== Description ==
Omeed has a slightly scruffy beard but is otherwise clean-cut. He has dark jade eyes, coal black hair and olive skin. He is of medium height and weight, and more wiry than muscular.
== Background ==
Omeed is a hermetic mage of Persian descent who learned his skills at a prestigious European university... until he ran out of funds, that is. He longs to be an alchemist and magician who can heal the world through his magic, but right now, he needs money to fund his education and help pay off the massive debts he has already incurred. He signed on with the company as a magic specialist, and while he's seen a bit of combat experience, he is not terribly combat-hardened. His plan is to earn money fightning and killing while he's young enough to do it, and return to a life of peace and study when he's older.
He has tried to continue his alchemical and magical studies in his down-time but with little success. A particularly disastrous experiment that attempted to synthesize a form of the metaphysical "philosopher's stone" backfired, leaving Omeed with an irritating allergy to gold and the eternal ire of the earth spirits he tried to use to fuel the experiments. He has grown much more cautious since then, and prides himself on his ability to protect his squadmates from magical threats. Both Omeed and his superiors believe he is not leadership material, tending to freeze up when asked to make tactical decisions, but he follows orders well and is thoroughly loyal to the company.
== Concept ==
Support combat mage. He can heal in a pinch, blast enemies with Stun Bolt and Toxic Wave, and watch your back with Physical Barrier. By no means a heavy hitter, but should be useful to counter any magical threats the squad encounters.
His contacts are Professor Chang, a professor at his former university who was very sad to see such a talented student go, and Yvgeny the Stout, a troll and talismonger who sneaks virgin telesma out of Siberia. His Power Focus is a hammered disc of iron inscribed with text from the Emerald Tablet, while his Sustaining Health Focus is a hand-carved stone statuette of Hermes Trismegistus.
He refers to/interprets spirits as various types of djinn, with the exception of spirits of man, which he refers to as "homunculus."
