13th Warrior Squad, need Ahmed suggestion

I'm painting up one squad of my Space Wolves as a "13th Warrior" tribute (I love that movie). 12 Space Wolf Blood Claws and one "counts-as" BC from another chapter to represent the "ambassador."

My real question to you all is this: what chapter should Antonio Banderas' character (Ahmed Ibn Fadlan) come from? I can't really think of any Arabic-inspired chapters of note. I almost went Dark Angels, but that's more Native American and Dark Age Europe. They don't get along well anyway.

Suggestions?

The only chapter coming to mind is those White Scar chaps, and what little I know of them seems to suggest they're more "Mongol Horde" than Arabic.

Course, the Tallarn Desert Raiders would be an obvious choice if not a marine.

What about if Ibn isn't presented in the role of a marine, but of one of others the Imperium has to offer? Like, an Inquisitorial Agent, or a Rogue Trader, they can sport fancy looking equipment to look the part and have an independance about them that could be condusive to why they're there stood amongst some Space Wolves.

Good point; the fluff aspect is troublesome. Space Wolves don't play well with others; even =][= agents. Hm... you may be on to something though. Perhaps a Navigator from the House Belisarius? There are certainly excuses aplenty for one of them to be amongst the boys.

edit: I could even put him in a turban to hide his third eye while not surfing the warp. I think I saw somewhere that headwraps are not uncommon amongst the Navigators.
