==Biography==
Not much is known of Hakim as most of what is told has only been told by the Nightmare of Safiyah. What is known is that Hakim was born to Zavala and Safiyah during the Dark Age. He was a brave young boy who wanted to follow in his father's footsteps of bravery and selflessness. He was killed by the Fallen later in his life.
During the Dark Age, when Zavala was a member of the [[Iron Lords]], he had fallen in love with a woman named [[Safiyah]], a wandering chirurgeon that stayed with their camp. One day, when the two were searching a caravan attacked by the Fallen for survivors, they heard an infant's cry. They found the baby clutched in the hands of a now dead man, so tightly Safiyah had to break the corpse's fingers to free it. They brought the baby back to the Iron Lord's camp, where they decided to name him Hakim.

Hakim was the son of Commander Zavala and his lover Safiyah. He was born during the Dark Age and was killed by the Fallen.

Biography

During the Dark Age, when Zavala was a member of the Iron Lords, he had fallen in love with a woman named Safiyah, a wandering chirurgeon that stayed with their camp. One day, when the two were searching a caravan attacked by the Fallen for survivors, they heard an infant's cry. They found the baby clutched in the hands of a now dead man, so tightly Safiyah had to break the corpse's fingers to free it. They brought the baby back to the Iron Lord's camp, where they decided to name him Hakim. Months later, the family would leave the camp to go live in the village of Safiyah's sister Amani.[1]

As the years passed, the three would continue living as a family, while Zavala taught Hakim how to fight, and Safiyah's continued her chirurgic and motherly duties. When the boy was fifteen, Zavala wanted to teach him how to take a life, as it would be needed for when the Fallen would attack, by having Hakim attack him with a knife. Safiyah had an argument with her husband and son over this, though she knew it would be something he'd need to learn eventually.[2]

When Hakim was seventeen, the Fallen suddenly attacked the village. Zavala immediately rushed to fight them, while Safiyah prepared to intervene on the wounded. Hakim wanted to take part in the defense, but his mother asked him to stay home, safe, as she left. Hakim, however, joined the battle anyway, and was eventually confronted by the leader of the raid, Kethiks, the Yet-Proven. The young man fought valiantly, but was no match for the Captain, who unbalanced him with a strike and then impaled him on his Arc Spear. Kethiks would die moments later by Zavala's hand, but Hakim's wounds were too severe, and he died in his mother's arms soon after.[3] He was later buried in the village's graveyard.[4]
