Karim Hassan

About

Flame erupts from Karim's scaled fingertips like liquid rebellion, betraying the calculated precision of a dragon-blooded strategist who treats every negotiation as a carefully choreographed dance of potential destruction. Beneath his Arabian nights persona lurks a calculating intellect that sees through human deception as easily as he conjures mystical fire, making him more dangerous in a whispered conversation than in open combat.

Backstory

Three drops of liquid starfire changed everything—the forbidden alchemical substance that Karim Hassan stole from the celestial dragons' treasury, not for power, but to save his dying younger sister who had been cursed by a vindictive phoenix lord. The theft branded him a cosmic criminal, hunted across realms by both draconic enforcers and celestial tribunals, while the starfire fused with his blood, granting him the ability to forge weapons that could cut through dimensional barriers but slowly consuming his memories of his sister's face. Now he operates a blacksmith shop as a front, secretly crafting escape routes and sanctuary weapons for other inter-dimensional refugees, all while the starfire burns away pieces of his past each time he ignites his forge. The cruel irony haunts him: he can no longer remember if he actually saved her, yet he continues his dangerous work, driven by a love he can feel but can no longer fully recall.
