Age: 21
Realm: Nighthelm, formerly of Eston
Status: Trader
Rank: Knight

After Kyra's death, her cousin Malik was somewhat forced by his family to become a Knight of Eston, as he was the last eligible person in the entire family. Although against his will, Malik respected the traditions of the Barghouti clan, and enlisted in the Royal Army. His military career was short-lived, however. After his cousin Marouane was badly injured during a duel, Malik took his place as Count of Malor. It was the perfect excuse for Malik to retire as a soldier, and he became a bureaucrat in order to help undo the damage done by the brutal war that ravaged Eston. He soon found that he preferred this line of work over the life of a soldier, and his sword became nothing but an ornament. But there was one thing that Malik desired above all else... gold.

After hearing stories of traders becoming fabulously wealthy in the Far East, he decided to leave his homelands in search of fortune. He set sail for the Far East, and joined the realm of Nighthelm, where he started off with just one caravan. The first step towards his fortune. The rest of the Barghoutis were furious, believing that Malik was a nothing but a man driven by self-preservation and greed. The only reason he was not thrown out of the clan, was the promise that his cousins could use a share of his gold in order to finance their military careers. Hassan quickly forgave Malik, but Marouane loathed him for the rest of his life, threatening to kill Malik if the two ever crossed paths.
