Hamza is a loxodon warrior from Tarkir.
History
Original timeline
The Abzan Houses were centered in the fortress city of Arashin. The city was protected by Mer-Ek fortress, where the khan of the Abzan held court. Mer-Ek was considered impenetrable, but the Abzan knew that nothing was absolute. Should an enemy take Mer-Ek, nothing would stand in their way of taking Arashin. Nothing but Hamza.
Hamza was a Krumar, an orphan raised by an influential Abzan family. He was always very strong, even for a loxodon. He knew he wanted to use his strength to repay the clan that had taken him in, so he joined the city guard when he came of age. Hamza quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the most decorated guard captain in the history of Arashin. He grew to command the guard and personally ensured that Arashin remained safe until Tarkir's history was rewritten.[1]
Current timeline
In the current timeline, Hamza was adopted and raised by House Fenzala. His raw strength made him a decorated fortress guard, but it was his leadership that made him a Yathan prodigy, an elite group of Abzan warriors entrusted to work autonomously from the khan. He was a highly respected commander of the Abzan rebellions after the Phyrexian Invasion and was quickly appointed to a leadership role in the Yathan after the Dromoka's defeat. However, much to House Fenzala's chagrin, Hamza refused to leave the Yathan to join the Council of Houses after the Azban's victory. He is known to be unorthodox, preferring to mingle with the citizens he protects rather than using his status as social leverage.[2]
