History[]
At the age of 10, he was conscripted into the Kaji'sharaj, along with Ahmann Jardir. Despite being polar opposites, the two quickly struck up a friendship. However during training he fell from a wall of the maze and was cast out of Hannu pash as a crippled khaffit. He used a cane to help him walk ever after.
As a khaffit, first he was despised by Jardir. He became friends with Arlen and through him Arlen could ask Ahmann to fight in the Labyrinth against the alagais. After introducing Arlen to Jardir, Jardir orders Abban to teach him the Thesan language. Simultaneously, he teaches Arlen the Krasian language.
Between Arlen and Abban, a deep friendship was formed. Because of that, Arlen shows Abban the Spear of Kaji first.
After Jardir declared himself the Shar'Dama Ka, he announced Abban to be his Secretary. Therefore Abban was in charge of the financials of Krasia. He calculates the costs of the Sharak Sun and advises Jardir in his non-combat strategies. Often Jardir changes his plans because of an advice from Abban.
Abban grows to one of the most powerful people in Krasia. He starts his own little army of kha'sharum, which was 120 of well-trained Sharum, who are former khaffit. He binds Qeran to himself and lets him do the training of his kha'sharum.
After Hasik rapes one of his daughters, Abban orders his sharum to castrate him. Therefore, Hasik hates him to the bottom of his heart and tries to use every opportunity to kill Abban. But because Abban ws under the protection of Jardir, Hasik cannot move against him.
After Jardir disappeared, Abban was still one of the most powerful people and stood under the protection of the Damajah. She commanded Abban to follow Jayan, who was about to conquer Lakton, to give him advice. Abban advised Jayan to conquer Angiers, so he could earn glory, but the attack failed and thousands of Sharum died. Hasik sniffed his chance, killed Jayan and one of Abban's dearest kha'sharum, Earless, and Fahki. Being alone with Abban, Hasik did not kill him. He intended to get his full revenge.
After being captured by Hasik, Abban was gelded and the bones in his right leg broken, one per day. After two weeks, they found a group of Krasian deserters from the Bajin tribe, and Hasik creates Eunuch tribe. Abban was then forced to serve him as quartermaster of his army.
