Well, I don't know anything about that supposedly 'familiar name', but I do know the story behind Habib.
Back in the day, when the game was still in the development-stage, they held a character-contest. Fans could submit characters, and a few who would win would make a cameo-appearance in the game. Habib was one of these, a clumsy thief who got caught every single time he attempted to pickpocket someone. To get away, he would throw his scimitar at his mark's head. After this, he would always get a guilty conscience, and would tithe at a temple, but being the coward he is, he was afraid to enter the temple, so he would toss some coins in the general direction of the tithing bowl, more often than not hitting some innocent bystander.
