Baz Mirani

Baz Mirani, a character in the Open Heart series, is a member of the Diagnostics Team at Edenbrook Hospital with a specialty in immunology. He makes his official appearance in Book 2, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Dr. Mirani has brown hair, brown eyes, a beard and tan skin. He wears a black t-shirt with a llama wearing sunglasses printed on the front under a white Edenbrook Hospital coat with a pen in the pocket.

Personality
He appears more personable and friendly than his brother, Zaid. He is not good with deciphering tone of voice, so if you speak sarcastically, he finds it hard to tell. Baz is earnest to a fault and respects authenticity more than anything.

Your Character
You first meet Dr. Mirani when you join the Diagnostics Team in their meeting room. At first, you mistake him for his twin brother, Zaid Mirani. He tells you that because Zaid tried to be a teacher before he turned to medicine, he is a few years ahead of his brother career-wise. He transferred to Edenbrook to be with him.

Zaid Mirani
Zaid is Baz's twin brother and fellow colleague at Edenbrook. According to Ethan Ramsey, Baz started working on the Diagnostics Team a couple years ago when Zaid began his residency. The previous Chief of Medicine cleared it with Zaid before allowing Baz to transfer, although the rumor is that it was Baz dressed up pretending to be Zaid who said it was okay.

Trivia

 * The surname Mirani is of Persian or Spanish origin, which means "an attractive lady". Its emergence derives from the Mirhani Dynasty (a Baloch tribe that influenced India between the 15th and 18th centuries).
 * He resembles Ajay's father Samir from High School Story: Class Act, Book 2, minus the glasses.
