EARLY LIFE
When it comes to his personal life, past experiences, and preferences, Nasir tends to hold those details close to his chest as means to protect himself and others he does in fact hold dear.As for his business history, the bulk of his life was spent as an entertainer to a once travelling troupe that eventually settled in the great city of Ul’dah in hopes of establishing a permanent presence, as a small yet reputable performance hall, The Orchid. After brief years of success, the company unfortunately had hit financial troubles and eventually were bought out and transferred into the hands of a competitor who ensured the promise for a better life and double its profits.However, once contracts and debts were officially seized and rise the new management established, Nasir and those of the Orchid were introduced into what would be the dark ages of the performance hall. The once happy troupe and the ideals instilled were immediately rewritten and forced into new era of business models and renamed, The Obsidian Viper.From the smuggling and hiding illegal goods while participating in questionable trades under the veil of “formal arts and entertainment” were one of numerous tactics deployed. The image of honest work quickly dissolved and new veins, vices, and business dealings were introduced. Reliance on deception presented behind the lovely arts and charm of pretty faces became the expectation from all that served.Nasir's role within it ranged from staging distractions, to luring in targets and possible new clients/business partners to the Viper while his superiors took care of the rest behind the scenes. Due to these tasks assigned, some may accuse Nasir of being an informant who brokers his knowledge to the highest bidder or figure sent first to test waters before reinforcements from those he serves invade.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CURRENT LIFE
Present day, Nasir still quietly serves his superiors and holding onto fragments of his spirit that desires either be free of his contract or at best, witness the return of good management at the venues head. During off days at the club, Nasir has been able to seize small jobs - one as a server to another small establishment, The Arbors Keep and the other, teaching others the art and beauty of dance and social grace/etiquettes of high society for extra funds.While part-timing, he has been slowly able to earn an honest keep and enjoy the pleasant change of pace. There, the chances to mingle and earn an honest keep being a much needed return.Lately, as club hours and his superior at the Viper becomes more demanding of his time, new challenges are beginning to surface and posing difficult decisions of which employ to serve more. The battle against the age old saying, "No man can serve two masters" as of late has never been more true and the decision on which risk to take continue on.

Jaskan
FAVORITE person to annoy and give all the cheesy jokes to. When Jaskan isn't busy trying to kill him, he is rather fun to be around. Though his company often is along the silent side, it strangely balances Nasir's rather hectic and noisy lifestyle which is a trait the blonde never knew was so needed and finds solace in.One day through all the daggers dodged and persistence, Nasir hopes to witness this man crack a smile & daresay even... laugh (gasp).

Ezrahi (Younger Brother)
The two were separated during their early ages and dealt very different cards of fate. During the times they did share, Nasir adored his little brother and would have done anything for him.Now that more freedoms to roam and explore have increased, Nasir seeks to one day reconnect and rebuild their relationship.

Azrael (Frenemy at best)
His favorite elezen to love & resent at the same time. Since the first time they met the agenda to maintain a friendly rivalry is of upmost priority. Infront of Azrael, Nasir would go out his way to bother and strike an argument as a way to express his upmost appreciation for him. Although, when Azraels back is turned and Nasir would prove to be his #1 fan and speak highly of him.

Evissah aka "Citrine"
Childhood friend & most trusted dance partner during performances. She is one of the few surviving troupe members from their former company, the Orchid, because of this he cant help but be viciously protective of her in brotherly manner.
Nasir will NOT hesitate in striking anyone down that intend to bring her harm and attempt to bring back their kneecaps on her behalf.

Maive
Since the beginning of time and through most of Nasirs life Maive has always been there. Though completely day and night in their way of being (manners, outlook, etc.) both of them have a unique way to work well together and be the others support. Similar to Citrine, Nasir adores her and would do nearly anything to protect her and ensure her happiness.

A'raxia
Easily one of his best friends made from the era of the Sunless Swords. Upon holding a small tea party and girl talk over nails, Nasir quickly is learning that this lovely lady and he certainly have more in common than expected. Nasir respects her dearly and certainly views and sees her akin to a little sister. Another on his list that he would absolutely take out someones kneecaps on her behalf.

A'ven
Similar to A'raxia he views this gent like a sibling and enjoys his rather lax nature to just about everything - including situations when it seems chaos itself is running free. Due to the gents constant luck of being in trouble or picked on by others, Nasir can't help but taking his side and championing on his behalf to defend his honor.

Atropa
He who writes his check and head of the establishment. The relationship with him is mix of royally complicated and strained as they are silently at odds most of the time. As ways to get even and be petty as possible, Nasir goes out of his way to always swap his coffee for decaf whenever the chance is posed. Jests aside, Nasir serves his superior as his eyes and ears to any inquires that can bring massive profits and gains to the Obsidian Viper.
