Saj, the Desert Corsair

Saj, the Desert Corsair skin description

Saj, the Desert Corsair Saj’s parents were desert corsairs who roamed throughout the Kingdom of the Cobra with their crew of trusty corsairs to loot the golden treasure hidden by the Cobra King. When Saj’s mother became pregnant with him, his mother and father both agreed that they should discontinue the life of desert corsairs because they wanted to raise him well. They settled down in a small village by the oasis where Saj was born; his parents became foragers, so Saj would either tag along with his parents or play with the local kids. The Cobra King sent his Cobra Knights to capture the crew that Saj’s parents rode along with. The crew was captured and summoned in the court before the Cobra King. The Cobra King offered them pardons and gold coins if they bring the heads of Saj’s parents; at first, the crew hesitated, but they eventually accepted the offer. The Cobra King supplied them with weapons, armors, and horses as an exchange for the heads of Saj’s parents. News of Cobra soldiers and desert corsairs working together echoed throughout the kingdom. The people became more afraid as they heard rumors of homes being ransacked, innocents being killed, farms being set aflame, and more. Saj’s parents knew something suspicious was going on, but they would have not thought that their old, trusted crew would work with the Cobra King. As Saj’s parents were foraging for cactus, they heard their village’s bell rang and the people screamed in panic in the distant. They got on their horses and rode quickly back to their village. The Cobra soldiers and the crew were raiding the village; they searched the houses and arrested the villagers. Saj’s parents snuck to the village and found Saj hiding behind the mud vases. They grabbed him and ran back to their homes, locking the door and closing the windows. Saj’s parents pulled the rug and swept the sand off the floor, revealing a hidden basement door which they told Saj to get in. Saj’s parents told Saj to be calm and stay quiet. They handed him an amulet, assuring him that the amulet will protect him from any danger if he has it on him; they gave him their last hugs and kisses before they shut the door and hid it. The Cobra soldiers surrounded their house and the crew ordered them to surrender. Feeling betrayed by their own friends, they smashed the mud wall and took the weapons they had used when they were corsairs. Saj’s parents exchanged their last kiss and then swung the door, charging towards their crew. The village was pillaged, becoming only rubble and flames. An old man in a brown robe rode a horse through the ruin. He heard crying under the rubble, which he followed. He pulled the bricks and wood out of his way, spotting a door. He opened and saw a little boy digging his face into his arms, crying and holding an amulet in his hands. — Saj became one of the greatest desert corsair in the kingdom as he looted many hidden treasures of the Cobra King. The old man was a desert corsair himself. He adopted Saj and taught him how to fight, stealth, and loot. Saj learned quickly from the old man, and ventured for the treasure on his own, which made the old man irritated because he warned Saj many times to not loot alone. When the old man died, Saj inherited his wealth, but he donated all of it to a local charity. Saj is now on a search for the crew who betrayed and killed his parents. He has the amulet forged into the hilt of his dagger, wishing to use it on them.
