Salim Othman

Salim is a veteran soldier with a lot of experience, as proven by his close position to Dar. At the same time, like Nick, he has a rather soft nature. Salim is a kindhearted pacifist and believes that most people are inherently good. He is described as a reluctant soldier, which is clearly seen when Dar forces Salim into action and possible disagreements between the two due to the latter's refusal to obey orders. Despite being sworn enemies with the Americans, Salim is not aggressive towards them and even shows a willingness to cooperate with them against the vampires, which shows that he is practical. Salim's distinctive trait is his stubbornness and determination. He intends to escape the underground alive at all costs and return home to his son Zain, who serves as him motivation. In pursuit of this goal, Salim exhibits astonishing survival abilities, furiously fighting. Salim had a good education despite the poor condition of Iraq. As an adult, Salim was forcibly drafted by the Iraqi government and has served many years in the Iraqi Ground Forces, eventually becoming a lieutenant and being under the orders of Dar. During this time, he married and had a son named Zain. Eventually, his wife left him. Since then, Salim's priority is for Zain to live a happy life. He was ecstatic when he learned Zain would be admitted to a university in London, England. However, Salim is disappointed by Zain’s tendency to steal.
