	Having been a prostitute, Maryam decided to strike out on her own after learning of the limited options she and her peers had once they aged out of the work. She saved up her money, built connections with clients that could help her and took out some loans to establish her mobile brothel around 810.

'''Maryam''' was a brothel madam from [[Damascus]], who operated a mobile brothel along the [[Silk Road]] in the early 9th century.

==Biography==
Having been a prostitute, Maryam decided to strike out on her own after learning of the limited options she and her peers had once they aged out of the work. She saved up her money, built connections with clients that could help her and took out some loans to establish her mobile brothel around 810.

Some time later, Roshan discovered that Xex would attempt a hostile takeover of the brothel, wanting to run the caravan themselves, with Maryam either ending up without a job or once again a prostitute. Roshan warned the other women while Maryam was out with her lovers at a spa, with some women staying and others preparing to leave. As Maryam left the spa to find Roshan there, she asked if the younger woman was leaving, which she replied with a yes, as well as an admission that she had told the others. Maryam stepped forward, cupped Roshan's face and quickly stroked the skin under her eyes in a tender gesture before leaving for the market with her lovers in tow, telling Roshan she would walk towards her fate and waving.<ref name="Chapter 14"/>

Maryam was described as a striking woman, despite the age she showed on her face. She would dress herself in the finest silks with the most suble shades, hiding her wealth to all but those who knew what to look for.<ref name="Chapter 10"/> Roshan considered her cunning, street smart and compassionate, multifaceted human and savvy businesswoman who was "objectively terrible when it came to records documenting the business".<ref name="Chapter 12"/>
