Desert-rider (4), Archer (3)
Steed (Sulayman): Spirited red Arabian stallion (3)
"Amir al-Ahmar? Yes, I have heard of him, though I doubt anyone beyond the deep High Desert has. There are many stories of him, but which are true, I cannot say.
It is said he is a bronze statue of a man, strong and hard as the desert sun. His eyes are black as coals, yet no man has ever seen his face, for he wears the aba and caftan of a desert rider with his keffiyeh pulled across his face covering all but his eyes in the style common among al-Badian horsemen. All his clothes are hues of scarlet, crimson, and rust. The Scarlet Prince they call him, for it is rumored he was once the chieftain of a tribe which the desert itself slaughtered.
Amir al-Ahmar is a skilled archer and carries a bow of red wood and black arrows with red feathers. If pressed to it he fights with a scimitar in each hand. So fierce are his strokes, that some men say his wounds leave marks like fire.
He rides a magnificent steed, a spirited red Arabian stallion who is as tireless as a camel. The al-Badia's constitution is no less formidable, and it is said he has crossed the harshest desert with little more than provisions for his steed and returned as fit and hale as when he left.
Amir al-Ahmar is not a man you would cross lightly. He knows only the law of the desert which is slow to forgive and quick to avenge. He calls no man his friend, yet those few who have travelled with him say they have never known a fiercer, more loyal or more dangerous ally."
Amir al-Ahmar carries the following special items gained during his adventures:
Ring of the Camel: In the words of the Sha'ir, Ali Afyal Ramaq beni Kasim al Gana who divined its powers, "...the ring is most interesting and rare... its wearer needs fear the desert no more than a camel does."
