Skilled Craftsman
Born during the Renaissance, Faris al-Saffar was a brilliant craftsman and engineer from Morocco. He left his home for Granada to sell his incredible tools and devices to the wealthy nobles of the city.
As a skilled inventor, Faris spent his days tinkering with complex tools and volatile explosives, always trying to push the limits of current technology. Many of Faris' experiments were not technically legal, so he was often required to break the law in order to pursue his craft and acquire the forbidden materials that his plans required. To do so, he struck up a deal with the local criminal underground, providing them bombs and tools in exchange for favors.
This arrangement continued until Jariya al-Zakiyya, Sultan Muhammed XII's personal spy, discovered him. Also a member of the Brotherhood, Jariya immediately saw Faris' skills could serve the Assassins. Jariya convinced the Sultan to forgive Faris' innocuous crimes, on the condition that he would join the Brotherhood and provide his incredible tools and devices exclusively to them.
