Character History

Side Story: Sandman Part 1

While walking home from work one day, Amid comes across a jewellery store selling a strange necklace. He asks the clerk what it means and she informs him that it is the Japanese symbol for Godsend. Amid continues home and calls out to his wife Zara. He hears a noise in the house and rushes to see if Zara is hurt. Instead, he finds her passionately embracing another man. Shocked and hurt by her betrayal, Amid calls her a cheating liar and leaves.

He meets with Zara's father, who tells him that since he is no longer involved with his daughter, he no longer has a place in his company. Amid, broken and defeaten, goes back to the jewellery shop and finds Zara and Mike shopping for rings. Mike buys Zara the symbol necklace and Amid attempts to kill them both. He is shot and while he is recovering in hospital, Mike and Mr Vahava set his floor on fire. After he survives the fire, Vahava flies Amid's severely burned body into the middle of the desert and leaves him there. Hours away from death, Amid lets out a heavy sigh and his entire body decomposes into sand. He reforms himself into a sand form and finds that he is somehow holding the necklace.

Side Story: Sandman Part 2

Seeking revenge for his attempted murder, Amid conjures up a sandstorm that pursues Mike through the desert. When Mike's plane nearly avoids his reach, Amid makes a face stretch from the sand, enveloping the plane and Mike. When the sandstorm clears, Amid stands alone, clearly pleased with his revenge.

Evolved Human Abilities

After suffering fatal burns and emotional anguish, Amid forfeited his life while in the desert and completely decomposed into sand. Seconds later, he reformed into a sand being and was able to move with great ease. Since then, he has learned to manipulate his sandy form. He is able to control sand to such an extent that he can create vicious sandstorms.
