Mu'awiyah bin Abd al-Malik

"I do not have to compete for the throne. It’s already mine." Mu'awiyah bin 'Abd al-Malik is the First Prince and Heir to Abd-al-Malik III. Not only is he the Crown Prince, but is very well versed in numerous sciences and has a personal library of 30,000 books. His “inner circle” is also comprised of the mathematician Lubna of Córdoba, and the founding father of surgery, Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi.

Appearance
Though he has a noble aura and appearance, he has somewhat of a suffocating air to be around with the pressure he gives off. He has cunning eyes that make Badriyah think of a fox the first time she sees him and a perpetual smile that stays in place, even when he speaks unsettlingly.

Personality
Mu'awiyah is a very composed individual, reacting calmly even in dangerous or extreme situations. He retains this trait even when in the midst of a battle. However, because of his nature, others often tend to be intimidated by him. Additionally, he is quite intelligent and knowledgeable of the people or things around him.

Although he boasts a rather formidable intelligence that can sometimes scare people, he is social and has some sort of quality that draws others to him. He is always surrounded and respected by many people and is never bashful of it.

His facade shows a very easy-going, playful, and calm man. No hints of viciousness can be sensed in his kind smile, to the point one would not believe he has a willingness to kill at the drop of a hat, so long as it means protecting his family and kingdom.
