Aalim Bey Al Dey - 33/72° M.R.D.F
"I had fought many battles, winning some and loosing some and, somehow always realizing that the war was not to be won on this level. There had to be a decisive encounter, elevated and sublime, yet physical and mundane, a warrior's engagement in which every advance and retreat was telling. By the grace of the Creator, I was taken to that battlefield. Ultimately outmatched and overwhelmed by familiar forces, a thousand foes too many, I succumbed to death's beckoning. And so, a dead man was I, content that the ground on which I lie demised 
and had failed to defend would swiftly swallow me to become my grave. It was then, that the Supreme Navigator of the Universe commanded me to rise and return to battle. Armed with only a sword and glove; each rendered to me from His hand, I returned to the battle a Ghost Warrior for the Creator."
