Bakira was an Ashalan who became "ensouled" and member of the Council of Twelve.

Ensouled[]

Hojyn was one of the ensouled Ashalan, but knowing through various means he would be leaving his homeland, forfeited his soul to Bakira on the ruling Council of Twelve. [1]

Onaja[]

Bakira had a child Onaja, the first Ashalan-child born in centuries, [2] with her husband Sylmun. [3] Unknown to her parents, she was also, the conduit that Ajbar ibn Kaleel and the Jinn of Infinite Eyes had intentionally created to give the Jinn Lord Kaleel a way back into the mortal realm. [4]

Prophecy[]

They knew the fate of the child was bound to an ancient prophecy, the Awakening. [5] The couple became renegade and tried to flee from Medinaat al-Salaam before the sun set, but the Senpet guards kept the gates closed. [3]

Fleeing[]

They returned to the City of the Seventh Star where they met Dawuud, a Qabal sahir who would help them. He would magically disguise Onaja and her parents. [4] They were ambushed in the sewers and the jinn Gathriq killed Dawuud, [6] while Sylmun and Bakira were defeated by Ajbar, brother of Kaleel, the prince of the dark jinn. [7] Onaja was kidnapped. [4]

Disappeared[]

Sylmun and Bakira were found by Silver Tongue, a Dahabi. He caught them and passed to the Ghul Lords. Nobody knew more of them, because they were killed. The soul she had received and the knowledge it contained was lost forever. [8]
