Personality: Old habits die hard. Bishop is an organized, territorial and militant sort, but has learned to work well with others. He's a no nonsense kind of guy, except during designated time frames, under specific circumstances.

Backstory: One of the older serving member of the Banyay business, Raqim holds a lot of clout and keeps tabs on the family workforce in his district. A marine veteran from a previous regime, he came under the family’s employ following the ceasefire on the Isle of Nevers over 15 years earlier. This military backbone underlies his very nature making him a disciplined and reliable liaison for Gideon.

Ongoing Story: His formal employee title is that of ‘accountant’ at the coffee shop. That being his headquarters and base of operations when administering the district and keeping an eye on Gideon. The two devolop a fond, and functional partnership, while Raqim's loyalty begins to drift away from Richard Banyay and towards Gideon specifically. It seems to Bishop that his younger protege holds not just excellent ideas as to how an empire should be run, but the proper know-how to make it happen.
