Marwan al-Baghdadi

Marwan al-Baghdadi (i.e. "Marwan The Baghdadian") was the name used by a senior agent of the of the renegade Crosstimers (his real name is unknown) who established himself in late 21st Century Muslim Madrid and engaged in extensive slave-trading activities.

Posessing a lot of money and speaking perfect Arabic, he arrived in Madrid at some time in the decade previous to 2096 and quickly established himself as a succesful and influential merchant. This was greatly resented by members of Madrid's old established aristocracy such as Hassan ibn Hussein against whom "al-Baghdadi" often bid in slave auctions.

Many of the slaves which he purchased were later taken by a transposition chamber hidden in the basement of his home to the illegal estate which the renegades maintained in another timeline. The disappearance of slaves whom "al-Baghdadi" bought brought into his home and who never came out again was noted by his neighbors, some of whom suspected that he was sacrificing the slaves to demons. However, due to "al-Baghdadi"'s wealth his position in Madrid society was strong, and the local authorities did not inquire into his affairs.

His fatal blunder was to buy Annette Klein and include her among slaves tansported to the illegal estate - from where she eventually escaped and exposed the whole renegade ring.

It is unknown whether "al-Baghdadi" was cuaght and arrested along with the other renegades, or if he managed to escape.
