No ordinary man in no ordinary shop.

This is my hero. He is an Armenian that owns an off license in Damascus Syria. He is a saviour, he is a happy man, he leads a simple life, and he only closes shop when the ministry force him to. He feels his duty is to serve the people alcohol whenever they need/want it. He would open everyday of the year if he could.

So once the canon is released and the Iftar feasting begins, his shop opens to all those needing a drink, for people either breaking the "rules" of Islam or following a different faith.
