>Born into ruling family of Syria
>Since childhood was always the shy, quiet, unnoticed son who kept to himself, while his assertive, charismatic older brother was championed by all as the next leader of Syria
>Goes quietly and modestly through childhood, has dreams of being a humble dentist in a quiet European village, marry a homely woman and living in peace from all the crazy world he left back home.
>Studying to achieve dream, suddenly phonecall from Dad
>Older bro has died, now Bashar has to be leader of Syria
>Weep for dead dream of peace of mind, eventually accept fate and return home
>Tries to be a just and level-headed ruler, as is his spirit. Surely this is the way of Allah?
>Suddenly rebels spawn and start literally GASSING THEMSELVES as propaganda
>Everyone now hates poor Assad and want him and his family dead
>Trapped in palace bunker for years while incompetent and disloyal generals continually promise him everything is going to plan
>At night dreams of the sweet scent of Swiss meadow grass while explosions from afar lightly vibrate the walls of his sleeping chamber.
>Bashar's gentle mind wastes away under the weight of his conscious, waiting for the inevitable sensation of a handgun pressed against the back of his head.
>had fifteen years to transition from dictatorship to democracy
