| A secular Iranian archaeologist, Dr. Raza Kattuah disagreed with many of his post-revolutionary government’s policies and actions. He eventually became an agent for the Americans, whom he disliked almost as much, using the codename Rustam . When one of his colleagues was imprisoned for political reasons, he accompanied American agent Rick Flag Jr. in rescuing him. | ||||
| On an investigation of some ruins, he recovered a pommel which he learned was from somewhere called Skartaris. When his family was killed by an American drone, the enraged Kattuah found the pommel transformed into a flaming scimitar in his hand, responding to the change inside him. | ||||
| Becoming an enemy of America, he ended up leading the Jihad. This was a meta-human terrorist squad covertly funded and organized by President Marlo of Qurac, based in the Jottunheim fortress. | ||||
