Character History: The shifting sands of the Al Zidoan desert have swallowed mighty cities and peoples, leaving no trace behind. However, sometimes the winds of time uncover an ancient mystery buried in the sand. Many years ago an order known as
the Golden Jackal Tribe protected the desert dwellers from harm. This was long before the days of mortal magic, but with the rise of the current Sultanate and the Mother's gift of magic, the Jackal Tribe was no longer needed. They first fell into anonymity, and then were erased completely, until a decade ago when a young warrior strode from the deserts of Al Zidoa with strange armor and untapped potential. This deadly young warrior, Maksim he called himself, joined the Order of Arcane Knights in the Kingdom of Silvercliff. Over the years he has made a name for himself as strange fighter, and even stranger thinker, but none question his bravery and diligence.
