Personal history
Fatima was born in Eqb'sh. Whether she was the child of a poor person or was abandoned at or near birth is uncertain. What is certain is that she grew up an orphan in that desert city. Her obvious tiefling nature made her unwelcome in most places (though, certainly, someone must have shown at least a modicum of compassion when she was a small child, or she would not have survived).
In her late adolescence, she stumbled upon a meeting of dilettantes who affected to worship the ancient Devil-God Set (a version of the Archdevil Asmodeus). Though their "worship" was severely lacking, their social power and the secretive nature of their activity attracted her. She watched them from a distance, pining for the kind of power she believed them to have. One dark, moonless night, a handsome man visited her. Promising her greater power than even those pathetic posers if she'd only agree to serve him, Asmodeus, himself, took her into his service.
From that time, Fatima, now styled "al-Ashmedai," set about building the Atfal Ashmedai, more well known as the Cult of Ashmedai. For decades, she has built a following for her patron that spans the Corvalan continent.
Sexuality
Fatima takes whatever partners she fancies, whenever she fancies them. Sometimes, she lets them live when she is done with them.
Education
Though of poor and uneducated background, Fatima has studied long and hard. She is as well versed in religion, arcana, and the specific lore of Asmodeus as anyone who has ever lived on Alzhonar.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Fatima has founded chapters of Atfal Ashmedai in Qemish, Rithom, Eqb'sh, Itaros, Esomimba, Psikandos, Estinople, and Vvathaf. The most important was the chapter in Vvathaf until it was raided. Now, the center of her operation is in Psikandos.
Failures & Embarrassments
- Raid on the Atfal Ashmedai chapter in Vvathaf
- The death of Azazel
- The escape of Azazel's companions, and the apparent defection of Ozymandias
Mental Trauma
The poverty and powerlessness of her youth scarred Fatima. Anytime she feels powerless, she is apt to react rashly.
Intellectual Characteristics
Fatima is thoughtful and calculating. She enjoys physical and mental pleasures, including good food, sexual relations, logic puzzles, and learning arcane or religious lore.
Morality & Philosophy
Fatima is wholly and fanatically devoted to Asmodeus.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Fatima has two basic motivators: Serve/advance the interests of Asmodeus, and serve/advance her own desires, provided that doing so does not interfere with her pact with Asmodeus.
