Commodore Zara Abbasi

About

With her meticulously annotated antique globe and razor-sharp tactical mind, Zara Abbasi transforms military strategy into an art form that leaves her enemies perpetually two steps behind. Her soldiers know her for an almost preternatural ability to predict complex battlefield dynamics, whispered about in Tehran's military circles as a commander who sees war like a grand, intricate chess match where human pieces move according to her silent calculations.

Backstory

Three generations of Abbasi women had possessed the gift, but none had ever heard the crystalline resonance that emanated from ancient battlefields themselves—until Zara pressed her palm against her grandmother's globe and felt the echoes of every war ever fought humming through her bones. The Siege of Blackwood became her proving ground not through conventional tactics, but because she could hear the fortress walls whispering the location of a forgotten siege tunnel, leading her night raid to impossible victory. Captain Elara recognized the otherworldly gleam in Zara's eyes during strategy sessions, nurturing her protégé's ability to commune with the spectral imprints of long-dead generals whose wisdom still lingered on ancient maps and artifacts. That same locket she wears contains not a portrait, but a fragment of meteorite glass that amplifies her supernatural connection to the battlefield's hidden truths.
