Farik's/Saad's wife, who has a daughter, Asma, by him. A Palestinian refugee who found asylum in the UK. They begin the series estranged, because Farik had gone overseas from the Middle East to fight Jihad, and abandoned her and Asma. She risks everything to meet him in a hotel and beg him to not martyr himself, but he is unwilling to listen to reason. Unfortunately for her, this leads to her being apprehended by the authorities and thrown into black site detention just like Farik after the failed Dodgers Stadium attack. She is eventually released, albeit placed under heavy surveillance by MI5 back in London. Darwyn then gains her trust as a means to reunite with Farik.

* TraumaButton: Ilija [[GenocideSurvivor survived the Bosnian genocide]], where Serbs murdered his entire family. Given this, he's triggered by running into anybody with Serbian heritage. The first season has him go on a date with a woman who's revealed to be a Serbian-American from wearing a crucifix which Ilija recognizes as the one used by Serbian Orthodox Christians. Ilija's response is to then ask if she thinks he's a dog, which bewilders and upsets the woman (as the genocidal Serbs had called Bosnian Muslims this) before he leaves in a rage. After he's on the run in Season 2, he hitches a ride with a man it turns out is a Serb. Ilija immediately starts to jump out, but is stopped by the man, who's compassionate to him and wishes for reconciliation after the Yugoslav Wars, revealing he's also married to a Bosnian Muslim woman. On hearing this, Ilija is mollified and sits down.
