Arvin Sherif was born on September 27, 1999, in {{wp|Paterson, New Jersey}} into a Turkish-Indian muslim family. His parents immigrated to the U.S. from Turkey and India in the 1980s. His father is a professor at the {{wp|University of Pennsylvania|Philadelphia University}} who graduated from {{wp|Istanbul Technical University|Istanbul Institute of Technology}} and {{wp|Arizona State University}}; his mother is a former manager at {{wp|Siemens|Halske USA}}.
 
Sherif’s maternal family was from {{wp|Calicut}}, {{wp|Madras Presidency}}, {{wp|British India}} (now {{wp|Kozhikode}}, {{wp|Kerala|Kerala state}}, {{wp|India}}). In the 1950s, many of his maternal family members were public officers. His great-granduncle was a mayor of Calicut in the 1960s. Following the {{wp|Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965}}, his grandparents migrated to the {{wp|United States}} to avoid the upcoming war . The tradition of working for the government didn’t stop there; as his maternal grandfather was employed by the {{wp|United States Environmental Protection Agency|EPA Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water}} from 1975 to 1992.
 
At the age of 4, he moved to {{wp|Japan}} in fear of discrimination following the {{wp|September 11 attacks}}. He returned to the United States in 2006 and has since lived in {{wp|Philadelphia}}. Sherif was raised as a muslim and still practice Islam. He claims to be of a ‘moderate muslim’. He has a younger sister named Susan Sherif, currently working for the [[Atlantia Department of Agriculture]] (formerly {{wp|Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture}}.

He was unemployed for a few months before landed a job in {{wp|Google}} as a Korean localization staff for {{wp|Gemini}}. In that capacity, he also had the chance to study in {{wp|Hanyang University}} to pursue his master’s degree in 2026.
 
===Military Service===
 
Following the activation of [[Pillars]] which led to the [[Grand Invasion]] in July 15, 2027, all U.S. male citizens living abroad were drafted to defend against the Hazalian invasion, as ordered by Vice President {{wp|Tim Walz|Timothy Walt}}, the {{wp|Commander-in-chief}} of the {{wp|United States armed forces}} at that time. Sherif was no exception.

He was deployed to provide fire support in fighting Zel’amin-Hazalian forces occupying the whole block of {{wp|Washington, D.C.}}
 
During his deployment, unbeknownst to Sherif, he was affected by the cosmic energy leaking out of the wormhole above the {{wp|White House}} during an assault against Zel’amin forces guarding {{wp|The Capitol}}. The cosmic energy, also called as “[[Mana (Filum)|Mana]]”, began affecting the very base of his cells, enhanced his physical strength, speed, stamina, reflex and durability. 
 
After just two months, his body has completely enhanced where he started to notice his anomalous growth. His fellow platoon members reported to have seen Sherif withstand an attack from Hazalian weaponries, and threw a Zel’amin member flying several feet just from mere punches and kicks. An army medic also reported that his body ‘heals fast’ where a gunshot wound in his left shoulder was healed in just an hour. 
 
It was not until six months later during a [[Operation Homeland Defense]], his actions under fire and heroism bought the interest of his commander. He was quickly promoted to corporal, then the commander of his division immediately brought him to the LN headquarter in New York to be recommended as a suitable candidate for the [[Paladin system]].
 
====LNESF Service Years====
 
During the initial screening for the Paladin system, LN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez reported that Sherif showed an exceptional amount of mana at the level of 7 [[Mana Measurement System|MMR]] (the highest at that time) and expertise in using it, almost as if he was gifted naturally instead of being affected by the wormhole in Washington.

He was quickly promoted to corporal, then the commander of his division immediately brought him to the LN headquarter in New York to be recommended as a suitable candidate for the Paladin system.

LNESF Service Years

During the initial screening for the Paladin system, LN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez reported that Sherif showed an exceptional amount of mana at the level of 7 MMR (the highest at that time) and expertise in using it, almost as if he was gifted naturally instead of being affected by the wormhole in Washington.

Political Career

Sherif didn’t involve in politics until he stepped down from the military in 2038, when he became a member of the United Future, and ran for representative office of the Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District in the 2039 Atlantian General Election. He won in the nonpartisan primary against Shirley Parvati and Viktor Magomedov but lost in the second round against Enrique Fabiano. After his defeat, he did not continue to run for office again in 2044.

Personal Life

Sherif is a polyglot, being able to speak six languages, including; Turkish, Malayalam, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and English. He is also trained in martial arts, holding a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo.

Sherif is a Sunni Muslim, although he never specified which school he follows, but Sherif has said he "followed what his mother taught him".

In 2033, Sherif married Chelsea Lafontaine, a senior he often worked together with when he was in the university. The couple had an Islamic marriage ceremony in April 2034, followed by an outdoor wedding reception two months later. They have two children, David Sherif and Martina Sherif.
