History
Hassan left home at a young age to become a sailor. He started out as a deck hand helping out on various merchant ships. Eventually, he joined the crew of The East, run by Qismat and Afra Naji, Co-captains that saw Hassan's dedication and skill.
It didn't take long for Hassan to work his way from deckhand to quartermaster. He became close friends with the captains. Hassan was even there for their when their first son was born at sea, cementing himself as part of the family.
He was very close with the captains and their family. When the captains perished of an illness at sea, Hassan was crushed but kept a brave face for the crew. He took over as captain just long enough to return the ship to its home port of Ayfulin, Ayksia.
Once the ship returned, Hassan discovered the newly orphaned Naji brothers (Asu and Qassim) had also lost their guardian days before from a plague that had just started sweeping through the town.
Taking over as the kids' guardian, Hassan thought long and hard about who should take over the ship and what to do with Qassim, who was too young to care for himself, but also hated being out on the ship.
Hassan encouraged Asu to become captain, stating that the local orphanage would take good care of Qassim. Asu didn't take much convincing, and as soon as the ports were reopened after the plague, Asu and Hassan left Qassim at the orphanage and headed out.
