Harith bin Abd al-Malik

"To be honest, I have no interest in being a Caliph. It better suits men of more interest." Harith bin ′Abd al-Malik is the second prince of the Qāsami dynasty. He is known as a useless recluse who has no reputation further than that since he keeps himself distant from the public and especially royal politics.

Appearance
Like his father whose mother was Basque, Harith is ¾ Basque which shows in his appearance, having paler skin, brown hair and the hazel eyes.

Unlike his father, however, he doesn't bother hiding it. Aside from that, however, Badriyah notes that he is "easy to look at," with sharp and cold though handsome features as well as being nearly as tall as her brother, who is quite near-giant.

Personality
Seemingly constantly annoyed by the people around him, Harith is cold, distant and somewhat rude. (or so he appears at first.)

As we learn more about Harith, he is also shown to have a humble and simple character, disliking doing things in a roundabout manner, preferring to deal with things personally and with pomp.

His dislikes frivolous, lavish and wasteful things, preferring modest accommodations and talk.

Trivia

 * Harith hates sweets to the point where he becomes nauseous when Badriyah forced him to eat a piece of halwa with her.
