Born the first son of Larek and Cirila Obsidian, Farhad has grown with the caravan. The strapping young lad had many responsibilities but still found time to develop his own skills with the female gender.
A charming, charismatic man like his father, Farhad has had his share of lovers. Caravan life made it hard to stay with any particular female, and that suited him well. Recently, however, he managed to find a woman who stole his heart.
While visiting his sisters Willow and Rowaen in Xavier Weyr, Farhad met one of Row's fellow candidates, a woman from Telgar Hold named Kharis. Both seducing and being seduced by her charms, he ended up with her that evening
and the next morning. It was a month later when Willow fetched him to speak to Kharis, who had Impressed Gold Shiovath during the interval, for she was pregnant. Totally smitten and in love, he embraced her pregnancy and vowed to be by her side. He still hasn't worked out the details,
but he's hoping that he can somehow make things work between them. Kharis disappeared during her pregnancy along with Shiovath and has not been found since. He's been in several relationships since, but nothing serious, despite an attempt with ww Aiella of Igen Weyr

- Basic History:
Born the second daughter in the Obsidian Caravan, she grew up quite differently than her older sister Willow. Willow was always the more
feminine and delicate of the two, while Lis was the tomboy. After Willow left for the Harper Hall, this was especially true. Rowaen was adopted when she was only a babe, and the two
were inseparable throughout childhood. She endured the constant teasing of her brothers, though in a fight, they backed her right away. She was constantly into trouble with her siblings, and
they were all quite a pain. As she matured, she found she had an affinity for scouting, prolly after Turns of playing hide-and-seek with the other children. She apprenticed to the Sentries, a division
of the Armscraft, and specialized in Scouting. She had to spend two Turns away from the Caravan to learn basic skills, but she spent the rest of her apprenticeship studying under the
Caravan's current Scouts. Currently a journeyman, she fulfills her duties to the Caravan and Hall. Whenever she is at the Trader Hall, she spends part of her free time doing scouting for them.
She also spends a mandatory two sevendays a Turn under their training and running missions for them. She is one of the best desert scouts alive and is reknown for her abilities, earning herself the knickname "the Desert Rose" for her beauty and skills.
