Al-Zeir Abu layla Almuhalhil Adi Ibn Rabia (الزير أبو ليلى المهلهل عدي ابن ربيعة), whose real name was Adi bin Rabi'a which means Adi son of Rabia, he also had the nickname Azzir Salim/Alzeer Salem. Zeer means "womanizer" or someone that likes being around woman and girls. He was a poet and warrior in Pre-Islamic Arabia. He was born somewhere in northern Saudi Arabia or Southern Jordan in the Syrian desert, he died in 531 AD. He is the hero and main character of the 6th century 'Epic of Adi', revolving around the murder of his King Brother, Kulaib Bin Rabia. There is a 31 episode show that revolves about the wars the cousin tribes of the north, led under Kulaib ibn Rabia, had with the Kingdom of Kindah, which was established by the Kindah tribe, who originated from Yemen, after they win the wars, the tribes decide to make him king over them. Kulaib starts the idea and project of making a huge wall to defend from invaders like the Eastern Roman Empire and the Persians, which would've made it one of the biggest walls in history, probably second after the Wall of China, but later Kulaib starts acting bossy, and makes hunting, stealing, raiding, cooking when his palace cookers are cooking illegal, he also added guards to three Oasis' or lakes to prevent anyone from using them, not just humans but even Mashiya (Camels, donkeys, sheep and goats). All of this combined made some people go against him. Then, after Kulaib kills a well descendant, greaty heritaged camel of Albasous, ((who is the mothers sister of Jasas, NaDla, Hammam (Alzeers best friend) and Sultaan), (who are the children of Murra (مرة), who is the distant cousin or probably even step-brother of Rabia') (Kulaibs, Adis, Salamas, Zahra's father)). Kulaib tells his wife AlJalila Buntu Murra (الجليلة بنت مرة) that he is going to the wild, for a walk, and tells her to stay in the palace and take care of his main daughter, and leaves on his horse. Jasas gets to know of what has happened, so Jasas tells Amr, his best friend, to go with him in the dessert, Amr follows, asking him "Where are we going?", but Jasas doesn't answer.

The Epic of Adi primarily revolves around his trauma as a result of his brother's loss, and the ensuing war of attrition known as Albasoos.
