Asfet Zahiri (As-fet)

Infomant, Clan Leader

Asfet Zahiri

Asfet's life began in the grim shadow of slavery, a child born from the unfortunate union of a slave woman and her ruthless master. Growing up in the cruel confines of servitude, Asfet quickly discerned the stark choices before her. She could either resign herself to a lifetime of unrelenting torment, perpetually trapped in the clutches of bondage, or summon the courage to embrace the perilous uncertainty of freedom. With valor as her only companion, she chose the latter, forsaking her mother and embarking on a treacherous odyssey through the unforgiving labyrinth of the streets.   For countless years, Asfet eked out a meager existence among the downtrodden and destitute, resorting to thievery as a desperate means of survival. Yet, her indomitable spirit yearned for more than mere subsistence. Harnessing her extraordinary intellect, she defied the constraints of her dire circumstances, navigating a treacherous world of clandestine organizations. With the passage of time, she rose to prominence as a renowned information broker in Ventus, the sprawling metropolis. Amidst the murky underbelly of this mighty city, Asfet's disdain for the abhorrent slave trade and the oppressors who perpetuated it only intensified.   Leveraging her burgeoning web of connections, she endeavored to alleviate the suffering of others where possible, though the scope of her influence remained frustratingly limited. Fueled by an unwavering desire to instigate profound change, Asfet embarked on a pilgrimage to The Free City of Homath. In Homath, she devoted years to scaling the ranks of the enigmatic Odina Clan, until finally, she grasped the reins of leadership.   Upon her arrival in Homath, Asfet concentrated her efforts on ameliorating the living conditions of demi-humans within the city. She miraculously transformed what had once been a squalid demi-district into an officially recognized haven, a testament to her unwavering resolve. Formerly marginalized demi-humans found themselves empowered and validated, and the district even experienced an influx of human residents in recent years.   Asfet and the Odina Clan have earned a reputation as master strategists and relentless conspirators, forever a few steps ahead of their adversaries. Drawing from her prior life as an information broker, Asfet has adroitly navigated the intricate web of power with unmatched finesse. Having ascended from a life of unrelenting poverty, she now savors the opulence of affluence, indulging in sumptuous cuisine, exquisite libations, and the company of those who cater to her every whim.   Yet, beneath this veneer of success lies the haunting specter of her past, a constant reminder of her flight from slavery and the harrowing separation from her mother. Her hatred for the insidious slave trade and those who perpetuate it burns ever brighter, a fervent fire that drives her relentless pursuit of justice. And even as she basks in the comforts of wealth and influence, Asfet harbors an unspoken fear: that she may one day lose everything she has so painstakingly built.

Asfet was born into slavery to a slave woman and her master. She chose to escape and embarked on a difficult journey through the streets, resorting to theft to survive. With her exceptional intellect, she became a renowned information broker in Ventus and embarked on a journey to The Free City of Homath, where she rose to the pinnacle of leadership in the Odina Clan. She transformed a squalid demi-district into an officially recognized haven for demi-humans, earning a reputation as a master strategist and relentless plotter. Having risen from a life of poverty, she now savours the luxuries of affluence.
