Taqab Naq-tadeh hails from the desert Araile. He does not know why, but he
and his family live as outcasts, shamed from ever returning to Blackclaw or
even the bitter wastes.He spent his first sixteen years in poverty, begging
and stealing from the passing merchant trains, all the while enduring the
tormenting heat and sands of the desert. He hates the sun, heat, sands, and
anything else associated with such a wretched place. More than that, he
hates everything he does not have.

At times, Taqab found himself lucky enough to sneak past Hamsahs guards to
wander the desert city.It was here his fascination took him. He wanted it
all, the precious jewels, colored clothes, tempting foods, and brilliantly
polished armors. But more than that, magic. Magic impressed the lords, awed
the crowds, invited wise counsel, and ruled. Magic equaled power.

Taqab knew he would never wield such an authority. He himself was but a
construct of earlier magics. But as he felt driven to grasp these
unreachables, it came to him. Make those who control magic bow to him.His
own devices, cunning, and resources would subjugate the magicians. Taqab
cannot have this magic, so no one shall possess it.
