Hasani might be a more empathetic character if he had climbed his way up the proverbial ladder in a rags-to-riches story. Alas, that simply isn't the case. Born to old money and a family with a penchant to claiming both Egyptian pharaohs and Spanish queens as ancestors, luxury and lying are formative cornerstones of both the man and his history. As was being told how special and unique he was as the only child of aging blue-bloods split by bitter divorce. Hasani spent his youth bouncing back and forth between Egypt and Spain, each of his parents vying for his love and affection with grand gifts that culminated in a fledgling fortune due in no small part to Hasani using his Quirk to manipulate events. A Quirk he passed off as something else entirely to help perpetuate his Machiavellian schemes.

Much like his aforementioned personal gift, Hasani didn't squander his wealth. He used it to put himself through university—multiple times over in drastically short periods. There was no reason not to pursue academia to such a degree and show off while doing it as he was always the smartest person in any room he stepped into. At least once he pinpointed the best sources of knowledge in said room. He acquired various degrees in art, fashion, business, philosophy, psychology, law, and even engineering through this method. At least one of these is a doctorate. Hasani pushed through the coursework required solely so people would have to refer to him as Dr. Hasani Serna.

Respect and awe have always been things Hasani pursued, so the same practice was employed when Hasani began to crave greater success and fame through the flourishing Hero industry. After all, how did one compete with someone that saw your every move before you even acted? Hasani graduated at the top of his class in Heroics despite entering so late and supposedly only having an empathy Quirk and even though he had begun to truly make a name for himself, he decided to leave Egypt to avoid suspicions about his meteoric rise in multiple fields. Using what money he had left, Hasani established Obelisk Designs to explore his love of fashion and find a new avenue of recognition through creating unique support gear in the form of custom Hero costumes. UAU approached him to fill an abdicated position as Head of the Support Department after his company began to gain fame of its own in Japan. He accepted. There were few better places to scout for talented individuals to build up his company—or to steal ideas to claim as his own.
