Ma'aruf

Ma'aruf was an ifrit.

Appearance
Ma'aruf was a djinni with skin the color of polished lapis lazuli, and red eyes who wore Nehiri-style turban, baggy pants, and golden chain around eacg wrist.

Bound
The sorcerer Mandana made a bargain with Ma'aruf, who became her enforcer. He was bound to her will, practically her slave.

Roaming Free
In 1123 an Unicorn delegation arrived to al-Zawira, led by Shinjo Shono. The Unicorn were currently at war within their Empire, against the Lion Clan, and the caliph saw it as the moment to claim the lands inhabitated by any Qamarist, including those under the Unicorn rule, such as the Sand Road. Shono, heir of his clan, failed with his negotations with the Caliph, who ordered Mandana to capture him, and in turn Mandana commanded Ma'aruf to bring him alive. Once Shono was on chains, Mandana removed one of his eyes and ate it, the beginnings of a ritual which would put Shono's body under her full control. Eventually her prisoner escaped, and the Ma'aruf manipulated the orders given by the sorcerer to roam free the Burning Sands, far from his master.
