Baahir

Son of the late Crown Prince Awad — now the heir to Hazad, twice a target, and an old friend of Gnaeus from the partying years.

What We Know

Young, with a young crowd around him — his “court” is the roving party set Gnaeus ran with for four years. Harim al-Faisal is its “second center.” (S2)
Since his father’s death: grieving and chafing at his loss of freedom; his handlers are all from the Sultan’s faction. (S2)
Attacked by assassins at a dockside party — magical darkness, poisoned drinks; the party teleported him out; Princess Ensah arrived with a royal protection detail and took him. (S2)
Rumors also circulate of an assassination attempt with three versions: an elf did it / Prince Ikram did it / a secret cabal of Imperialists did it. (S3)
Earlier rumor: he’d been “hanging around with a seductive elf.” (S1)
The marriage question around him is the political question of the moment — see Royal Court Factions.

“Bahir is Bahir.” Nothing has changed politically and nothing has changed about him.
He complained that Lusia Balventia was not pretty — his considered position on the Integrationists’ candidate bride, a countess who holds one of the most powerful divine gifts in Hazad.
Ismad on Harim al-Faisal: “someone’s useful idiot.”
On the dockside attempt: it appeared to have been thrown together hastily, involved three people, and they were very professional. See The Attacks on Baahir.
Meanwhile the “elven seductress who got her fangs into Bahir tried to assassinate him” line is now street-level talk in the capital, and the capital rioted over it. See The Elf Scapegoating.
