Darwesh graduated from the Hamawand State University in 1986 and took over his father's gold trading enterprise, renaming it to the Hamawand Gold Emporium. Using a contact at the Hamawand Mining Bureau from his university days, Darwesh was able to buy gold from state mines at highly reduced rates and resell it in the international market for a sizable profit. The scheme was discovered in 1992 and a criminal case was opened against Darwesh in the Hamawand High Court, Darwesh transferred control of Hamawand Gold Emporium to his sister and fled Umardwal; in 2035 the case remains open but buried in the judicial archives of Hamawand. He resurfaced in Tapakdore as a supplier of heavy machinery to the Tapakdore Aluminum Corporation, he reportedly sold heavily refurbished draglines disguised as brand-new to the company, netting a ƒ400 million profit in the process. When one of his 'new' draglines collapsed and killed two TAC employees, Darwesh fled the country while the investigation was ongoing. The businessman who had sold him the draglines invited him to settle in Daxia and work at one of his telemarketing companies, Cintranex Limited. At Cintranex Darwesh is allege to have 'made a killing' by selling fake jewelry at outrageous prices to elderly Daxians. Darwesh left Cintranex after falling out with Darro over a lack of profit sharing. After acquiring funding, in 2004 he co-founded the multi-level marketing company Conglomo from which he was forced out by 2010 due to irregular financial handlings.
