throk Milifa murdered Lou Welch for trespassing in one of the Prime Candidates' safe-houses, Muaad and Klezko Suprah—another young Prime Candidate—were charged with moving the body and secretly dumping it in an alleyway. Unknown to either of them, their actions had been observed by the techno-mage Finian.
