Iskandar Saqqaf

Iskandar Saqqaf was born in the city of Ingenon in the nation of Salvidieno  to former slaves. He, for the first twelve years of his life, worked with his father as a shoemaker.

In 1283 BE Iskandar started to show magical aptitude and was noticed by a member of the Fedayeen. He was then taken from his family, who were paid handsomely for their loss of a son, and brought to the school.

He was the first in Fedayeen history to be accepted into a house in his first year as an initiate.

His magical powers quickly grew leading the House Council to send him off to the University of Aaldel in his second year with the Fedayeen. While at the school he carried out eleven murders at the behest of The Seven, making him one of the most prolific mage killers in Abyad history at that point.

He was raised to the House Council immediately upon graduation and full acceptance into the Fedayeen. His graduation just so happened to coincide with the death of a House Council member. There has been large amounts of debate in the Abyad as to whether the House Council wanted him to have a seat with them so badly that they murdered one of their own or if Iskandar’s ambitions lead him to it himself.

It is unknown as to when he began his duties as a member of The Seven but it is widely agreed among Abyad historians that did so very soon after joining the House Council.

Iskandar went missing in 1342 BE and after a year of searching was presumed dead by both The Seven and the Abyad House Council.

Iskandar’s life became legend among the Abyad and his techniques on dealing with other mages have become the cornerstone of the Fedayeen.
