Benyamin Haadi

Benyamin Haadi is a character of We Hunt the Flame.

Appearance
"...he was utterly beautiful, with sculpted features and flawless golden skin accented by an artistic beard. The kohl surrounding his umber eyes was pristine, and the two golden rings piercing the top of his right ear winked."

"...his tattoo, the bronzed ink shimmering in the early light. It was Safaitic, she [Zafira] realized. A simple word of two letters, the curvature of the ha framing his eye while the qaf rounded off smoothly, its two i'jam like birds in flight. Haqq. Old tongue for "truth"."

Haqq Tattoo Sentiment
Each of the safin in Benyamin's circle have a similar tattoo, a word for what they value most. For him, it is truth (haqq in Old Tongue) followed closely by trust -- separate vines of value entwined at the root.

Personality
Benyamin is the wisest of his friends and he makes sure that they know it. He is vain, but rightfully so, and the mirror is his best friend - but he owns up to his mistakes. Benyamin is also the mother of his group and always has everything ready someone could need.

He comes off as ominous and has a fondness for zumras (Old Tongue for 'gang').
