Ahmen - Author's notes

           Ahman is a complex character. He is a man that, by appearance, many would expect him to deal with situations using his brawn, but he does not. Instead, he is a kind man with a strong loyalty to the people he has promised to protect, including his beloved wife Ariel and his comrade in arms, Jared. He is cautious and thoughtful, not wanting to rush head long into unknown situations. Even though he is about the same age as Jared, he possesses a more mature faith in the one true God. He is one of the sturdy pillars that helps guide Jared and the other adventurers through their journey into Razmadda.

           Ahman is the counterweight to Jared. They have a close relationship, because of their years of service together, working to ensure the security of Siriad. They have fought many conflicts together against okale and have even survived a few skirmishes with Saggisera that wander to close to the northeast border of Siriad. Along with Mahalalel (Jared's father) and Abigail (Jared's wife), Ahman has helped to develop Jared's faith and trust in the 'Almighty'. His name means 'trustworthy, (or loyal/ loyalty) and his character reflects that in the way he views his companions. He represents those who have developed that closeness with God but have a more reserved faith. Don't be fooled, though, he is not perfect. He is still working on putting his faith in God during times of weaknesses and doubt.
