[b]Bio:[/b] Khorshid Nassir os-Saltaneh is the fifth child of twelve born into the line of the Shah of the Persian Empire. As a child, Khorshid suffered from a debilitating heart condition that left him bed-ridden for most of his formative years. When he wasn't resting, he was often seen studying, spending hours researching and reading about the most recent scientific endeavor. Eventually, medical advancements and additional treatments allowed Khorshid to recover enough to begin living a relatively normal life. He must take pills twice a day to maintain his health, otherwise he could go into cardiac arrest.

As a teenager, Khorshid spent less time researching scientific discovery and focused instead on the world around him. He became aware of the political state of the Persian Empire and wished to end the attempts of imperialism by Western nations. Khorshid heavily involved himself in the business of the Persian military, and eventually, he joined the ranks as an officer at the age of eighteen. However, his years as a soldier were tumultuous at best. Eventually, Khorshid retired from the military and returned to academia in England. 

While at University, he returned to his passions and began to study Astronomy. Studying became a tool of escapism as the conditions at home continued to escalate. In order to protect himself, Khorshid took on the name Kent Mirza and became somewhat of a recluse for a time being. Not long after this, Khorshid's interests began to shift, his focus turning more to the matter of sustainable energy and alchemy. He kept these interests private, and maintained his persona as an Astronomy professor by day. To this day he continues as a researcher, keeping any thoughts of revolution to himself.
