Golshan Soltani
Golshan Soltani's well-born family emigrated from Iran to Albion just before Golshan was of age to go to Schola. He has not lived up to his family's expectations.
He and Seth Wain were friends from their first day at Schola, and have remained so ever since.
Background
learn moreGolshan has three older brothers and an older sister. He also has what we'd call ADHD, and he was constantly moving during his school years. Seth Wain helped him focus long enough to get through his school assignments, and he gained significant skills in Materia, Duelling, and Illusion work.
Before the Great War, he had found a position running a vaudeville theatre - a never-ending set of interesting challenges for him, and he genuinely likes and is interested by almost everyone if they'll give him a chance. In 1918, he was paralysed (a T6 injury) by a gun shot, discussed in Casting Nasturtiums, which is also about how Seth found him again, and what their life looks like now.
