Role

Chapter 3

Merigan Najjar was born to a rising noble House of Hamsah, and since childhood
has connived to further the power of his family. He is well bred in speech and
in accoutrements, and cultivates an image of a pampered, charming noble to
great effect. Behind the facade is a ruthless man obsessed with he and his
family's image and status. After poisoning a rival house's heir that was
plotting to steal contracts with the Empire from House Najjar, the Empire
deduced that Merigan was the culprit, and impressed with his moxy, demanded
that he take the Bloodoath in exchange for House Najjar's contracts being
renewed.

Merigan is not particularly fond of leaving the comfort of his noble house to
serve the Empire, but soon recognizes the value in it. He plans on advancing
up the ranks of the Divine Sect to benefit further trade opportunities for his
family, while openly collecting personal prestige that he may not have
directly under his father's shadow. Despite his ruthless nature and sarcastic
attitude, he is loyal to his father and family.

House Najjar are ardent worshippers of Lord Rillan, having a small,
fashionable chapel on their House grounds. His father lays credit to this
worship to the family's rise in power. A favorite saying of Lord Najjar is
that hard work and worship of Lord Rillan are one and the same.
