Hello and welcome to my little place in the Wiki! :)

Saifuddeen Kenaani

 * Hammer wielding tank specializing in damage output and knockdowns.
 * Mostly W/Mo though sometimes I experiment with W/E or W/Me
 * Retired Big time PvE explorer. Thoroughly replaced by Lamees below. He still makes cameo appearances all around helping guildmates and FoW/UW groups looking for tanks.



Lamees Ghaznawi

 * Air specialized Elementalist, serious butt-kicker!! :)
 * On November 3rd, 2005, she fully conquered the Fissure of Woe with an excellent group, completeing all quests in one run. She is now enshrined into my RPG characters hall of fame.
 * Somehow I find playing the PvE game with an ele a lot easier than a warrior. Maybe because the warrior was my first character and I was having a trial by fire, or maybe because eles sit in the back. It could also be because AoE spells are very effective in wiping out computer controlled mobs.



Transcendant One

 * Mwah ha ha haah! My attempt at being a monkster!
 * One of a handful of monks at the Ashford Abbey who have mastered the long lost art of Apple Smiting Prayers, including Holy Peel, Crunch Signet and Balthazar's Cider (see picture).
 * Healing others is serious work! Being a good monk requires a lot of skill. It also requires patience as you can see the mistakes of others a lot more closely.

Real Life Character

 * Tarek:
 * Level: 30 :)
 * Territory: Egypt (living in the Seattle area)
 * Profession: Teacher/Software Developer specializing in low-level Windows programming.
 * PvE kinda person, likes Basketball, RPG games and Reading
 * The last remaining true Utah Jazz fan in the world. :)

Computer Games
I am a HUGE fan of two genres that are dying right now (but still produce amazing games): Adventure games and well storied RPG games. I enjoy questing and exploring and living the real game experience. I actually abhor much of the most popular elements of MMORPG culture like trading and dissing noobs and playing PvP to climb a ladder. :)

Favorite RPG games:
 * 1) The eternal masterpiece: Planescape: Torment
 * 2) The Baldur's Gate series, especially "Shadows of Amn."
 * 3) Icewind Dale series.
 * 4) Neverwinter Nights (original and Hordes).
 * 5) I currently love the Knights of the Old Republic series for its wonderful storytelling.

Favorite Adventure games:
 * 1) Sierra's old stuff, Space Quest, King's Quest and my most beloved: Hero's Quest.
 * 2) Gabriel Knight series, especially two.
 * 3) Lucas Arts' masterpieces: Monkey Island and Grim Fandango.

Favorite other games:
 * 1) Diablo 1 and 2 for the storyline. If they would just sell the animations as a movie, I would buy it. :)
 * 2) Heroes of Might and Magic (2, 3 and 4). Hands down, the most addictive game I ever played. Heroes 4 had a masterful sound track.
 * 3) WarCraft and StarCraft for excellent storytelling.

I think that it is high time Hollywood made some of these amazing story lines into movies.
