[&]History: Rahim was conceived out of Recognition between Thundercatcher and Saleen just before Sikeen was killed. Fiesal took on the responsibility of raising the boy and claimed him as his own as Saleen would not let Thundercatcher anywhere near the child. It would be years later she would admit who his biological father was. It is not public knowledge to the tribe and assumed he is Fiesal’s, their appearances being so close. Sensing his dame’s distress of the wolfyness while in the womb he did not call to the wolfblood but still carries at least some perhaps because of having a soul name. His Wolf blood is unknown to anyone except Saleen, Fiesal, Leyna, Thundercatcher and perhaps Araf.

Ever a bright beacon in his mother’s eyes he was always cheerful and upbeat helping to cool tempers in the tribe along with Fiesal, specifically Araf’s. At one point Rahim and Thundercatcher spoke and acknowledge the fact that Thundercatcher had in fact sired him. It did not change their relationship as just being tribemates however.

Rahim’s interest in Araf started innocently enough well before the Chief was obsessed with the humans. He had discovered a kinder side of the surly elf that was rarely seen and he found it endearing to the point that he had developed unspoken feelings for his Chief. Rahim found reasons to be around Araf be it hunting or scouting with him. Though he was not blind to the opinions of the tribe Rahim always defended Araf and cooled the tempers that arose before they became a challenge years before the Human issue came into being. His task at peacekeeping became more difficult once Araf started targeting the Humans to the point where he had to choose between protecting his family or being with them. Rahim chose to give his family and those who sought to free themselves of the humans an opportunity to do so. He stayed hoping to either talk sense into his lovemate at the time or to abolish the cause of Araf’s obsession once and for all. Little did he know that endeavor would not be a timely or simple one to achieve.

Rahim fought by Araf’s side for the fifty years of war and often curbed the Chief’s more reckless endeavors against the humans. Many a time he swayed Araf from attempting full out attacks and instead convinced the hotheaded Chief to use ambushes and guerrilla tactics, thus persevering the lives of more tribemates. The night the others left with Tusk, Rahim convinced Araf to go on a scouting mission giving the group enough time to get far enough away pursuit would be pointless. Araf was furious at the betrayal of the deserters but the scouting mission had been legitimate so no suspicion fell on Rahim. Ever by his side and supporting Araf through thick and thin, Rahim became his right hand in battle and council with the tribe as well as his lifemate.

The attack that took Araf’s life started out as a ambush but Araf brashly changed the plans finding the now old Human he held his grudge against was in the carriage and charged it after having the others make a distraction with the assault. Unbeknown to the elves, the ambush was on them, and the guards too many. Rahim followed after Araf, fighting alongside him but they were overtaken and Araf injured fatally, his wolf cut from beneath him. In a fit of panic and rage, Rahim was able to rescue Araf on his own pony and called for a retreat. Rahim also hurt, hid both of them in some brush trying to stop Araf’s bleeding to no avail.

After Araf’s death, and the devastating loss of many tribemates, he decided to seek out his family and Azir’s tribe in hope of bringing the two back together or at least finding if there was an option for it to happen. Leaving the remainder of his battle torn tribe in a safe area he went in search of Azir’s tribe. Upon finding them after a year of searching, he seems much the same jovial elf but for those closest to him there is a little light missing in his eyes sometimes. He has accepted Araf’s death happened and was inevitable. But he does not think he is ready to move on in a serious manner yet. Hence only those who are really observant or super close to him take note of the flirtatious veil he wears covering those feelings.

Rahim acts like nothing is wrong but the war with the humans and finally the loss of Araf were hard on him. He goes about as he did before for those who remember him when the tribes were together but occasionally he seeks some alone time. Often in the form of going out on watch via ponyback or solitary sword practice if he does not have a sparring partner. During his year of travel he encounter some humans, got into one or two scuffles (only scouts 1 or 2 max humans) initially and then was able to keep his distance thereafter being out of there territory.
