Overview[]
Nizar was a dark-skinned Irathient and a member of the Spirit Riders. He followed Sukar to an Arkfall in the Badlands where the group ran afoul of Joshua Nolan and Irisa Nyira. After a short fight, the two groups parted company. The Spirit Riders then journeyed to the city-state of Defiance where they began starting trouble with local business owners. By this point, Joshua Nolan was now the Chief Lawkeeper of Defiance.
During the Irathient plague, Nizar's brother Rathus were placed into a quarantine. A riot broke out and he was killed by one of the McCawley miners named Gail. Nizar captured Joshua Nolan and Connor Lang to extort the cure for the plague from them. Datak Tarr, seeking to secure a win in the upcoming mayoral election by securing the cure himself, had his henchman Raiga Suhon shoot Nizar in the head. [2]
