Healing Hands: Stricken down by his crippling illness from a young age has humbled the Crown Prince. He has dedicated much of his years to helping others, usually afflicted by diseases deemed incurable. As a result, his knowledge in medical lore and the healing arts is extensive, and he is beloved across the Caliphate for his selfless services.
Background: Jazeer Sadek started life with high expectations. The firstborn of Bazar Sadek, Caliph of Eulonaβs greatest enclave, he was set to become a figure of great renown. Achieving highly in the various educational fields laid upon him by the finest tutors Eblistani coin could buy, Jazeer quickly became an aspiring academic.
At the age of ten, he developed a mysterious rash on his arms, which quickly spread across his body. A medicine man diagnosed the affliction as the dreaded leprosy, a disease that had ravaged the population of late. Whilst Elves and Dwarves showed a miraculous resilience to the illness, human bodies were fair game to its ruining form.
A cure was far beyond the meagre magical prowess of the Caliphβs medicine men, and only a temporary ward was deemed strong enough to keep the disease at bay. Requiring the victimβs essence to lend sufficient power to it, this ward drained the Princeβs physique, after years of such treatment, he has been left heavily weakened.
Emaciated, stricken by crippling arthritis and with severely deplenished muscles, Jazeer is a weak and sorry creature. However, his father, ever loving has refused to move him lower down the regal food chain.
Inspired somewhat by his harsh hand dealt in life, Jazeer turned his energy to medicine, where he triumphed as a superior healer. He would often escape the Palace under the cover of night to treat the sick and the dying, despite his fatherβs wishes against such activities. Aside from helping those as unfortunate as himself, he also invested a great amount of resources into discovering a cure for his own ailment.
Jazeer is a small man, around 5β4, and carries a very delicate frame. His face is marred with scars caused by his illness, and due to the side-effects of the wards that keep him stable, he has lost most of his body hair and teeth. He has the bronze skin of most Eblistanis, though his is noticeably paler in tone. His left eye has glazed over, appearing milky β another side effect of his treatment. All in all, he is a feeble, miserable looking creature.
Usually, he is clothed in silk robes of varying colours β they are warded, to combat the leprosy, but offer no other benefit. The golden mask that he wears over his face is in the visage of a manβs.
