Nizar is a warrior and poet and one of the companions in Warband.
Biography[]
His origin is unknown but he is a mercenary, warrior, and poet. Like the player, he travels around to seek glory. He also wooed and shared the bed of many women as well. One of his notable adventures was in Ergellon Castle. He was in arms with the Swadian force. The Swadians were defeated by the Rhodoks but he managed to escape to the Rhodok highlands where he was sheltered by a beautiful cowherd in a cave. She provided him food and told him the Rhodok legends. He left as soon as he recovered, although he wished to return to the girl but decided not to. He continued his adventure and met the player and teamed up to fight for glory.
Personality[]
Nizar is a boastful man seeking fame and glory, with an appreciation for art and beauty, particularly that of women.
Relationships[]
- Alayen - Nizar dislike Alayen for his uptight chivalry.
- Firentis - Firentis is angry at Nizar for throwing insults at the enemy which would 'anger the Gods'. He responded that his sinful action is better than Firentis who killed his own brother. This led to a fight and hostility between the 2 companions.
- Matheld - He is impressed by Matheld's Nordic songs during battle, he also appreciate the hidden femininity in her and wished to open her heart. Matheld, in turn, admires his talent for poetic craftwork, as he insults his opponents in the form of Old Calradic quatrains.
Gameplay[]
He is probably best used as a heavy mounted unit, as his courser will probably be the fastest horse on the field for the early stages of the game. With starting points in Ironflesh and Power Strike, it may be useful to use Nizar equipped with a sword and lance, as well as thrown weapons to give him a ranged option.
Nizar likes winning against heavy odds and dislikes fleeing battles, so he's a good option for most combat situations.
If elevated to lordship, Lord Nizar will recruit whatever troops are available from his fiefs, regardless of nationality. However, most lords will dislike this due to him being considered a commoner.
