Born in the deserts of the Emirates on May 17th 2172 in Dubai, Sabak had been with MAGEC/Mirage since the beginning in 2202. He was one of the many pioneers to find and establish the company in the Middle East and from around the world, along with their founder and director, Sheikh Mani Zayed, having his own Philosophy for the technology. In late 2205, MAGEC would announce their racing team, Mirage, to compete and test for the upcoming FX350 League. Sebak contributes as a test pilot for Mirage, learning and controlling the AG-craft in the Facility's test track until he decided to make it his long-term career as a professional pilot. Unfortunately for the Team, the technology couldn't live up to the expectations, suffering their ships to lose power or not being able to move. It took another year for them to perfect their race craft, yet the team couldn't keep up with the other competitors. Even so, they were also competing against their neighboring rivals from the African Nations.

Sebak was one of the few pilots to bring Mirage up to the rankings with the other teams, having the most experience and knowledge to the team's AG-craft. Other Mirage pilots in the lineup like Egyptian, Malik Al-Tamassal, and Turkish, Cahit Kaet'yrun, would earn Mirage their reputation and medals throughout the FX400 league, though Sebak would earn more medals out of all of them. Mani-Zayed would consider him his personal favorite AG-Pilot, choosing him to compete for the All-Star Championships against the other team's elite pilots throughout the years since 2209.

Sebak had mostly harness his skills back in the main Headquarters, until meeting a courageous female pilot who had surprisingly came to the facility. No woman was allowed or has ever walked in the Facility or hanger bays until one Egyptian woman had the guts to face Mani Zayed himself, having permission to pilot their AG-craft. Egyptian newcomer, Farah Al-Qasimi was the only woman in the Arab world and team to enter in the AGRL, as she was still being treated disrespectfully, including by Sebak himself. However over a year, Farah would prove herself throughout the facility, beating the other trainee pilots and getting the attention of Sebak to race her. He thought she was joking and was too optimistic in racing the greatest pilot or a "man" on the team, thinking he could easily outrun her on the test track. However, during the race, Farah would manage to keep up, including passing him on the last lap. Sebak tried to run her off the track close to the finish until she quickly slammed the airbrakes, causing Sebak to run off course instead with her crossing the line. He had underestimated her, yet was utterly impressed by her piloting skills. Though Farah was just a Rookie, Sebak gave her his respect and acquires her to become a wingman for the FX400 Racing League.

Throughout the FX400 with the team still climbing, Sebak would continue to earn medals from tournaments or championships, including many sponsors and giving some alliance to teams Harimau and Icaras. Assegai on the other hand instead would become an enemy, including his arch rival from the team, Gabriel Khumala. Khumala would usually end up in back of him, yet Gabriel's aggression would push through and even knocking out Sebak's AG-craft from the race, taking his position in few tournaments. Though only having Farah as his wingman, he would eventually discover Indian pilot, Damien Avandi, also choosing him for a teammate and squad. The three pilots would give their best to come in first place for the team, proving themselves an obstacle for other squads in team events. Mirage would become a stronger team than ever before, preparing themselves for the next gen league and developing their new craft. With Sebak giving most of the team's reliance, it was clear that he will continue not to disappoint them. However, his participation in the ASC would not last long.

Following the 2214 season after the ASC, Sebak would announce his retirement from the championships before the closing season. Another Emirati pilot, Obald Meer would take his place for the ASC up until the FX500 Racing league including South African, Likhapa Ramotshabi in 2216, a female pilot. Mani-Zayed still favored Sebak over anyone in the company, but he rather give new elite pilots a chance in the ASC, regardless how experienced his last pilot was. Sebak was ranked veteran around this time, only to continue racing in standard events from the FX500 league, moving on to there. He was also a test pilot for the team's new craft, the Scarab-2, more bulky and organic than their predecessor from the FX350 and 400 league. After successful tests back in the facility, Sebak, would proudly fly the new craft as presentation for Mirage for the inaugural 2215 season.

That same year, Auricom and Qirex wage war for the race commission. Both teams would bring in their allied teams to fight one another, one of which was Mirage siding with Qirex. Mani Zayed wanted a piece of the race commission, mostly opposing Van Uber throughout, seeing them as "supercilious" and to show what his team craft was capable of in response to their team principal, Helmut Van-Uber. However, Mirage wasn't too aggressive for that matter, but somehow they supported Qirex's new race director/pilot, Nadia Elenova and her aggressive influence she intends to establish if claiming the race commission. It would appear that Zayed was more interested in wealth than anything when the team met with Qirex not long before the war started in the racing league. Whatever they've promised, Mirage was set on taking down the teams of the Belmondo Foundation. Unfortunately for them, their African adversaries remained neutral, leaving Van Uber to be their main targets during the war for the race commission who supported Auricom and the Foundation.

Sebak Abou-Gazia would lead the charge in the fight for the race commission, currently challenging Van Uber's new AG-pilots in the standard tournaments of the 2217 FX500 season. When it came to eliminator events, Mirage would have the upper hand against the German team with their sportsmanship being their major weakness. Mirage would race dirty if necessary, but even they would still keep their pure race style, mixing up their stances in any race. Overall being with Mirage since the beginning, Sebak has at least 15 years of experience from both test pilot and the All-Star championships, all the way to standard. He has earned 28 medals from his span of 12 seasons, including one platinum bronze medal from the 2209 ASC. (14G/10S/4B) Despite his middle age, Sebak was still in shape, showing no slowing down in his racing skills whatsoever. By the time of the next season however, his skills may soon be challenged now when Tigron joins the league in 2218. Both he and Farah would have to prepare to face this new opponent, not sure of what this rogue team has in store for them.
