History
- The following service record is considered to be classified information and is only to be pulled in certain circumstances.
- Name: Malik Mjara
- Serial Number: 675408-F890A
- Province of Birth: Dalmasca
- Rank Held: Optio, Frumentarius
- Current Status: Active
- Service Record: Pressed into service following the subjugation of Dalmasca. Optio Malik was willful and defiant in the early years of her citizenship. After accepting her place within the empire, Optio Malik entered military service as a legionary of IVth Legion. Optio Malik served her legion with distinction for fifteen years. She was promoted to Optio for her unwavering dedication and service to the Empire. Optio Malik was recommended to her current post by her commanding officer. Citing her sharp wit and cleverness would be a perfect asset to the Frumentarius. This recommendation was taken under consideration before it was ultimately decided that Optio Malik would continue to serve the Empire as an intelligence operative. Optio Malik took to her new post quite well and she has done some of her best work for the Empire. Her duties include the hunting and recapture of escaped slaves and deserters as well as intelligence gathering in enemy territory. As of this year, Optio Malik has served the Empire faithfully for thirty nine years and is a decorated veteran.
- Note from the Primus Frumentarius: While Optio Malik is one of my more seasoned operatives, it seems the freedom and lack of oversight her post allows her has caused Optio Malik to fail to report in for months at a time. This seems happens quite frequently as of late and so I have decided that she be shadowed when operating in foreign territories. Her loyalties have not been called into question as of yet, but this precaution must still be taken just in case the seeds of treachery take root in Optio Malik.
Personality
Loyal, intelligent and animated, these are the best descriptions that people who know Mjara give her. She is best known for her bubbly personality, always quick to laugh and joke with people and she has the tendency to become very loud and animated when engaged in conversation. However, Mjara can also be a very secretive person, she rarely opens up about herself when engaged in small talk. If asked to talk about herself, She is always quick to turn the discussion away from herself and if pressed further, Mjara always seems to lose interest and disengages entirely. Outside of social situations, Mjara can be found with her nose in a book or keeping her body fit. If these activities can be done with friends, she is always eager to accommodate.
