Fahran Gherkin-Rus

Before Winstanward
Born into a wealthy family in Eastern British Raj, (later East Pakistan) Fahran's childhood was fairly calm and sheltered from the local region's dangers. From childhood, he was arranged to marry a cousin, Neeta Gherkin and was expected to become a politician in the nearby major city of Dhaka.

Fahran and Neeta's marriage was unhappy, but they raised 2 children together, Haru and Jhindi.

Meeting Winstanward and betraying family
At some point in the 50s, Fahran met Winstanward Billboard-Rus. Initially appearing disgusted by the behaviour and demeanor of Winstanward and His disciples, Fahran avoided further contact. However in 1955, he was forced to once again make contact with them to help negotiate support from The Stanward Circle to further the cause of Bangladeshi independence from Pakistan.

This meeting led to him becoming enamoured with Winstanward and His way of life, leading to Fahran becoming indoctrinated into the cult. Neeta discovered her husband's affiliation and possible affair with Winstanward. To protect his name and freedom, Fahran took the life of his wife and fled the city, leaving his daughters without parents and went to find Winstanward at the Bogura branch of the Cult.

Later life and death
After hiding out with Winstanward's Bogura Circle for a couple of years, in early January 1958, the compound was attacked by Ab-E Man-Slayer and her daughter Buffus-Malent Man-Slayer which resulted in the abduction and execution of any survivors, including Fahran himself. Fahran, who had become a senior member of the Bogura Circle was among those beheaded by Ab-E Man-Slayer, to be presented to Winstanward Billboard-Rus as a warning. This event would later be known as the Bogura Massacre.
