History: Originally from Riau, a settlement of Qaywas. Scared by Xhias' "bad luck" eyes, his parents forbade him from leaving their small home and having much interaction with outside people. After Xiane's birth, tensions rose between both parents, his mother having a harder time supporting keeping her young son withdrawn from society. When the father left for work, his mother would take Xhias and Xiane outside, where the general public took little issue with his eyes outside of curiosity. The two looked forward to these outings until a day where the father came home early, finding his family gone-- Xhias included. This started a growing trend of abuse against both he and his mother over his shame. His mother tried to save up money so she could get both Xhias and Xiane from the broken household, but the father discovered these plans, divorced her, and kept the children. When Xhias was about 14, he found a stash of savings hidden away in the house. He steals it one night and takes his sister to the shipyard, where they both board for Faradus. The strange looks and ostracizing behavior from other faradens, like his father, lead him to hate his eyes as he tries to find work to support the both of them, finally buying contacts to hide himself.
