OOC: Most of this is SIC, such as his secret military operations and such, but everything else is open IC.

IC:
Alexander Zahir Muhammad Stowes was born to an Afghan woman and a Muslim-American in Fezyabad, Afghanistan in 1936. They moved from place to place, living in America, Europe, and several Arabian and Persian nations until they returned to Afghanistan in 1942 where they stayed. In 1945, at the age of 9, Stowe's mother died, followed by his father later that same year. Stowes was raised by his uncle, who was an Afghan military general. in 1954, Stowes left Afghanistan to get his degree in dance and engineering. He returned in 1958 and joined the Afghan military, where he quickly grew in rank.

Stowes was surprised at the actual quality of the Afghan military. They were highly efficient and deadly. He was often sent on missions overseas by both the Russians and the United States in Asia, Africa, and South America where Stowes learned many tactics for stealth fighting. A British General captured Stowes in Sri Lanka in 1964 when he was 28 and took a liking to Stowes. He was returned to his Uncle's command four years later, knowing much more about battlefield history and tactics than ever before. Stowes quickly elevated to General and was sent to command militiant forces overseas, where he gained most of his experience.

In 1978, Stowes returned in time for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan where he fought alongside militias and the military and was able to keep his hometown and the surrounding area almsot comnpletely untouched by the Soviets. He operated against the Soviets alongside Osama Bin Laden, which ultimately drove out the Soviets.

Stowes opposed Bin Laden's tightening grip on Afghanistan, however and a short war between Stowes and Bin Laden erupted. His generic men supported Bin Laden more than Stowes, however, and the fact he was half American didn't help. Stowes willingly left Afghanistan with his more loyal troops and became a freelance mercenary company, where they served in many, many notions until they migrated to Pananab in 1991, where they began to set up as the government. They gained a strong foothold in 1993.

Stowes fought against Pudite forces in 2004-2005 until he was able to severely weaken their hold on Pananab by late 2005 where he brought the battle to the diplomacy table. These talks are still in progress.
