Personality:
Sahir is a friendly, kind, energetic and genuine young man that is very down to earth despite his troubled past. He is a bright young man, he is quite open minded and is more than happy to speak his mind. To the people he loathes and despises, he tends to openly show his hate towards them, in particular, Israel. To people he doesn't know, he can be polite to them but he does tend to make his judgements, as it takes him a little while for him to open up to them. It is quite rare for him to be depressed or upset, if he is, he will usually either talk to someone about it, or he will keep it to himself.
He mostly enjoys having fun and the outdoors; he doesn't like being kept in the house. Sahir loves kids and enjoys playing with them and making them laugh. When it comes to any armed conflict however, he becomes very serious. Due to his recent events and the uprisings, he has become a lot more serious and cold. Don't let his outer demeanour fool you though; he is his friendly and energetic self on the inside.
He has quite a few close relations here and there, but most of his relationships have a bad past as it is obvious that Syria hates Israel's guts. They have never gotten along with each other, and have always gotten caught up in conflicts with one another due to Israel's treatment of Palestinian people and the Israeli occupation of his Golan Heights.
His relationship with Lebanon can be classified at times complicated, but warm and close. During her Civil War, he helped her out and kept her under his military occupation for thirty years. Even though both Lebanon and Syria may have been through tough times with each other in the past, and have had a few disagreements, the two will do anything to improve their relations in order to become closer. The two have known each other for a very long time, and have become quite close as of recent.
Iran has been a close ally of Syria's for a while and came to Iran's aid during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980's. His friendship with Jordan has also been strained in the past to a certain extent due to accusations towards each other made by both sides, but the two are also very close friends since Jordan was historically apart of southern Syria, and the creation of warmer relations. Iraq too, has been one of Syria's closest friends for a while but their relations in the past were rather strained due to political indifferences and rivalry between the Baath Parties in both countries. Their similarities in culture and in history, however have led them to have a closer friendship.
Armenia is also another close friend of Syria's. The two have known each other for quite a while since Syria was a part of the Kingdom of Armenia for a short period of time under Tigranes the Great. They also go quite far back in history as well. Both were a part of the Ottoman Empire and the various Persian Empires as well. Sahir helped her out and sheltered her people during the Armenian Genocide which was committed by the Ottoman Empire from 1915-1923. Today, they have become quite close due to their history and his hospitality of sheltering her and her people. France granted Syria independence, and his relations with him have gone up and down, but have been of a reasonable standard.
His troubled past has led him to somewhat become a better person today. His past was filled with military coups, conflicts, political instability, population loss, unstable relations with other countries as well as a few massacres, which lead him to be quite serious for most of his past. Sahir himself doesn't like remembering his past much due to the struggles he endured. He has taken these struggles as 'life lessons' and has learnt from them.
In his free time, Sahir enjoys getting out of the house and go places. He likes to play with his hamster; Maryam and his pet eagle Zenobia. He spends most of his time with Lebanon and Armenia, but also with Iran, Libya, Jordan and Iraq. The latter only when he can. He is a master at pick-pocketing, and tends to carry a small dagger around with him from his assassin times just in case any trouble arises. He enjoys reading, dabke, listening to music, free-running, going for walks and playing soccer (for exercise) cooking and also walking around in the souks. Most of all, he enjoys the company of his loved ones, and friends.

Guys... GUYS.
THIS WAS A PAIN IN MY ROUND LARGE GREEK HINEY.
HIS TIMELINE SPANS FOR TWO PAGES ON MICROSOFT WORD, NO JOKE.
EVERY YEAR BETWEEN THE 1940's TO 2000, SOMETHING HAPPENS IN SYRIA.
But why do I have a feeling that Syria's bio is not as good as Lebanon's....
Besides that, why am I only A LITTLE PLEASED with this bio? Because; No.1 I haven't associated his name much in his Foreign Relation's Page, No.2 I still need to do his History, and I have forgotten which interval of years he was born during the Assyrian Empire.
This biography is also taking me a long time to finish. I still have to do his Foreign Relations and his History. Once I finish the History section, things in the biography might be subject to change. Luckily, I did Lebanon's History the same time I was doing her whole biography. So, please be wary of the changes that might come in the next few hours to days. I'll be summarising a bagillion paragraphs ;_;
All in all, I wasn't expecting THIS MUCH information on Syria. But then again, Syria is a VERY old country, so, there is obviously going to be heaps of information on it.
For all the people that come from Syria and are on here, please do let me know if you see anything wrong. I will be happy to fix it up/correct the information. Info regarding the 2011 Uprisings
NOTES:
The Syrian-Armenians in Syria are pro-Assad
So is Iran.
You all have no idea how sad the above information makes me.
If you are wondering about the girl he likes/is in love with; it should be pretty obvious by now X3
Hope you all enjoy him in his written glory
