Mohammed is the son of a wealthy merchant family on Regulus that made their money largely on the mango export business. Always a thrill seeker, he used his family’s wealth to pursue something of a playboy lifestyle, and to support his interest in extreme sports. By age 22, he already held Regulan records in the sports of space-diving and speed rock-climbing. Bored with even these insane sports, Mohammed decided that Solaris VII represented the most extreme sport of all. He used his family money to finance a fairly successful career at a young age. Unfortunately, in a widely publicized business scandal in 3065, his father was imprisoned and his family’s assets were seized. Mohammed was forced to sell his cutting-edge Perseus and downsize to an aging Whitworth just to pay the bills. Taharqa Bane offered him a place in the Flaming Devil Monkeys stable in exchange for some financial help. Disillusioned by his troubles (and probably a little bored), Mohammed happily followed Bane in 3067 when he decided to go mercenary.
Because of Ishmael’s experience in the arena, Bane made him a Lieutenant and put him in charge of Baboon Lance. This leadership position was new for Mohammed and it has taken him some time to become comfortable with it, but he has slowly grown into the role.
