Who is Abdikadir Omar from Time's Eye and what is their importance?

An Afghan citizen, a Pashtun and a native of the North West Frontier, Abdikadir is a chief warrant officer by rank, and an admitted mujahideen. He has a strong face with a proud Roman nose and a fringe of a beard. His eyes are blue and he has strawberry blonde hair that earns him the nickname Ginger by the other British troops. He is a gentle man, who is civilized and approachable. He is one of the few Pashtuns to be on the UN's side, and as an Afghan finds he must defer to the Americans spending more time as a copilot than a pilot. Serious and focused, Abdikadir is a scientist at heart.
