[b]Abram the Merchant Shah[/b]
Abram the Merchant Shah. Follows a Monotheistic religion in a land where only six to eight percent of the people believe in One God. The rest either don't know what to believe, follow some form of animism, Pantheon worship or an amalgamation of all religions, including ancestor worship. Those left on the border lands tend to really mix things up, following a little bit of the foreign nations around them. Abram was a product of real religious acceptance and tolerance, but feuds based on religions were inescapable, even in some of the most hospitable cities of the interior lands of Hakkhumar, gangs of twenty and upwards could wipe out a village in brutal massacres before the Shah could organize a policing force. 
Thus, Abram grew up strongly against thieving, believing that sins like greed might grow into sins of violence, and revenge. He became a great warrior nonetheless, helping to fight off bandit groups in tandem with city guards and local tribes. Eventually he had scores of men working under him and became known as the Merchant Prince. He later defeated a massive force of bandits with only two hundred men, becoming known as the "Merchant King/Shah". Three thousand men on the other side died, only losing twenty men.
