He can not be counted on to make personal sacrifices even for those who are close to him. He will however, honour a deal that he views to be of value to him and can be counted on to take risks in order to achieve him goals. Shahmat has no friends, and seems people as tools and levers, to be manipulated into doing what he needs them to do. Far from being spiteful or hateful, Shahmat simply has no interest in others, or having a meaningful connection. He lives for himself, and wastes no time in considering why others don't.

o Ethics - Shahmat is a man of his word, and will complete any task that has been agreed. However, he has no charity or empathy in his heart and will not give even the slightest care to those in need who can not directly help himself. Above all, he is concerned with himself and will follow rules and laws only as far as he must to avoid conflict. o Likes - Reading, tricking others into doing something for him. o Dislikes - Nosy people, and people or things that are dependant on him, or expectant of him. * Character History o Pre-Creation - Born into the unfriendly city of Sunberth, Shahmat's childhood was filled with struggles typical of the residents of that city. Having never received a proper education, he was fortunate enough to have spent a short period of time in his early teens as an errand boy for a petty forger who taught him to read and write in common, as well as a basic understanding of a few other tongues. His parents were around until he was of age, and Shahmat promptly moved out as soon as he was able. There was no real animosity in the family, but his self-serving nature ensured that few tears were spilled when he left the family home. It has been years since he last spoke or saw his family. He eventually grew tired of the harsh life he endured in Sunberth, tired of looking over his shoulder every day just in case he had annoyed some small-time thug who held a grudge or some other petty injustice. He moved to Zeltiva, hoping to grind out a better life for himself where there were enough rules to allow for forward motion.
