Nope. As you can see, not an ounce of metal armor on me!

Actually, I have never heard of a group (I am guessing you meant music?) named Ihsan. It is a common Arab-Berber name, and it is the Berbers who are well known for their care and riding of Barbs, a top of light horse - often warhorse - for which my character's Ihsan is patterned.

As for the character himself, despite the obvious fantasy-nature motifs, he is based on the idea of a noble Bornu horseman of Africa.
