Background: Bey Abdu'l Fadl Behnam, elderly member of the order of the Safavids and learned Shīʿia of the Qizilbash, has left his prime. Decades ago he was a mildly relevant figure in the politics or Persia, advisor of some learned men that participated of the creation of the Safavid Empire, but now, nearing a century of age, he has been forced to total retirement.
Almost with a foot in the tomb, the very old noble has decided to see the world, and more specifically Christendom, for many tales were told of the Men of the Book of the west, and he had already seen many places to the south and east before. Surprisingly healthy and with a working mind, he is almost racing to do everything he can before his days catch up to him. Inshallah.
For clarification, the Qizilbash were an Azerbaijani religious political movement with disproportionate membership in the order of the Safavids (that created the Safavid empire in Persia after 1501), a religious group similar to monks that became more militantly active during the end of the 15th century, both Shia muslim groups. This, while interestingly sounding names, are no special positions, and no different than, for a christian equivalent, being a militant utraquist hussite.
Also, Bey is a nobility title of variable meaning in muslim nations, with a general equivalency to Sir or Lord in christian nations.
