Hakim Yamen

Hakim Yamen a Dahabi of the House Yamen was a merchant at Medinaat al-Salaam.

Dahab Merchant
Hakim was a fair man, and had acquired a reputation for trading equitably with all outsiders.

View on the Senpet
In 1130 the Senpet Empire had bought many properties in the Jewel, and provided an outstanding army to the Immortal Caliph. Hakim believed the gluttonous Senpet Empire had grown too until the founders of the City became nothing more than their property. He pondered if the merchant Houses of Dahab had to organize an embargo, or if the result would likely be war.

Midnight, an Ashalan
In the night a wounded Ashalan, Midnight, appeared in his balcony, chased by a jinn of the Kaleel's Legion. It was the first time Hakim had seen a member of this fabled race. Midnight told the jinn was an assassin, sent after him to prevent the message Midnight carried from ever reaching his home, the City of the Seventh Star. The child of the smokeless fire would murder any and all who come in contact with him.

Chased by a jinn
Midnight and Hakim entered the sewers, but before they reach their destination the jinn and the ashalan locked in mortal combat. Midnight was mortally wounded and touched Hakim while he passed his soul and knowledge. Hakim enpowered by the experience fought and consumed the jinn, trapping his spirit inside his own body.

Ashalan city
The body of Midnight, a member of the Council of Four, was cast out into the underground part of Nahr'umar's current, following the Ashalan rituals for the dead, by his daughter Katani, and Anbari, the Ashalan Leader. Althira, another ruling member of the Ashalan, told Hakim he belonged upon the ashalan Council after he would pass the Test of the Ebon Stone.

Message
Midnight's message told the wicked jinn Lord Kaleel would return from his slumber after the prophecy of the Awakening would be fulfilled. The Ashalan had been prepared for that since the Day of Wrath.
