Background

As a kid, Abdul was a weakling (He is only a little stronger now).

The only thing that kept the other kids from beating up Abdul on daily basis, was the fact that Abdul was a good runner, and in good health (as he had to run away two to five times each day, it became just better and better). He got caught sometimes, however. Over the years, the beating got worse. One day (Abdul was about 15) got some real beating. Abdul looked inside himself for the power to overcome the attackers. And found it. Without any prior notice, one of the beaters was hit in the back by a rock. He was dead before he hit the ground. Abdul thought, "Did I do that? Guess I did. Can I do it again?" Guess he could. In a few minute time, all of the bullies were dead or dying. A smile appeared on Abdul's face: Power. That day, Abdul killed everyone that had peckered on him through the years. Then he stole some money, and left the town to seek revenge at the world. He smiled broadly all the time.

Abdul pursed his evil ways for many years. Then he met with the fighter Nagasuko Saibot, a protector of good, that were out to slay the evil psionicist. The two battled for almost an hour, before Saibot buried his scimitar in Abdul's chest, and left Abdul mortally wounded and bleeding on the battlefield. But Abdul was not dead. Due to his Iron Will talent, Abdul managed to keep consciousness, and tried his Complete Healing power on himself. He managed to use the power, but fell in a coma right afterwards. When Abdul woke up, he found that all his life functions had ceased. Abdul had, due to negative energies and being healed while really dead, become undead.

For many years, Abdul planed his revenge against Saibot (Abdul was and is very obsessed with revenge), and when it finally came, it came big time: Abdul sent his elite troops (mixed troops, consisting of grimlocks, lizard men, a few undead and a few others) into the stronghold of clan Saibot. Abdul's troops killed every member of the clan (Abdul was there to finish of the aging Nagasuko Saibot himself) except few that did not live with the clan, and the young Kanetsuka Saibot *(2)*, Nagasuko's great grandson who was out fishing. It is said that Abdul was smiling this time too. Time proved that young Kanetsuka was also a "revenge" kind of guy. At sixteen, Kanetsuka went after Abdul. They met five times, the two first times, Abdul won (but Kanetsuka got away alive), the third time, Abdul escaped, the fourth time it was a draw (the battle was interrupted), and the fifth time Kanetsuka actually won (but Abdul reformed). They will probably meet again.

Appearance

Abdul seems just like a VERY old man. He is 6' 3'' tall and weights 150 lbs. He has no hair, and his eyes are just pools of evil, red lights. He usually wears simple, gray robes. Abdul is tall and straight, and a pretty impressive sight. A fearsome sight, some would say.

Personality/ Plots

Abdul is very stubborn, and obsessed with revenge and evil. He has a very strong will, and is pretty proud. He likes to display his psionic powers, and will often Levitate just for show. Abdul has many plots going. Most of them involve some sort of revenge.

Notes

*(1)*
I have no rules for psionicist above level 20, so I have only added more psps and hp. More powers can be added if you got the rules.

*(2)*
The stats of Kanetsuka Saibot will be available soon. E- mail me if you are interesed.

*(3)*
These powers are taken from Dragon # 209, and are summarized here:
Rot Living: The undeads touch does 2d4 hp of damage (Abdul's power is doubled) and destroys living material instantly.
Putrefy: The undeads touch functions like a putrefying food and drink spell (Abdul's power is doubled).
Reform: The undead reforms no matter what.
