Caliph Arenschadd

Caliph Arenschadd is a wizard with a bad temper and the ruler of a kingdom. If her were a regular caliph, he would chop off heads instead of cursing people. Imani's father, Selim, is his grand vizier. He has a list of sixty-two curses, and you can often tell how long someone has been at court by what curse has befallen them. He also curses the victim and their family. Luckily, his curses only work one at a time, to by placing a new curse on someone, the old curse would be broken.

After the incident with the Lycanthropy, or the ability to turn into a wolf, curse (curse forty-eight), the caliph was convinced by Selim to just turn people blue, and the more Caliph Arenschadd cursed them, the bluer the person got. This was because the grand vizier told him how difficult some of the curses were and how people could still work if they were blue, which the caliph understood and agreed to.
