Calm and reserved, Tariq Barghouti, the oldest of the Barghouti brothers, has never been one to seek battle wherever he can find it. He is more disciplined than his brothers, and is more than happy with a role a lieutenant in the army. In battle, Tariq tends to act on his instinct rather than his emotions, and he will be rarely seen charging the enemy in a berserker rage. He is a well-oiled fighting machine whose only intent is to follow orders.
Tariq started his military career in Ibladesh, a realm he will forever carry in his heart. He was immediately called to arms, as Ibladesh was fighting a much larger enemy, the realm of Perdan. Although he never made his feelings public, deep down, he did not feel that this war was a righteous one. Ibladesh was constantly on the defensive, and the few times they tried to mount an offensive, it was quickly dealt with by the powerful Perdanite army. Ibladesh was betrayed by their ally Ubent, which put them even deeper in trouble.
More and more Ibladeshians started having doubts about whether the war should continue, but the Pontifex Maximus, Lady Sorcha, did not pay attention, and she stubbornly insisted on waging war against Perdan. With a heavy heart, Tariq said farewell and boarded a ship to Atamara. He became impressed with the might of the Kingdom of Abington, the most powerful army on Atamara, and one of the most powerful in the world. He joined Abington, and has since found the joy of being a soldier once more.
But the call of the East Continent was always strong, and Tariq decided it was time to move back. He emigrated to the East Continent and joined Sirion, but after a short stay, he found that the atmosphere on the East Continent had deteriorated greatly, and for the second time, Tariq moved away from the Islands, towards Beluaterra. He joined Enweil, and helped them to rebuild their lands after the last undead invasion, until he mysteriously disappeared. He left no trace, which has lead to much speculation. Some say he died in a hunting accident, others say he was murdered by rogue marauders, whilst a few people believe he has just retired and is living the rest of his life in secrecy and solitude.
