Abdul Hossain, Senator of the Greater Frenzy for the District of Flaventia-III (Lee's Summit, Myrtilis, Mardukhaven, Vice City) since 12.III.1679 AN and for Tas Neemia since 22.VIII.1685 AN.
Born to the Hossani family of diaspora-Babkhan merchants, Abdul was the second son in a family of seven children (three boys, four daughters) born to Majid and Farah Hossein. Initially intended to be apprenticed to the Honourable Company, Abdul was instead obliged to attend to the family business, being traders specialising in black pepper, as well as other spices and herbs, after the loss of his elder brother, Majid Hasan Hossain, during a Bassarid pirate attack on a SATCo convoy in the final months of the War of Lost Brothers. Returned from the ESB School at Teldrin in time for his fifteenth birthday, Abdul learned the profession under the tutelage of his father until the latter's death in 1670 AN from undiagnosed liver cancer elevated him to control of the firm.
Education
Career
Like many who had suffered from, or lost loved ones to, the depredations of the Bassarids Abdul was drawn towards the militaristic and Pro-Raspur Pact policies of the Nationalist and Humanist Party. The N&H, owing to their powerbase in Alalehzamin enjoyed historically warm relations with the Babkhan diaspora community, and this was as true in Natopia as anywhere else.
Abdul paid for the commission and crewing of an armed trawler to serve as a privateer during the Verionian–Raspur War (1680-1683), placing a mortgage on his family compound and business in order to do so.
