Yabbahar

The apothecary Yabbahar lives on the island of Zanzibaar, where he sells a variety of unique, exotically-prepared inks, as well as the powdered henna used by Bansilia to create elaborate and decorative henna tattoos.

Cloaked in long robes of saffron and brown stripes and surrounded by the rich scent of myriad spices, Yabbahar is a thin merchant with a head of curly white hair. He has sharp facial features, of which his piercing blue eyes, long nose, and hollow, weathered cheeks are the most prominent. His bushy, white eyebrows are knitted together into a focused expression by the tight frown that wrinkles his forehead.
