About Shaheen
Shaheen learned fighting skills from his father as a kid. Thirteen years ago, he saved his friend Salim from an assassination attempt, and they became best friends. Salim encouraged Shaheen to use his skills to protect others. Shaheen joined Salim’s prominent family but later went his own way, joining the army and a private military firm known for security services.
When Salim mysteriously died, Shaheen suspected foul play as G Corporation took over Salim’s company. Investigating, Shaheen found proof of G Corporation’s involvement. He informed Salim’s family and received Salim’s treasured blade from his brother Zarif. Shaheen pledged to fight against G Corporation’s tyranny in honor of his late friend.
