Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazan

Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazan is a noble efreeti and the Sultan of the Efreet who rules his subjects from the City of Brass in the Elemental Plane of Fire.  

Description

Marrake sports a small goatee, eyes of sparking flame, and sharp elongated claws. He typically garbs himself in armor and materials that could resist intense heat and flame. White-hot iron armor and intricate pantaloons of blackened adamantine links are his most common attire.   Due to his status as Sultan of the Efreet, Marrake is surrounded by an aura of pale red fire and smoke that persists until his death. This effect is transferred from sultan to sultan.

Personality

As Sultan of the Efreet, Marrake is able to indulge any whim he cares for. Interestingly, however, he is a creature of few pleasures and rarely even visits his harem of a hundred and one courtesans. He is instead a lover of gambling on races, particularly those involving his prized nightmares, Eversmoke and Black Onyx. His love of these steeds is such that it has even led to rumors that he slept in their stables before important races. Sometimes his wagers resulted in near bankruptcies for the city's treasury.   Marrake is a tyrannical ruler who cares little for the everyday workings of the City of Brass and beyond occasionally judging over matters among the noble efreet, he tends to leave most other matters to his vizier.

Abilities

A powerful example of efreet kind, Marrake has access to a wide array of fire magic and is impervious to all forms of fire. As the Sultan of Efreet, Marrake is continuously surrounded by a corona of pale red fire and a ring of smoke that hoveres over his head. This nimbus has the ability to harm any within 10 ft who are not shielded against both fire and poison. This effect can not be quenched by any degree of water or magic and would only end when the Sultan dies and a successor replaces him.

History

Although numerous Sultans have ruled the City of Brass over the millennia, at some point Marrake al-Sidan al Hariq ben Lazan undertook the rite of succession to gain the Sultan's fire. By 123ha, at least, he was the undisputed ruler of the city.
