Ali Shaheed is an oil sheikh with strong ties to political figures in the Middle East and the West. He is incredibly wealthy from both his oil interests and the political favors he’s been granted in exchange for access to his oil. Shaheed frequently intercedes on behalf of his Western and European friends in Middle East affairs. Shaheed is monitored by Interpol and numerous intelligence agencies, and is widely known as the voice of Al Samad, responsible for several anti American broadcasts over the past several years.

Shaheed is a suspected financier of terror bombings in Europe, and is believed to have several Al Samad cells buried in Europe and Asia, ready to carry out terrorist attacks. One such cell in Europe is believed to be led by Jibril Al Bara, a professor who has recently gone into hiding and is wanted by both the National Security Administration for financial irregularities and Interpol for questioning.

According to the intelligence obtained in Saudi Arabia, Shaheed has been working on behalf of Halbech, using his near diplomatic immunity to act as a go between for a part of the immediate and future profits Halbech will reap from the destabilization in these locations.
