Biography

Early life

Fuladh was born a slave as the child of his father's concubine. When Fuladh was a boy, he and his father stitched together a kite to play with. After his father was arrested and thrown into Damascus Gate Prison of Baghdad, Fuladh made a habit of regularly flying his kite outside the prison, hoping the wind would carry it over the walls to show his father that his child was near, even if they could not see or talk to each other. He never learned if his father ever saw the kite, though, and he remembered the jail as a particularly "cruel and unforgiving" place for the rest of his years.

His father's favored wife, worried Fuladh would claim inheritance, threw both him and his mother out of the household. After his mother died, Fuladh grew up in the deserts alone, living and befriending the animals that lived in the area, particularly birds. In adulthood, Fuladh was scouted by a Hidden One while he was hunting with his birds. Fascinated with Fuladh's abilities, the Hidden One recruited him into the Brotherhood in Alamut.

Fighting the Martyrs of Agaunum

By 824, Fuladh discovered that the Order of the Ancients used the the Martyrs of Agaunum to recover an artifact. He recruited a group of mercenaries to steal the artifact, especially rescuing the thief Roshan, who was in prison in Fustat. At a meeting in a tavern in Fustat, he, accompanied by his apprentice, addressed the group on their mission and provided them weapons and rations. While the group prepared itself, Fuladh and his apprentice left the tavern before they ventured towards the Martyrs.

Before long, he joined the remaining members of his group in Baghdad at the House of Wisdom but remained afar from them. While he watched Persian mercenary Azadeh, her wolf companion Onyx, Roman pirate Dias and Roshan ambush the Martyrs, he waited until he eliminated an injured martyr. Instantly, he went after the Martyrs' customer, an agent of the Order. While fighting, he and the others were caught in the vicinity of an explosion, which was set off by Dias opening the case and activating the hidden mechanism. With Dias dead and the customer stumbling, Fuladh stabbed the customer three times, ultimately killing him. Realizing the Martyrs were gone and Roshan and Azadeh remained, he revealed his findings about them and how they worked together, despite Azadeh losing Onyx. Ultimately, he convinced Roshan to join the Hidden Ones and let Azadeh leave, while promising that he provided a cure for her ailing father.

Anarchy of Samarra

In time, he became known as the Eagle Master of Alamut, for he was the caretaker of the trained eagles that would be given to fellow Hidden Ones as companions. By the 860s, Fuladh served with then Master Roshan as the Brotherhood's council leaders alongside Mentor Rayhan. In 862, he was sent with Roshan and her apprentice Basim Ibn Ishaq to Baghdad to fight the Order of Ancients. He served as the rafiq of the Harbiyah bureau to help Basim to track Al-Ghul. Later, he moved to the Sharqiyah bureau investigating on Al-Mardikhwar. Later, he returned to Harbiyah to advices Basim's investigation on the leader of the Order.

Mentor

In the decade following the event in the Alamut Temple, Fuladh obtained the title of Mentor. In 879, Fuladh was set to host a gathering for the Hidden Ones in Alamut. Rayhan invited Hytham, Basim's apprentice sent to England, to attend the meeting and give a full accounting of Basim's obsessive quest for the Æsir Odin's reborn form of Eivor Varinsdottir, and to be conferred a new rank.
