Malik al Din

Malik al Din is a blademaster and a member of the al Din Dynasty.

Background
Born second son to the monarch of Taneth, Malik grew up training to become the new Crimson Archer, the leader of the Keshik. However, in a freak training accident, he lost his right hand, and thus all sword fighting ability with it. Not only that, but he was no longer capable of holding a bow--something the Crimson Archer needs to do if he is to teach the Keshik archery. As a result, Malik lost the one thing he had been training his whole life for. Although emotionally crushed, and initially discouraged, he began sword training with his left-hand, determined to keep his status as a blademaster.

Malik has set off on a quest of self-discovery with his aging uncle, determined to find what kind of person he truly is and prove his worth both to his father and himself.
