Tel'aat el-Ali

• Cairo By Night

Sobriquet: The Rising Flame.
Appearance: Tel'aat always strives to embody the best in the usual Assamite archetypes. In earlier nights, he dressed in simple robes or in the attire most common to the fellaheen. These nights, he dresses in slick, dark suits that highlight his powerful physique. Furthermore, Tel'aat never goes out without the customary hatta and iqal covering his head.
Background: Tel'aat's past remains murky to most Kindred in Cairo, for all his talk of senile elders, he is rumored to have been a fixture in the City of the Victorious for centuries himself.
Personality: Tel'aat actually believes that he is the vanguard for the Children of Haqim in Cairo. He often speaks of how the Banu Yashkur has spent useless centuries, suffering under the so-called wisdom of cowardly elders, and he seeks to return the Children of Haqim to their former glory. It is both Tel'aat's cause and personal motto that there was a time when the name "Assamite" struck fear and awe into the hearts of all Kindred - and it is his personal Jyhad to usher in that age once more.
Current Events: The recent destruction of the Tower of Cairo has had more than a symbolic effect on the mortals and Kindred of Cairo. The Prince of Cairo, Muhktar Bey is missing, the Consultative Council may have been destroyed in the fiery explosion that destroyed their meeting place. The disappearance or possible death of Imanna bint Antara has thrown the Banu Yashkur into chaos and only Tel'aat has stepped forward to lead the Khitta.
