Ahmed was born in [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]]- [[Earth]] on Stardate 2382.04.10 to Salid ibn Jaffar and Jasmine Mosatuff. At the time of his birth his father was an engineering ensign aboard the USS Roland and his mother was an artist.

Ahmed lived in Cairo for the vast majority of his life, although he did spend a few years aboard the [[USS Roland]] and the [[USS Archimedes]] with his mother and father.

At the age of five years, Ahmed’s parent’s divorced after Ahmed’s mother Jasmine was discovered to be having an affair, with the USS Archimedes’ Chief Counselor. Ahmed’s father, unable to raise the boy alone and without a desire to release him to his mother’s custody,sent young Ahmed back to Cairo to live with his Uncle Aamihr. Before leaving the Forrester, Ahmed’s mother gave him a necklace to remember her by. He still wears it to this day.

Ahmed had a difficult time adjusting to his new life with his Uncle. When he reached his teens, Ahmed became rebellious and would often disobey his uncle’s wishes. In the interest of finding something to occupy his nephew’s time in a more productive manner, Ahmed’s uncle introduced the boy to [[Sailing]] and [[Boxing]].

There were remarked improvements in Ahmed’s grades as a result of these new interests. It was discovered that he possessed a photographic memory and that he had become bored with his studies, since he could memorize the course curriculum within a few hours. Boxing and Sailing gave him physical challenges as well as mental ones, and he began to work in his uncle’s business, teaching tourists how to sail traditional Egyptian boats on the Mediterranean sea. Ahmed would often participate in unsanctioned boxing clubs in his teens.

It was during this time that Ahmed began to take an intense interest in History. His uncle had revealed Ahmed’s rich family Lineage to the boy at the age of 17. The men in Ahmed’s family have dedicated their lives in the pursuit of Moral Justice. Ahmed began a detailed Genealogy of his male ancestors and was able to trace back his lineage to a general serving in [[Saladin|Saladin's]] army during the battles of the Crusades. He commissioned an incredible Genealogy scroll of his ancestors that is 4 feet wide and 9 feet tall. It is current displayed on the wall of his quarters aboard the [[USS Rosenante]].


On Stardate 2398.08.12 Ahmed was involved in a near fatal accident. While exploring a recently discovered Egyptian tomb in the [[Valley of the Kings]] with Doctor Sufi Mohammed Sari, a renowned Egyptologist, There was a collapse of a tunnel.

Ahmed was badly injured. He suffered serious trauma in the form of broken bones. It took rescuers thirteen hours to free him from the rubble. As a result of these traumatic times, Ahmed suffers from a mild case of claustrophobia, although he is usually able to fight back the sense of panic that he feels.
