Ahmed is a deeply wounded man, who needs his duties in order to have a reason to live. Survivor’s guilt may tempt him to take foolish risks; though he will not do so if the lives of others are at stake. He has issues with abandonment, and will be hesitant to ever let anyone get close to him again…
Physical Description
Ahmed is a tall man (6’2) with a lanky build. He is olive-complexioned, with greenish eyes flecked with gold. In certain lights, or when he is angry, they turn amber, like the eyes of a tiger. He has black wavy hair and a beard; which like his hair, he keeps neatly trimmed.
Personality Description
Like many law enforcement officers, at heart Ahmed is a gentle soul, who does what he does because he cares about people. He is tolerant and slow to anger…though should his anger become aroused all bets are off. He will not get angry on his own account...but seeing others harmed is another story. Especially should it be women and children, or the elderly; in which case he is more likely to throw a punch than a hex. However if the tormenter is into hexing people he will respond in kind. Some may see Ahmed’s uniform, and mistakenly assume the only weapons he understands are firearms...
History
Ahmed’s mother was English, and a witch. It was the Sixties, and like many others she came to India in search of enlightenment. Instead she found romance, in the form of a young Pashtun tribal chieftain. Again like many others, after a time she decided love was not all you need; and soon after Ahmed’s birth, she and her Pashtun friend parted company. This is all that Ahmed’s father would ever tell him about her. But Ahmed never had cause to feel deprived, for he had a grandmother, aunts, female cousins and servants to fuss over him. When he was five years old his father married; but unlike in the storybooks, Ahmed’s stepmother was kind to him. And soon he had a baby sister, whom he adored. Nevertheless Ahmed has always wondered about his birth mother.
Just after Ahmed’s seventh birthday, it became evident that he had inherited his mother’s talents. In the beginning this involved seeing things that others did not. Or shall we say he saw beings others did not? There are many such creatures in that part of the world...snow lions, the yeti, the garuda, rakshasas, and dakinis, to name just a few. Ahmed was brought up to regard all of these as sentient beings. In other words, as people, not animals...
He was home-schooled until, at the same age when students here are sent to Hogwarts, he was sent to Shamballa, the Hidden City of Light. The temple school oversaw his training; and his greatest skills turned out to be in Defense Against the Dark Arts. After graduating from the temple school, he went on to the University of Mumbai, where he took a degree in Criminology. After that he enlisted in the Indian Border Security Force. Though in appearance he is an ordinary Law Enforcement officer, he is also what the Western magical tradition would call an Auror.
Occupation
Colonel, Indian Border Security Force (BSF). Presently assigned as liason to the Ministry of Magic.
How do you go about it? Ahmed leads patrols to monitor ancient smuggling routes across the Karakorum, Himalaya and Kunlun Mountains. Lately there are rumors that the smuggling involves rare magical creatures. He understands there is a market for these creatures with certain people in the British wizarding community. He is here to investigate and share information.
How did you get your current occupation? The Indian Armed Forces have a secret wizarding branch. Ahmed has qualified for his position and rank through a combination of education, experience and skills.
How do your past and abilities justify your current skills? Ahmed has eighteen years of experience in his field, and an almost lifelong rapport with magical creatures.
