![[HusamAlBalilPathfinder.webp]] # Husam al-Balil ben Nafhat al-Yugayyim _Djinn Great Caliph | [[Djinni Caliphate]] | [[Citadel of Ice and Steel]]_ ## Summary Great Caliph of the Djinn, Master of the Clouds, and Son of the Breezes, ruling all djinn from the [[Citadel of Ice and Steel]]. When [[Lia]] sought his aid against [[Mab]], he arranged a diplomatic marriage between his daughter and [[Puck]], letting Puck recruit an army of djinn warriors for the final assault on [[Ramnus]] and the victory over the [[Shadow Court]]. %% ## Now _placeholder_ ## Appearance A regal djinn of imposing stature with olive skin and flowing azure-and-gold robes that billow without wind, his beard groomed and adorned with gems. ## Personality Brilliant but flighty, prone to grand gestures and political meddling; he cannot help but make even simple statements sound like royal decrees. He prefers elaborate schemes to direct action and values honor and ancient alliances. Rarely leaves the [[Citadel of Ice and Steel]], but when he does his arrival is announced by a great gust of wind. ## Quote _"What can withstand the storm's scream? The lightning's spear? The want of sweet breath? Air is the mightiest of elements—respect its power."_ ## Connections **[[Puck]]** — married his daughter in the alliance that raised the djinn army. **[[Lia]]** — sought his aid against [[Mab]]. ## Background **The Alliance:** Commands 400 jann and 100 djinn from his fortress. When [[Lia]] came seeking help against [[Mab]], he arranged the marriage between his daughter and [[Puck]] — classic Husam, extending djinn influence through a scheme rather than a war — which proved instrumental in the assault on [[Ramnus]]. ## Stats **Base:** Djinni (MM p.144), modified. - Legendary Actions (3/round). %%
