Ebrahim Tahar

Ebrahim Tahar is a human male smuggler born on the 22nd of March 2412 on the human colony world Athirat. Eb and his parents are of Ghanian descent, and his paternal great-grandparents relocated to Athirat from Ghana, Earth in 2349. When the Somakians attacked the colony in 2415, Eb and his parents managed to make it offworld in their personal cargo hauler, the Golden Phoenix. They relocated to Snovos, which is where Eb spent the rest of his childhood and upbringing. When Eb was nineteen he won a ship in a gambling match. The ship was a Manta-class ship, and Eb named it the 'Anansi', after a traditional Ghanian god. Using the Anansi, Eb began working for the Vilos Cartel, smuggling illegal goods into and out of the Alliance, past Warden patrols. Eb had one older brother named Anwar, who was killed during the Attack on Athirat when he was twelve, and Eb was three. During the Alliance Civil War he was still smuggling for the Vilos Cartel and on one such run he was captured by a Federacy patrol and sentenced to death. However before his sentence could be carried out the ANV Juggernaut attacked the ship, allowing Eb to get back to the Anansi in the hanger bay and jump to safety.
