Moosha, also known as Scabby by Ar and the other wild children of Sebua, or The Scabrous One, is a desert vampire who resides within Sebua. Not always withered and scarred as he is today, Moosha was once a handsome letch. However, he committed crimes too grave to go unnoticed. By conspiring with the pharaoh's Grand Wife to murder him, and then murdering her son against her will, Moosha angered the gods of the Black Land. After the God of Justice cursed Moosha for his crimes, the God of Dark Vengeance withered his body and buried him with a storm of sand. When Moosha reawakened, he was a desert vampire. Soon after, he stumbled upon an oasis with some traders. He killed them all and drank their bodily fluids, drawing himself into Sebua[1]
Moosha has the power to animate the dead as desert zombies. He can also summon jackals.[2]
Although Moosha currently preys upon the Sebuan wild children, the only way to end his curse is to enlighten them about the lost religious traditions of their ancestors.[3]
Assuming desert vampires follow the same aging patterns as normal vampires, Moosha would qualify as an old vampire.
