Al-Malik 'Izz-Doresh al-Dahish ibn El-A'mash al-'Afrit

Al Malik I'zz-Doresh al-Dahish ibn El-A'mash al-'Afrit, called "the Malik" for short, is the sultan of the City of Brass. A powerful Named Spirit, the Malik is a Daimon, and can manifest his Aspect in different forms. The Basalt Pillar on the Forgotten Road (see later) is another aspect of the Daimon, and displays identical facial features to the physical 'afrit aspect. Because of Solomon's powerful magic, even a normally unbindable Daimonic Aspect like the Malik could be bound. One of the Malik's Aspects is bound in the Basalt Pillar and cannot be discarded — it cannot leave its prison in the mundane realm although the Daimon itself is free to move within the Magic Realm. If questioned in his different Aspects, the Malik will not lie about his identity, but he answers cryptically and elusively.

The Malik has not attempted to manifest an Aspect outside of the Magic Realm and the City of Brass, and does not know whether he can. He can discard the Aspect in the City of Brass and form a new one after a day, appearing upon his red carnelian throne in his palace. This allows him to create an Aspect with a refilled Might pool, and to manifest with a different set of powers if he so chooses. One example of an alternate power is the ability to bind spirits, as in the case of the ghost of King Kush. The locus of the Malik Aspect consists of the streets and walls of the City of Brass, the Palace, and all public buildings.
