Bio: Found as an abandoned baby by the tombkeepers, Rishid was raised as their servant. Growing up, all he ever wanted was to be adopted into the clan. However, the Ishtar patriarch wouldn't hear of it and made certain that Rishid knew his place, using both words and his hands. Rishid lost all hope of being adopted after Malik was born and initially resented the baby to the point of wanting to murder him.

However, as Malik grew, Rishid grew fond and very protective of him. When Malik's tenth birthday approached, Rishid begged to be adopted, not so much for himself this time, but for Malik's sake. Rishid knew that Malik must undergo a very painful ceremony on his tenth birthday and hoped to undergo the ceremony himself to spare Malik. Again, the patriarch wouldn't hear of it and made his feelings known to Rishid with his fists. 

After Malik underwent the ceremony and suffered the split personality, Rishid tattooed the left side of his face with hieroglyphs, in order to share something of Malik's pain, and to seal away the darker personality. This worked until the day Malik and Isis ventured above ground. When the patriarch found out what they did, he took his anger out on Rishid, beating him to verge of death. This allowed Malik's alter persona free reign, sending them all on a path of no return.

Personality: All Rishid ever wanted was to be accepted into the clan. He carries feelings of rejection with him into adulthood. Protective of Malik, Rishid fears the rise of Malik's alter persona and does his best to try to keep it at bay by being an obedient servant to Malik.

Thoughts: If you don't love the hell out of Rishid, you have no heart.
