If I have to choose one among the many unparallel characters of the novel, all unique in their own way, it has to be Azeez! I know someone will be scrunching her face at me in annoyance and anger but the Author Sahiba have asked us to give our honest opinion. 😃
I like this boy for many reasons and not for the reasons we fight about, not because off-duty from HBAS he adores and admires me and spends half his time on my farm! 🤣 Okay before I get deviated from the topic let me clarify why.
Azeez is full of youth and life. He in his light mood perks up a scene with his light-hearted banter and he does not even spare Khan Sahib when he is in that zone. 😆 He makes everyone laugh be it KS with his hint of a smile or all his peers, they love to be in his company! He is full of roguish humor and gels with one and all alike. And because of this lively nature, we see he is witty and intelligent as well. That is why he can get a gesture and find ways to solve or go to the right aid for help.
But as a disciple of KS, he is fierce when the time demands! He can be lethal and with his athletic physique, he can strike terror among his enemies. He can be deadly and defiant to his foes or opponent irrespective of who they are, be it an informer or the Shehzade, as we witnessed recently. He is brave and doesn't cower under pressure.
Also, he is dead serious when handed a mission. Every time KS asks him to do something be it on some errand or be it in his espionage work, he always dedicatedly finishes his mission keeping his frivolous side aside.
Being the young lad he is, he is very insightful! When, even KS was in denial for his feelings for Heera, Azeez knew his master gets a little prickly or defensive when a certain Sahiba becomes the subject. It was in Aidabad too we saw many a time he would either joke if KS was not in a deadly mood or he never mentioned her when KS was in a serious mood, like as Charanjith in Parnagarh. He knew when his master's mood was okay to approach about the topic. Later, He was insightful enough to come and get Heera to tend to KS when he came severely hurt in Parnagarh, knowing she would be the only one who could calm and soothe his master at that moment! And he himself was hurt but he kept a joking face in front of the maids not to let them know what the actual scene is. Even before KS left for the capital and he saw Heera waiting outside his room, he was the one to urge her to go into the room and meet him. These little instances show his power of gauging a situation and promptly working on it.
And he is fearless! It comes through his brazen and at time brash attitude. We see it when he dealt with the maids in Aidabad sending a zergul flower shutting them off or when he was harshly sarcastic to Khalil when they were saving Heera from him or later as a sceptic mocker, standing up for his master in conveying his endless effort in covering the distance to save Heera fom Khalil or his defiant eyes sending the message even to the Shehzade of his fearlessness when he was being sent to get his arms chopped off.
And lastly, I am amazed to see this young lad's dedication and devotion to KS! He can willingly and happily give his life up for his master as we recently witnessed. That kind of loyalty we find in his master himself and he has been successful to instill that in his pupil. Whatever the reason may be, KS gave him a direction in his life from being a street urchin, maybe KS gave him family from being an orphan all his life, maybe KS gave him the food, shelter, clothing to fulfill his basic needs, maybe KS gave him reason to smile instead of rotting in a bar or dungeon, maybe KS made a man out of him from a mere thief he was...but his loyalty to KS is unwavering under any circumstances and now we see that loyalty has been extended to KS's Begum as well.
And if I can't choose Azeez, my next bet would be on Mohan Banna. Again for his being the pillar of strength physically and mentally for his men, being their guide, mentor and instructor he has fulfilled his duty to the core. He is like a mountain protecting, guarding and keeping Parnagarh and its heiresses safe all along. He also looked after the moral aspect about Durga and Heera. Even when Durga was out with Mahendra, he was the one who was concerned about her safety, propriety and honor.
All along in Aidabad, even when he was suffering so badly from the septicemia and was in terrible pain, his concern did not fade even for that moment. He was willing to sacrifice his life for Heera and her troops and urged her to move ahead leaving him behind.
He is extremely loyal and that we can see at every opportunity! That is the reason KS being the farsighted person he is, knew who to confide in and called Mohan Banna to update him about himself and the reason why he became the Mansabdar and wedded Heera. And sure enough, that was the best decision like always, because when the time came Mohan Banna stood out to be the shining Sun to clear the fog and mist of Parnagarh people's ignorance regarding Heera and KS. He was the bellowing voice of reason that subsided the air of unrest and upheaval. He stood by his Mistress like a rock shielding her from all the pelting stones and insult and promised to be there after bringing in the peace and composure back to Parnagarh and I am sure he will keep his promise, no matter what!
These kinds of genuine people are hard to come by and they don't show off or brag their worth in a hollow manner but shows their worth when the time comes being rock solid in their support, strength and stature!
Phew...this was a Herculean task to pick and choose one! 😃
