Brief History: Born in the one of the harshest environments Ruferus has to offer, Faya Al-Azbakhan is no stranger to death and destruction. Her parents were Kalbastan freedom fighters, swearing their lives to the annihilation of Pakovia, an oppressive regime that sought to conquer the southern countries for their own. Using Thalland-made Stinger missles, the Kalbastanis avenged themselves upon their foes by taking out the Pakovian Hind gunships one by one. The Kalbastanis were relentless and brutal and it was their devout faith to their home that drove the Pakovians out of Kalbastan.

Unfortunately, the Pakovian infantrymen were also quite adept and their night raids killed many, including Faya’s mother and father. The leader of the raid, Captain Alexei Khrushtov found the two year old Faya playing with a toy in her parents’ tent, completely oblivious to what had become of her beloved mother and father. Khrushtov could not bear to leave the child to die in the desert sands, so he snatched up the child and brought her back to his camp. With their innate hostility towards the Kalbastanis, Khrushtov’s superiors would have nothing to do with the child, but had no compunction to allowing Khrushtov himself to raise her. Khrushtov had no hate for Faya. His wife, Nadia, was unable to bear children due to an infection of her uterus, so he saw Faya as his own. After the failure of the invasion, Alexei retired from the Pakovian armed forces and lived with Nadia and Faya in Bresztik, a city on the Pakovian/Kalbastani border.

Alexei and Nadia were good parents to Faya, although she had trouble fitting in at school. The other children knew she was Kalbastani from the gem she wore on her forehead, so they would constantly tease and make fun of her. She was a loner through most of school until high school, where she finally found some Pakovians more tolerant of her. She had some fun with her looks, piercing numerous parts of her body and dying her hair purple.

At the end of high school, Faya decided to visit her former homeland. Kalbastan had never fully recovered from the invasion; many of its people lived in poverty and starvation. It depressed Faya, but she felt no malice towards her Pakovian foster parents. On the way back across the border, she found a strange disc, half buried in the sand. As she touched the edge, it cut her fingers and Faya was reluctant to pull it out of the sand. But she looked at it more closely and discovered it was a chakram, and took it home with her. But the blood from her fingers caused it to glow… and with the glow came the calling. It beckoned her across the ocean to the metropolis of Thalland City. She never told Alexei and Nadia why she had to go to Thalland City, but they trusted their foster daughter enough to make her own choice.

Once in Thalland City, she tracked down Hector Sanchez and showed him the chakram. Together, they discovered the nature of their objects and knew that they had to stick together, no matter what. Faya and Hector got so close, they began a rather empty relationship in which Hector deflowered Faya. But that’s all it amounted to: sex. But when Hector met Tiger Deuteronomy, Faya became incredibly jealous and resentful of both of them. But once Edmund showed up, Faya was all over him, sharing her bed with him to get back at Hector.

As the Ace of Pentagrams, Faya is a dangerous assassin under Jared’s thumb. She knows what she wants and she’ll do anything to get it.
