Generally neatly groomed and dressed well. Business casual meets laid back hipster. Appears rather thin.

Likes to think he's quiet and reflective, but talks too much because he thinks he's powerful enough to back it up. He has intense emotions that simmer just beneath the surface and frequently bubble over. Would like to not be a vampire, but has mostly embraced it. Likes to escape to nature when things get too tough; hence the move to Colorado. Is he a good guy? Who really knows. Very argumentative and obstinate. Gets on well with most vampires, but hates weres. Has a problem with "being disrespected." Likes to play the victim and not tell the whole truth.

Born on March 13, 1983. Originally from Alexandria, Egypt, Sayed's family immigrated to the United States when he was three years old. Both of his parents were medical professionals who moved to the charming village of Long Grove in Lake County, Illinois. There, Sayed grew up with the expectation that he would follow in his parents' footsteps. Unfortunately, life had other plans and Sayed found himself studying literature instead. At the age of 33, Sayed graduated from Northwestern University with a PhD in Early Modern and Renaissance Literature, and soon after, found a career in the Center for Renaissance Studies at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

His parents had grown to accept his life choices and Sayed found himself happy with the direction his life was taking him. Unfortunately, it all came to a screeching halt just nine months in to his new career. While walking to the L, he was pulled into an alleyway and attacked. He doesn't remember much about the attack, but when he awoke with a woman over him informing him that he was a vampire, he knew that life was never going to be the same.

After that, he quit his job at the Newberry, fell out of contact with his family and friends, and began teaching night classes at a nearby community college. Life never seemed right, and Sayed never felt as though he fit in with the Clutch of vampires in Chicago. After collecting some inheritance money from a deceased relative, Sayed left Chicago and the Clutch and moved to Ridgefield County, Colorado.

Initially, he made friends with a group of vampires who were planning to start their own clutch. When that fell by the wayside, and Sayed was attacked by Levka, he decided to join the Eventide District clutch. Since then, he's had several problems- including attacking a psychic who used her dream walking abilities to knock him out and call the police on him.

Was kicked out of Eventide Clutch in January 2021 after being knocked into deadsleep and delivered back to Alder Heights by Catrina Stewart.
