Hekau

Hekau was a renegade Senpet priest and sahir duelist who became the Qabal Champion.

Qabal Champion
Hekau joined a secret society of sorcerers, the Qabal, and became their leader. They conspired to overthrow the Caliph Hanan Talibah and her minions the Khadi, and studied the forbidden arts in hopes of finding a way to bind the Khadi and bring down the Immortal Caliph at Medinaat al-Salaam. The Senpet and her leader the Pharaoh Hensatti became the allies of the Caliph, and Hekau had to conceal his plans from them.

The Prophecy
An ancient prophecy, the Awakening, required to gather four avatars of the Goddess to be released. It was believed that it would mark the dawnfall of the Caliph, and the Qabal worked to fulfill it. They found one of the avatar between them, Amra, whose secrecy was protected even with the sacrifice of Hekau's freedom. The Qabal fought the Caliph's patrols and Amra was not captured, at the cost of Hekau being taken prisoner.
