Next on the agenda is Shaheen, a private military specialist who has made it his mission to fight the tyranny of G Corp, holding them responsible for the death of his best friend, Salim. Skilled in close quarters combat, the “Desert Falcon” is driven by the words of Salim, who told him, “You should use such skills to become a shield for those in need.” After Salim’s death, his sister, Zarif, put Shaheen on a different path, handing him the treasured blade of her dead brother and telling him, “I want you to finish what my brother could not.”
