Kazim Shaid

"Blessed am I with enlightment, for the cause of the Death's Tongue is the one to true liberation and freedom from the corrupt imperialists. I will give my life to advance this cause, for I have also opened my eyes to the meaningless of the material world."

- Shaid

Kazim Shaid was a suicide bomber of the Death's Tongue Militia during the Cruentusian War, and was considered very fanatical to his faction's cause. Some attributed this to personal tragedy during the war; his uncle had been killed on Cul-Huq, his sister had been raped to death by Srav soldiers on Tahu and his father had been executed by Necasian troops at the same battle for discovering a book by Srav leader Jasef Yuiln in his possession. As a result, he joined the DTM, and announced his willingess to sacrifice his life, but only for a major operation. He got what he desired when he was instructed to destroy a United Coalition of Worlds shipyard above. He carried out his task, but did not completely destroy the shipyards. Kazim would gain moderate fame following this, and as a result 'shaider' would become slang for a fanatic or suicide bomber in some parts in the years afterwards.
