Sakin



Role in Story:	One of the Sharir.

Occupation:	Assassin, spy

Physical Description:	Dusky skin, wiry dark brown/black hair, deep green-blue eyes, purple-tinged lips.

Personality:	She is a patient, thoughtful woman, the most calm and careful of the Sharir. She was brave enough to seek another destiny, but is afraid of confronting her past life. She is close with a number of her male compatriots, but has found her purpose in life and has no desire for romance.

Background:	Sakin was once the princess of the Khadra desert tribe, named Semira. She was to be married off for a political treaty and she ran away. Husam found her at a tavern at Kego where some men were harassing her. When one of them touched her, she stabbed his other hand. Husam was so impressed he brought her back to the Sharir where he recommended her to Jabez as a recruit. She has only been with them for a short time but is a prodigy. She is often sent along with Husam on missions.

Notes:	Sakin means ‘dagger’. Also ‘calmness, peace’.

Her true name Semira means ‘heavenly’ (Hebrew).
