Binyamin bin Ghurayb

"There are some things which people can't except, even if they do understand them."

Binyamin bin Ghurayb was the previous head of the Tamān Clan during the 10th century. He was the father of Sukayah, and thus Maryam's great-grandfather.

Appearance
Binyamin was noted to have been rather good-looking, his daughter having taken from his handsomeness. He had long, black hair which he would laugh in remembrance at how his own father hated it.

He normally wore simple robes and a turban if he went out.

Personality
Binyamin was noted to although have been a man of few words, was kind and loved children.

He was remembered at having been a bit eccentric, however, due to his tremendous loathing at having an unkempt or unclean appearance, going to great lengths to stay "presentable."

He was highly respected amongst both humans and Jinn and dreamed of a day when the two races of earth could come to an understanding.

While he was incredibly soft-hearted and gentle, he would not tolerate any breakage of the Hidden Laws, whomever was the culprit.
