Jaddar
Character. His name is Jaddar and he is a human! He is the most virulent and rotten vizier of the Nabadeen palace. Even the shah himself abhors this guy, but keeps him around only because of his adder menace and useful ploys. Jaddar is way more intelligent than anybody in the palace, he is an effective weapon against the unwilling and unwanted 'crooks' of the kingdom.
The shah himself could not produce enough of malice to subdue his foes. Even the ruler cannot infuse that much of fear to inquest his potential traitors. When he needs a weapon of sublime diplomacy — he calls for his adder henchman. He is cunningly using his younger brother Raffaj to infiltrate his schemes into action, oftentimes leaving no traces to the throne. He never truly cares using anyone at all.
Long tongues say, Jaddar even knows the pathways to the underground library, which is located next to the underground prison of the palace. A heinous place to where Jaddar and his shah with all easiness cast down the prosecuted ones. At nights, the library is filled with moans and wailing of the tortured ones. Jaddar merely closes his eyes and smirks.
