Anas Asif

Foreign powers threaten the Asari people, and believe that we will simply lie down and give up without a fight. If they wish us to lie down, and submit, stand up! Stand up and fight! Cisca is a puppet master, and any sense of freedom you may have is false, for if you look closely enough you will see the strings of deception control everything that is around you. - Anas Asif, Last Pharoan of the Asarid

Early life, and rise to power
Anas Asif was the last Pharoan of the Asari, and the honorary founder of the Turisian resistance. He was born during the height of the Asarid Empire in the Pharoan Palace of Banjaar. He was raised to be a great king, and warrior, for at the time the Asarid were engaged in a war with the High Empire during the middle of the Turisian Human Civil-War (which was cut short by the arrival of Cisca). He was raised as a warrior, one who could help win the war of the Asari, the largest nation at the time in both population, and wealth.

Cisca invaded when Anas was only 12, and he assumed control the Asarid at only the age of 13 after his father Zahid was killed in the battle for Meridia. It was the bloodiest battle in the shroud war, and resulted in a Turisian unification attempt by the High Empire. It failed, but shortly after the Asari and Highborn merged, and the Dwarven and Elven races lended their armies to the Asari to try and fight off an impending Ciscan invasion. Eventually the Ciscans arrived at Banjaar, and laid siege to the city, killing Anas during the battle that followed.

Anas held the title of Pharoan for only 2 months before his death; but he had been the first Pharoan to unite the Asari and Highborn, two factions of humanity who had long feuded over land. Slightly less than a year after his death, the entire Turisian continent was united thanks to the ground work he had laid during his short time in power. Despite this, the Cisca Corproation was far to large and powerful, and quickly crushed any resistance. In the modern day, Anas is respected as the founder of the resistance, and as one of the great Pharoan; while is universally hated by Cisca.
