Ahriman

Ahriman Hakim

A curious figure in the background, often found in the company of a painted mare.

While known to a select few as a rogue magus that abhors public display of such abilities and avoids leaving traces of such in his own actions.

Even fewer know of the tell-tale makr of his having been tried, examined by inquisition, tortured and supposedly executed criminal,shown by a pair of brands in the meat of his shoulder of the Silver Hand and of a Magistrate's Seal with the letters W for Withery, H for Heresy, S for Sacrilige to mark his crimes.

The dangers of the road he secretly treads, far from the light of day and knowledge of others, are known to him alone ... though others have tread there before he. The ways beyond the veil are perilous and uncertain, as are all manners to affect control there or amidst the avenues of the dead.

Public Life

A study in contradictions, he is a man who does not often speak of his past. In demeanor, he can be either harshy curt and direct or insufferably obscure.

His "deservedly poor reputation" has on occassion been tarnished by those who wish to paint a more noble picture of this admitted drunkard and indulger in a variety of other vices.

Constantly seen with a painted mare, which lacks a bit in her bridle. One might conclude that the horse was his 'eyes' in a manner of speaking, since he seems to give little instruction to the mare and seems more her passenger than her taskmaster.

An adept judge of proscribing herbs and treatments, although hipocritcal in his own refraining from following some of his advice. Ahriman firmly believes in applied principles of Alchemy in everyday life, even if he does not live up to them, including: every action and inaction has a price,

As a surgeon, and after being barred from active service, he remains an active role at times in the various camps in order to ensure staff is aware of various minimum standards in areas ranging from the treatment of dirty linens to the need to balance a patient's diet. He is a strong proponent of a return to Galenic preventative measures in the surgeries and hospitals, especially in the Plaugelands.
