Hashakh was born in the Underdark, where she was trained in the dark arts of necromancy by her family, but as is the case with many who seek out a life of adventure, she felt like she never fitted in with her kind.
Drawn to the surface world and the ways of the living, Hashakh set off on a journey to find a new home. As she was leaving, she met Khamsa Oudasi, a wealthy merchant who was visiting the Underdark on business. The two became fast friends, and Khamsa was fascinated by Hashakh’s knowledge of necromancy. He convinced her to travel with him and come to Aranthaes, where he could help her hone her skills and achieve her full potential. Hashakh agreed, and the two have been inseparable ever since.
While Khamsa handles the business side of things, Hashakh acts as his trusted advisor and confidante, using her powers to protect his interests and strike fear into his enemies. Hashakh is not well liked by Khamsa’s daughter Khalifeh who looks upon her with a deep suspicion as to her true motives.
