Generally neatly groomed and dressed well.

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.

"Polite and awkward is something of his trademark." - Beauregard Bertrand

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. Life in the Eventide District Clutch didn't seem to help him stay out of trouble. While in the clutch, Sayed experienced many problems; including attacking a psychic who used her dream walking abilities to knock him out and call the police on him.

As problems continued, Sayed was eventually kicked out of Eventide Clutch in January 2021 after being knocked into deadsleep and delivered back to Alder Heights by Catrina Stewart. Angry and feeling lost, he wandered around Ridgefield until stumbling into Zaharia Cel-Tradat, who suggested he form his own clutch. With Zaharia as his confidant, second, and girlfriend, Sayed formed his own clutch, Dark Moon Society, in June 2021 along with Jaime Solaire and Matilda Carpenter. They were supposed to be nomadic and secretive in nature, but that didn't quite happen.

Around the same time he started the clutch, Sayed also opened the Starling Hills Public Library, which provided funds for the clutch as well as a safe place for them to gather. Unfortunately, the library attracted negative attention when it was discovered who was behind it. In July of 2021, Asha Rao and Levka Orlovsky caused some mayhem in the library, which put into clear focus to the clutch how disliked Sayed was in the were community. Police were called to the scene and Sayed returned to the library only to be arrested and jailed for two days at the Ridgefield County Jail due to a warrant being out for his arrest following the attack on the psychic from when he was in Eventide.

Life wasn't all bad as Sayed's relationship with Zaharia continued to grow. He proposed to her on her birthday and the two began to have small discussions about what their wedding could look like. Unfortunately, this would be short lived as Dark Moon fell apart in June 2022 following a horrific evening where Jaime had been attacked and nearly killed and Sayed, trying to save a life, turned but left behind Matilda's wife, Daniella Jiménez-Hendricks. That same night, Sayed was informed by Abraham Barlet that weres were planning another attack to kill him. Believing the threat to be true, he left the area, leaving behind everyone and everything.

Sayed, missing Zaharia, called her on Christmas. The talk didn't go the best, but he realized he needed to come back. In early January 2023, Sayed returned to the Ridgefield area. Unfortunately, the damage to his relationship with Zaharia had been too much for her to handle and they officially broke up. In late February, he sold the library.

In May 2024, Sayed was visiting the library when he bloodlusted and attacked Calliope, a werebear belonging to Cobalt Ridge Sleuth. Sayed was arrested for the attack and put back in jail again for six months. He was released November 2024. During his time in jail, he decided to be unturned. Shortly after release, he met Delphine, who had a psychic pact ready to unturn him. In March 2025, he was successfully unturned, becoming a resurrected human.

Amelia Hale - Amy was one of the first vampires Sayed met when he moved to Ridgefield County. They became friends and took part in a few shenanigans together. Amy and Sayed were planning to join a clutch that was starting up in the area, but after a whole lot of problems with shifter groups and vampire groups, it fell apart. Amy decided to leave the area, giving Sayed her silver dagger before she left. Sayed stayed. He doesn't know she's back in the area.

Beauregard Bertrand - Former dominus. Sayed repeatedly made mistakes and ignored warnings during his time in Eventide, until Beauregard finally had enough and kicked him out of the clutch. Sayed went through all the different stages of grief after this and still has complicated feelings towards Beauregard. He still likes and respects Beauregard, but still holds some anger towards him.

Raziyya al-Dimashqi - Raziyya was the one who set up the final meeting for Sayed to meet with Beauregard and join the Eventide District Clutch. He always saw her as the quiet, stoic warrior and has a deep respect for her because of that. He is unsure how she feels about him, but is not interested in being a bother to her. He still considers himself loyal to her.

Tikkani Calder - Tikkani was one of his friends in Eventide, and was also an occasional sparing partner. When Sayed was kicked out of the clutch, he told only Tikanni about it and asked if they could still be friends, which Tikanni said they could be. But Sayed didn't do a lot to keep in contact with him. He still thinks fondly of Tikanni and would be open to a friendship with him still, but is unsure how Tikanni would feel about that.

Safiya Farouk - Safiya was one of Sayed's first friends in the clutch. She helped him move into his apartment and let him stay in hers the first day so he didn't have to worry about the windows. They had a brief fling as friends with benefits, but also fell out of contact after Sayed had been kicked out of the clutch.

Levka Orlovsky - Levka was one of the "Big Three" as Sayed sometimes refers to them. He was one of the were leaders who discovered him out at Copper Ridge in Las Almas and preceded to make his life hell. To Sayed, Levka would absolutely kill him if given the chance. Levka has chased him to his house and attacked him and once showed up at the Starling Hills Library with Asha to attack him. Sayed is actually very scared of him and definitely avoids Graupel Canyon, where he knows Levka lives.

Asha Rao - Asha is another of the "Big Three" and is the one Sayed considers his arch-nemesis. Sayed hates her with a passion and would honestly like to kill her because he feels like, with her out of his life, his life would be a lot easier. He blames her for everything that's gone wrong in his life since meeting her.

Dakila Tomas - Sayed doesn't quite know how he feels about Dakila. They have a long history, and he believes that Dakila made up lies about him in an effort to get him jailed longer the first time he was in jail. However, since then, he's become a little more ambivalent towards him. He still doesn't like Dakila much, but doesn't outwardly hate him either.

Catrina Stewart - For a long time, Sayed really hated Catrina. He thought that deadsleeping him when he was looking for a book at the Collection (at the time unknown to him as the Rhiannon Court HQ) was completely unnecessary and dramatic. He also never wanted to have anything to do with her after the formation of Dark Moon Society. Since then, he understands why she's done what she's done, and while there's still bitterness in knowing he took Matilda away from him, is actually glad that Matilda is with her.

Zaharia Cel-Tradat - Zara is Sayed's former fiancee. They met soon after he'd been kicked out of Eventide and she put it into his mind that he should start his own clutch. They've had a lot of ups and downs and mostly ended on a down after he left for months without telling her where he was. They've seemingly flirted with the idea of reconciliation, mostly on Sayed's side, but after his decision to be unturned, he's been avoiding her.

Jaime Solaire - Jaime is one of Sayed's former clutchmates from Dark Moon Society. He was also the Praetor and Legati. Jaime left the group suddenly when Matilda had left after Sayed and Zara had saved him from dying and worked hard to heal him. While Jaime and Sayed were on decent terms before Jaime left permanently, Sayed still views his departure from Dark Moon as the biggest betrayal he's ever experienced.
