Masheer “Mash” Afridi

Masheer "Mash" Afridi is the heir to the Afridi Mafia and the moonlighting forger for The Coyote thieves crew. A mob don's son who desires to leave the family business and pursue film, Mash is also one of the younger recruits for The Coyote. Masheer got tangled up in one of Laer Ballard's scams and ended up ingratiating himself to the sharp-witted con-man with his talent for forgery. A wizard with Solid-Light technology, he has taken to crafting documentation and props the Coyote needs for their cons when he isn’t crafting characters for his animations.

Meanwhile, Masheer’s father has been grooming him for leadership to little success, and plans to marry him off to the daughter of one of Duvoch’s Council of Nine in order to establish power. Mash would much prefer the life the Coyote provides, and it certainly doesn’t steer him away that the other new recruit, Carrie, has Mash’s heart pounding a mile a minute.

Appearance
Masheer is a gangly young man with perpetually tired eyes and a sincere smile. Coupled with prim glasses and a flop of wild, unmanaged hair, he looks welcome at any pen-and-paper gaming table. Often taking his cues from his friends in the Coyote, Masheer tries to emulate his peers but most notably has adopted the basics of Jun Sang's style. Whether intentional or not, Masheer’s puffy coat gives him an appearance of a geeky, less charismatic version of Jun, the member of the group that Carrie has grown closest to. Underneath it all Mash still values his hobbies, and a cadre of film-buff shirts and prop-replica accessories show his true self even when he has to put on airs for his father.
