Selim Ebrahim and his sister Sadia are twin Farfolk who just moved from Kadarsi to The Kingdom of Norland in order to escape debt. His parents sent away Selim and Sadia to this faraway land so that they could escape their parents debt. Selim and Sadia secretly plan to become wealthy and return to their home country in order to save their parents from their forced cycle of debt, but their parents would never condone them re-entering Kadarsi. Selim was briefly apprenticed to a small time but successful merchant, and he picked up some business skills in the process. He is an avid mountaineer, and has good stamina even at low altitudes. That said he is strong only in his legs and back and has never won an arm wrestling contest with his sister, who uses her arms to carry goods from the market every day. Selim hopes that he can gain the favor of a businessman in order to acquire wealth and maybe start a business of his own. He was also forced to leave a childhood sweetheart in Kadarsi, which is another reason, besides his disinterest in romance, that he generally chooses to ignore the advances of others.
