Mavuno’s family
Shida:
Mavuno:
Maisha (マイシャ): Maisha is the sole female child of Mavuno and Hunterwali before they died in a flood. She was raised by a shaman named Shawana.
The Mahmouds
Hunterwali (aka Waseme Mahmoud): Hunterwali is the only adult one out of three sisters. Her father is a wealthy commoner entrepreneur and her mother is the daughter of freed slaves. Married a man named Mavuno and birthed a girl named Maisha.
Amina Mahmoud: One of Hunterwali’s sisters.
Zuwena Mahmoud: Another of Hunterwali’s sisters. She rescued Hunterwali while knowing the consequences of their town’s demolition.
The El Atrashes
Abdullah El Atrash: Asha’s dead dissident ex-businessman father, known for being against the rather horrendous slavery of both women and men from various warring Bantu groups, often by Arabs or fellow natives regardless of religion, ethnicity and skin colour.
Asha El Atrash: One of Hunterwali’s friends, she is a bookworm.
The Haq Family
Sharifa Haq: Sharifa is another of Hunterwali’s Friends.
The Husseins
Samar: Samar was both Ilam’s slave and the victim of serial sexual violations by one of Ilam’s wives.
Kahan: Kahan is the third wife’s only son of the equally screwed up Ilam. He was a badly raised train wreck who didn’t know any more than most of his fellow royals.
Ishar: Kahan’s relatively narcissistic, filthy rich son who clearly has a weak amount of already rather limited empathy. He also isn’t a good person to begin with, but nonetheless ain’t as much of a master manipulator as Hamid.
Adhab:
Ramallah: Kahan’s once favoured (albeit PTSD suffering) older half brother and the fourth wife’s younger son of Ilam. He committed suicide in light of his family’s atrocious track record.
Pinku: Pinku is the son of the sexually violated and defiled Samar. He is a muscly young man trying to find his own niche at the cost of his relatives frequently dying.
Ilam: The father of many children and husband of his six wives. Ilam was born into a barbaric family with links to the mind numbing corruption of fellow warring chiefs, and sometimes foreign (mostly Omani, Lowland and Highland Scottish, British English and German) merchants.
Hamid: A person with a genetic affinity for the Karma Houdini effects, Hamid is Ilam’s last known boy child and the only son of his fourth concubine. He becomes ruler of the Husseins at the end of the main story, causing all of the main heroes to flee away from him as far as possible. Before that, he unceremoniously let his own half brother Madu kill Kahan and forced Ishar to marry Ramallah’s daughter Misha.
Madu Al Hassan: Hamid’s equally crazy half brother and the second concubine’s son.
Misha: Ramallah’s foul mannered daughter.
Hallam:
Shamsher: A defiled but brutally honest young man who wears a lot of blinging jewels to signify his status.
Nana: Pinku’s older sister and Samar’s fellow child. She is a young woman, perhaps older than Hunterwali herself. Happily, Nana instead becomes a shaman.
The Bin Saids
Rashid: Nicknamed The Behemoth due to his huge size, Rashid is nonetheless a moderately unstable man trying to shake off the legacy of his own awful and formerly amicable friends. In the end of the main story, he has finally gotten his very own desired wish; to truly be his own man in a good light, but it happened seven years after the day that his estranged father committed suicide.
Banwari: Rashid’s sly younger brother, who is a bullied and emotional fellow nonetheless.
Salim: A well intended extremist, Salim is the cunning older brother to Rashid and Banwari. He frequently tries to usurp the throne until he realises that the Husseins are even worse than he thought. He slowly grew from a thievish being into a flawed but intelligent, sensitive being throughout the story.
