Sahmad

"History will tell you that I am a monster, a slaver, someone who made a living capturing my fellow Agori and selling them to the Skrall. I'd be a fool to lie and pretend I did not do those things, of course I did. But there is more to the story than just that, and there is one thing you always need to remember about history: The winners write all the books."

- Sahmad, Sahmad's Tale

Sahmad was an Agori of the Iron Tribe which was mainly wiped out by a mysterious plague.

History
Sahmad was originally part of the Iron Tribe, until a mysterious disease killed most of the tribe. The other tribes feared that the plague might spread to them, as so abandoned any contact with the member of the tribe. Sahmad, along with only few others, seemed to be immune to the plague, making the other members of the tribe try to find out why. In the end, these few survivors had to hide from everyone else. Telluris suggested that they could re-color their armour with minerals, and hope that the other tribes didn't recognize them as members of the Iron Tribe. Of course, it didn't work. After some time, the surviving members of the tribe decided to split up, and Sahmad travelled south.

After the Shattering, Sahmad ended up on Bara Magna. At some point, he acquired a Baranus V7. He wanted revenge on the other Agori, and, when possible, captured them and sold them to the Rock Tribe. Sometimes, he offered the tribes from who he had kidnapped Agori the opportunity to get the Agori back, if they challenged him in an arena fight.

While he was travelling through the desert he found Telluris who was furious that his Skopio XV-1 was damaged. After some convincing Telluris agreed to help Sahmad find the source of the dreaming plague. While travelling through the desert on his Baranus they encountered Metus who explained could not dream. Sahmad realized that the plague was starting again but before he could find the source a tentacle dragged him, Telluris and Metus underground.

750 years later, at least in an illusion, Sahmad woke up in a healing chamber on Bota Magna. A female water tribe Agori arrived and told him that Telluris and Metus were long dead and there was a new Atero. Sahmad soon got up to find answers. He went to a market place to see Toa and Glatorian working together. After nearly being subdued by Ackar, he found an Agori from his tribe, and it was the woman that he loved. She aimed a Thornax Launcher at his head and fired. He then escaped from this illusion and wound back up on the Bota Magna healing chamber, with an unknown force threatening him.

Weapons and tools
Sahmad carried a whip, mainly to keep the Spikit in order, and a blade with a Thornax launcher attached to it.

Quotes
"Much has changed in recent days. The Skrall have been driven from Roxtus, and two giant men made of metal were battling in the sky for reasons I cannot imagine. I have no doubt the end of the world is upon us. But before that happens, I have a task I want to perform. Somewhere, someone knows that would happen to my people. They know if the plague was accident or attack, error or experiment. Before Bara Magna crumbles to dust, I am going to find those answers. And if someone caused this fate to befall my tribe, then I hope somewhere they are dreaming of me, and waking up screaming..."

"Telluris took a different path. He started roaming the desert in a war machine based off the Skopio, acting like crushing a caravan or two would somehow make a difference. I made other plans."
