Alim Abdul-Qadir

Alim Abdul-Qadir is a character roleplayed by Lady Natalie. A religious extremist in his own right, Alim is known for open hostility and even hypocrisy to enforce Saradomin's code on the populace. Guided by Cristoforo de Croce, Alim was sent into a much more radical route as time moved on.

Early Life
Alim was born to an immigrant family in Falador, Saradominists coming from Al-Kharid. Alim was raised by them in a devout convert family that adapted well to Falador, especially due to the wealth they carried. Alim, however, did not receive the same treatment.

Harassed for his race, Alim was known to take a route of violence and assault his attackers, using a broom handle as his weapon of choice. The Kharidian-Boy was vicious, prone to be a fierce protector of his friends and family in the area. Attending church, Alim had set a high aspiration of becoming a Knight.

By age eight, Alim was carrying croziers for the Church of Saradomin, acting as an altar-boy and tending to the candles for the local priest. Needless to say, this led to some rather traumatic experiences for Alim due to the abrasiveness of Tomica the Pious.

Alim turned himself away from the church after this, only to return as an teenager, determined not to let the same happen to others. Squiring for the White Knights, Alim was a vicious fighter using a bladed staff against his opponents.

The Temple Knights
Alim fought with a ferocity unprecedented for White Knights, an aggressively speed-based form of fighting being his preference when he was young. Feeling inner shame, he felt the urge to prove he was superior. Stronger. Alim pushed himself as a fighter to his very limits, all the while his father began to teach him the family secret, the spells of snow.

As he developed, Alim had proven too radical for the White Knights to use, being taken in by the Temple Knights as a Skirmisher fighter.

The Initiate
Alim had passed his trials, holding his inner frustrations in as he went through tasks he could not admit he did, looking back. By age 18, Alim was wearing his golden trim, and began his duties as a Temple Knight within Asgarnia. Specifically, he was assigned with hunting down Draco Marcato's Children within Asgarnia, successfully shutting down some of the Zamorakian Cults, but one alone had a lasting impact.

The Leursci family had left Alim mentally scarred, the corpses of Goblins rising up to fight him during his encounter with the loyalists, a battle he could not win. Pulling out, Alim has uncovered an irrational fear of Bandosians, one he can't conquer, but one that is often met with a violent response.

Upon a final success against a Kinshra operative, Alim was given a promotion to Proselyte. And this, is where he met Cristoforo de Croce.
