What historical figure (if any) is Hassani based on?
Hassan-i Sabbā, the founder of the Order of Assassins. Since he’s head of the African Senate, which governs the Middle East as well as Africa, I thought it only fair to use someone with ties to both regions. Hassani was born in Iran and ended up in Cairo, so he fit. Plus, he and the order he founded have always interested me.

question for KC?


If Senators are challenged, they're allowed to pick someone to duel in their place, so I suppose they don't need to be off-the-chart powerful if they can call on someone to fight for them. So, for instance, if you had excellent mental skills like Mircea, or powerful connections or perhaps some amazing first-level super power, a Consul might want you on his/her Senate, even if you weren't the most powerful master. If you were challenged, the Consul could appoint someone like LC to fight for you, because you were useful in other ways and they'd have your back. So I guess sheer raw power isn't the be all and end all that I assumed it might be.
