Very interesting. Was actually considering creating Khalid, but then I read the IC and noticed he was already made. I guess all Quraysh characters are Dinh's to control xP
Just a note though, head-cutting was never a trend of the Rashidun Caliphate, that only became a thing later on. Desecrating the bodies of the dead in general was something hugely discouraged by the Prophet and his successors (his own uncle had been mutilated in death by the Quraysh after all.)

I can't think of a character to create right now, though I am interested, so I hope you wouldn't mind me sticking around in the OOC and reading the IC xP

Whether or not decapitation was prohibited by Mohammad it wasn't something that Khalid was above doing if to hit-home the message behind his being there or to enforce the authority of his commander-ship in that area. Khalid is famously known in his invasion of Persia to have had all his captives of war beheaded over his frustrations, turning the river Khaseef into one of blood when he opened the dams.

Khalid's a brilliantly brutal character. He may be a devout Muslim, but not necessarily moral in his tenacity. I've compared him to Precipice of War's Hassan: a man brilliantly transfixed on the conduct of war and to magnify the strengths of his relatively weak armies to equal or be greater than the others.
