Harendra "Haren” Malik

Harendra Malik is a refugee, grandfather, and owner of the Skeleton Closet Bar and Casino. He is an ex-pat who desires to raise his granddaughter Lajilla safely in Duvoch, since the Eurasia Combine has set to take over India and most of the Middle East in recent years. Until he can raise money for safe passage, Harendra has left Lajilla in the care of one of his former biker gang, who is lying low in Dubai with the money that Harendra wires him.

Appearance
While an older man, Harendra is a towering brick wall, muscle on muscle. His receding hair and beard have gone white for many years and his brow is almost permanently furrowed from years in the rough and tumble life of a biker gang member, but he remains sharp as a tack. Though now he usually dresses in something a bit more professional as the owner of the Skeleton Closet, Haren still wears his gang’s vest under it all and has many tattoos from his glory days. In contrast to this, he always wears a bright-pastel bracelet that says "दादा” (Daada), a handmade keepsake sent to him by Lajilla.

Personality
Haren is gruff, no-nonsense, and focuses on turning the Coyote gang profitable, turning stolen currency over at the Skeleton Closet. Very much the secret teddy-bear type, Haren would do anything for Lajilla.
