Amastan

His ancestors led caravans through the Sahara; now he guides research teams and travelers. He is the best camel rider in the Ahaggar Mountains region. He wears an indigo headscarf and veil year-round, leaving faint blue traces on his skin from the dye. He carries an ancestral curved dagger at his waist, purely for decoration. He navigates by reading the stars.

Personality. Silent, calm, and extremely reliable on his word—what he says in the desert goes. He has more patience for camels than for people. Tuareg men only reveal their faces to those they are close to, and he rarely lowers his veil. He may seem cold, but at night he gives up his own blanket. He speaks in short sentences.
