Biography of Ishaq

“You don’t command the Crimson Corridor… unless its ghosts answer to you.”

Ishaq was once a corsair, feared across the Barbary coasts, a man whose face looked like broken glass reflecting firelight—a mosaic of violence and sorrow. In the early 1800s, he became the second-in-command to Nicholas Graves, the architect of the Crimson Corridor and ruthless heir of the Ensharra dominion in North Africa.

Where Nicholas was strategy and spectacle, Ishaq was the blade.
He moved through Marrakesh alleyways and Saharan fortresses like a phantom—silent, efficient, brutal. His mere presence was a deterrent. His survival through ambushes and betrayals made him a myth even before his supposed death.

But that’s the thing—no one can agree on how he died.
Some say he fell protecting Nicholas in Ethiopia in 1840.
Others claim he vanished into the dunes, whispering of “unfinished blood.”
Others still believe he never died at all.

By 2025, he has become a ghost story“The Ghost of the Crimson Corridor.” Sightings of a man with a shattered face and silver eyes have been reported in Djibouti, Casablanca, and even under the streets of Rome. Ensharra agents debate whether these sightings are hallucinations, misdirection… or truth.

Nicholas Graves never confirms or denies the rumors.
Some believe Nicholas keeps the myth of Ishaq alive as a weapon of fear.
Others believe he is his insurance policy—a secret soldier in eternal service.

But for those who fought against Nicholas in the 1800s, the name Ishaq still stings like an old wound. They whisper it during thunder.
And they never walk the Crimson Corridor alone.
