Zaynal ibn Sabur

Zaynal ibn Sabur was one of Grand Caliph Khalil al-Assad al-Zahir's wives in Huzuz in 1367 DR.

Description
Zaynal was a dark and passionate beauty and one of Khalil's favorite wives. She moved with the sultry, predatory grace of a hunting cat.

Personality
Zaynal had a fiery temper that mellowed a bit over the years to the point where she tolerated Khalil's younger wives and concubines.

Abilities
Trained in Kadarasto, she was a legendary dancer of the highest proficiency.

History
During her first decade in the Royal Harim, Zaynal's rivals were known to disappear for days at a time. Upon their return, these shaken rivals always deferred to Zaynal with respect.

Only two people knew Zaynal's true identity&mdash;the Grand Vizier and Khalil's maternal aunt, Sitt Rahmah. Zaynal was in fact a holy slayer of the Soft Whisper, sworn to protect the Grand Caliph. Zaynal had 50 slaves at the Royal Harim, all of whom were female holy slayers as well.
