RACE:Human
OCCUPATION: Mujahideen
REGION: World of War
ERA: Modern
POWER: None.
EQUIPMENT:
- Assault Rifle - Lahad's specifically is a shortened version of the standard assault rifle, the barrel is cut down to less than half the length of a regular barrel. The compactness allows it to be quickly brought to the user's shoulder, and cuts doen extensively on weight, making it much easier to carry around. However, with a shortened barrel comes a lack of accuracy, and it does not have the reach of a standard assault rifle which could possibly be accurate out to 300 yards. It has a magazine capacity of thirty rounds, and fires single-shot-only.
"Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot"- a steel tube double-handled single-fire anti-tank weapon. The middle of the tube is wrapped in wood to protect the user from heat and the end is flared to assist in blast shielding and recoil reduction. The tube itself is fairly heavy, loaded with a grenade adds an additional 4lbs to the weight of the weapon, making it just under 20lbs altogether.He has only one H.E.A.T. (High Explosive Anti-Tank) grenade.- Used in ["Bad News"]- SVD
[/li][li]Qur'an - A book from times long past, the equivelant to the bible in christianity, and the torah in judaism. It's cover is adorned with faded golden designs. Many pages are lost from its bindings, some ripped out or too water-damaged to read, but many important and interesting scriptures remain.

PERSONALITY:Lahad is compassionate and giving, the type of person who would put himself in harm's way for someone else, even if he did not know them. Though mostly just trying to live his life as normally as possible in the conditions given to him. Strong of will, and cunning, though light of heart when speaking candidly, Lahad is a heroic individual. Despite this, his actions are governed by what he has learned from the remenants of a Qur'an he found in the destroyed building. As such, he has taken up the pillars of Islam, and follows them to the best of his ability. He is not one to push what he believes in on others, and usually keeps quiet about what he believes, and keeps his holy book hidden and wrapped in cloth and on his person at all times.
His standing with the general populace of the world is that of compassion; he wishes to do everything in his power to assist, and rebuild. Lahad's feelings toward either of the military factions is disgust, at both their neglegence in bringing back those who should be at rest, and their continued infighting, which has cost more lives than can possibly be accounted for. Though he has a strong distaste for taking human lives, he will do anything in his power to stop both the North and the South from fighting one another, even if it means incapacitating their soldiers or sabotaging their equiment. He has heard of a ragtag group of people hunting the undead, and he feels that they are ill-equipped or ill-advised to do so, and likes to keep his distance from their type, preferring his self-proclaimed title of Mujahideen, or 'Struggler' as more apropriate and honorable toward the people the undead once were.
HISTORY:Lahad remembers nothing of his parents, or who they were. His first memories are of his Imam, or spiritual leader. This man taught him, as well as the rest of his 'family'; a large group of kids around four years old, to seven, about Islam, and the Jihad they must wage against both the North and South factions. Their encroachment, the Imam stated, was an abominable act of war that god would not tolerate, he said that he and the rest of his 'brothers' were divinely chosen to fight against both sides, and would be victorious, even if they died. He said that death should have no hold on them, and that if they followed islam, Lahad and his brothers would be saved souls, and move on in the afterlife to a much better place. Lahad hardly believed this, even as a child, but he stood by and listened, learned, intrigued by the old man's stories of the small overtaking the strong of power. Lahad himself was around the age of six, and taught verbally the ways of islam, and how to read. Though Lahad knew little at this time, his knowledge would grow, as would his distaste for radicalism, and what his brothers were ordered to do. For two years, they were schooled verbally in teachings that differed greatly, from what Lahad would later learn, from that true teachings of the Qur'an. Afterward, he and his brothers marched daily in columns, though fed good food, the marches were gueling. Some would carry black flags with the Shahada scrawled in white upon them. (The Shahada being a proclimation that: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.) While others would scream "Takbir!" and the group would respond "Allah Ackbar!". Lahad did this, and afterward, would be brought into one of many small tents, where one slightly older boy would take apart an assault rifle, allowing the entire group to learn by watching, and then put it back together, handing it off to the next boy in line who would repeat the steps, and the hand it off. Lahad learned his way around the standard assault rifle used by the North Faction this way. Every day for years, Lahad would march, take apart assault rifles, then, eventually, line up with his 'brothers' and fire them. They would only get five practice shots, because of constraints on ammunition, but Lahad did not care much, it was all he knew. It wasn't fun by any means to him, it was just life, and he lived it. Firing practice would then be followed up with combative training, the Imam would oversee the column of boys move up in staggard formations, starting from a straight line, each boy in an odd position would run up, get down on a knee, and aim his rifle forward, 'covering' his comrade while the other moved up behind him, and was then repeated. These years would conclude when Lahad reached the age of thirteen, and this column was one of many sent out to fight head-on against the both the Northern and Southern forces. Lahad's brigade were each given one rifle, one sidearm, and one magazine for each. One or two were given a grenade along with the rifle and sidearm, but sadly, it was of little use. Lahad's brigade assaulted both Factions while they were in mid-battle, the surprise attack did little to stay the hand of either faction, and both either began fighting Lahad's brigade, or continued to fight one-another. Lahad saw all of his brothers in arms slaughtered by the technological superiority of both factions, while his brigade inflicted only minor casualties on either faction. Lahad escaped in the fray, his brothers providing enough distraction for the boy to get away. Lahad took cover with his rifle, and waited for the battle to end. It was maddening to see his brothers walking afterward, though not as they were before, they still bore the wounds they took during the battle, and were not alive. Lahad emptied out both magazines of his sidearm and rifle before running away, swearing vengeance on both factions for, as far as he knew, bringing them back in such a horrid way. Lahad's escape led him to the shabby ruins of a mosque, where the burnt skeletal remains of a man with a shortened assault rifle, and a burnt Qur'an remained. Lahad felt safe enough in the mosque to sit, and read for awhile. The pages that remained telling a story much different from the one the Imam taught him of Islam. Lahad took a piece of cloth from the man's bones and wrapped the Qur'an, to keep it safe from further wear. He took off from the remains of the mosque, and has been on the run ever since, finding ammunition wherever he can for his rifle, and eventually coming across a group of skeletal corpses, one of which was carrying a familiar weapon: the Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, or RPG. Lahad took it by the sling and carried it away with him. He has not used it since he found it, since he hasn't found a particular situation it would come in handy. Lahad has spent years sleeping in one place or another, and freeing the undead from their shackles on this earth to go on to another lifetime, taking time to try and help people he meets, and shying away from anyone in a military uniform. He has heard rumors of large settlements, but never goes to them, feeling they would have no use for someone like him; who lives only to see the souls of the dead brought to peace.
