Name:[/u] Zulfiqar Berkant
Age:[/u] 57
Gender:[/u] Male
Nation:[/u] Earth
Bender?:[/u] Earthbender (Sand Nomad Style) Zulfiqar is an adept bender, very good when it comes to bending the earth in sand but no master.
Appearance:[/u] Zulfiqar Is 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighs 225 lbs. Zulfiqar has a fairly large stomach, on a medium sized frame. Zulfiqars graying hair still is fairly dark having been black when he was younger, it is kept cropped fairly short. Zulfiqars skin is very tanned and wrinkled. Although wrinkled his face still has a bit of baby-fat in the cheeks making his smile seem somewhat comical.
Zulfiqar, while out on the sandsailor wears the traditional dress of his people as it is quite functional, however, when in the earth kingdom proper or in town, he wears white robes with golden trim and a wide green sash across his stomach. when reading something Zulfiqar will pull out small circular glasses with golden rims to read with.
Personality:[/u] Zulfiqar is first and foremost a merchant. he is always looking for a good deal. Zulfiqar is loyal in the sense that he will help his friends and acquaintances as long as it does not hurt himself. He wont sell people out for the quick dollar only because it would tarnish his reputation and make it impossible to do business in the future, but he wont help out someone if there is nothing in it for him.
History:[/u] Born to the sand nomads, Zulfiqar learned at a young age that a shrewd mind when looking for deals is needed to survive. living as a Sand nomad if you cant negotiate a good price for food or water, you are very likely to die.
However due to Zulfiqar being the second son, he would never inherit his fathers goods or become the Head of the family. at the age of 21 when his oldest nephew was 14 and able to take over duties to the family, Zulfiqar built a Sandsailor and left to try to create his own fortune and family.
To fund his own trading business Zulfiqar first set up tours and safe passage through the desert collecting every cent he could and being as stingy as possible until he had enough to start trading himself.
Zulfiqar showed a natural aptitude to the marketplace, as he traveled the earth kingdom with his caravan he learned how to do more standard earthbending but only showed the barest aptitude in it. As the war progressed further and further into the Earth Kingdom Zulfiqar took advantage of the turmoil to become very wealthy bu smuggling goods between groups of earthbenders in the Kingdom.
Although he had become very wealthy Zulfiqar always regrets his inability to have found a woman to settle down with and lead the sand nomadic life that he grew up in.
