Biography
With the rise of the Ottoman Empire, Abdul Rahmann was already a prominent Ottoman Hijazi who had embraced Islam. He approached an influential Hajj known as Tarique, and they drew up an accord that allowed the Ottomans to gain control of Western Arabia through the port of Jeddah. Secretly, however, Mecca and Medina remained under Tarique's guidance, while the desert tribes rested under the dominion of the Wah'Sheen methuselah Zayyat.

Tarique, Rahmann and Zayyat would join forces once again during the last half of the 19th century, at the height of European colonialism, to protect the cities of Mecca and Medina against outside corruption. To this end, Rahmann supported a the Sa'ud tribe in their grab for power and with the help of his allies, worked tirelessly to build Saudi Arabia as a nation, preventing many power-hungry European kindred from claiming power in the region.

Abdul Rahmann is a quiet Ashirra who holds a great deal of power and commands the respect of most people he meets. With the growing concern over his childe, Shaykhe Muhammad, Rahmann has grown more withdrawn and sullen over the inevitable decision that he will be forced to make.
