Requiem (Rashid/John Lucius Jenkins)
A Posthuman whose powers only manifested after reverting to Islam, Requiem has set himself on a journey of constant repentance, always fearing that his past sins could come back to haunt him.
Requiem is a man of few words. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and even then, his words are direct and concise. This is due to his practice of constantly performing zikr (remembrance of Allah) – a practice he easily adopted after reverting to Islam, as he was also a devout Catholic.
Requiem usually appears calm and collected. This is a side effect of his religious practices and his consistency in emulating the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). This calm and collected exterior is also present when he is in the midst of battle, making him appear as if he has every fight under control.
However, there are still things that are able to rattle him – mention of his late wife and late daughter, and his hometown of Salem.
Requiem also consciously makes an effort not to lose control of himself for fear of transgressing as he once did.
