Salah ibn Qaboos, also known as the Amir of Chains, was a Setite who was involved into the end of Ashirra rule on the Iberian peninsula.
Biography
Born into a family of wealthy slavers in Baghdad, Salah grew up knowing nothing but wealth. He became a quite adept slaver, bringing wealth and influence alike to his family. He suffered, however, under psychotic rage attacks that he acted out against his wife and children.
When he met his sire, the two fell in love and began a relationship that was accompanied by a slow introduction into the cult of Set. Salah first became his sire's ghoul and acolyte and was later rewarded with the Embrace for his faithful services and released him to spread the word of the Dark God.
Salah bore a particular ill will against the Ashirra, and traveled to Sevilla and al-Andalus in 1202 to undermine their rule. By cataloging the weaknesses and vices of the local Ashirra leaders, he managed to give christian invaders useful information that led to the liberation of the city.
However, he had made a powerful enemy in the Gangrel Methuselah Shabaqo, who eventually hunted him down and killed him in the latter half of the thirteenth century.
