Clove

Early Life
Abd Albus was born an Ashkai and a thief. Little is known about his life before coming to Pangow, as it was full of sorrow and sin. It is known that he left the Ashkai lands under threat of death. Wandering the Scorching Plains he came upon a Weirwood. It is here that he committed the worst crime of his life, he stole Weirfruit from the sacred trees of Pangow. For this he was brought to the Court to face the Blood Lord's judgement; even in this most sacred of places he couldn't see the seriousness of his crimes, as he had little understanding of the beliefs of Pangow. Many Lords counselled Lady Sage that she should execute the thief as an example to any that would desecrate the sacred woods. Sage knew that was not a fitting punishment for his crimes. She imprisoned Abd Albus in the Weirwood of Barban, he was to live within it's groves and learn to love the sacred ground as she did, with the intention of banishing him once he had taken the place into his heart so that he wold know true pain. Yet when the moment came Sage looked into the Ashkai's eyes and saw not a thief, not a man broken by the world, but one reborn in the glory of Pangow.

Exaltation
At the moment that was meant to be the worst in his life Abd Albus was gifted the name Clove and embraced by the Muqin herself as one of her children. His devotion to the Weirwood had filled his soul with a strength and passion that he had not known before. He was the first Priest of Pangow, a mighty symbol that though many are born outsiders, with devotion and piety all can find greatness and fraternity within Pangow.

Feats
Clove went out in to the world to preach the glory of Pangow. He has brought many into the arms of the Muqin and continues to be a guiding light when times of great darkness and sorrow afflict the settlements of Pangow.

He was instrumental in the assassination of the Ashkai leader Abdul Salam. Allowing other blood court heroes to blend in with the citizens of the Israhan, and providing vital insights into the customs and beliefs of the Ashkai.
