True.
Akmed is a deflier of peccaries, defiler as well.
He is most shamed of goat faced dog men.
His mother vomits at the thought of having given birth to him, his father calls the dog 'son' instead.
His family has disowned him and rents his room out to anyone who will pose as him.
So we have to understand his plight, he isn't here really out of bravery, but desperation.
He is LOOKING for release from this existence!
I think you are right!
