Vikram

"Some stories have no morals. Sometimes it's just darkness and madness and simply that."

Vikram Qadar is an ʻIfrīt, one of the most powerful classes of jinn and the King of the Niṣka Kingdom. He falls under the authority of Kāẓem, Lord of the South.

He is also known as the "Golden One," or the "Golden-Eyed One," and is the nephew and heir of Saroch.

Appearance
Vikram often takes the human appearance of a handsome east-African man with intense, golden-brown eyes. In his jinn form, he gains two horn-like golden flames and his skin turns a reddish brown. His canine teeth also become more prominent and his black nails with turn to claws as his eyes start to glow a bright gold.

Personality
Vikram is rather tough to read, his motives being difficult to decipher based on his inconsistent behaviour and actions. As a tactician, however, this makes Vikram very skilled, if not bordering on genius.

Despite his oddities, he is generally calm, collected and treats his subordinates kindly, like family. He does not tolerate any disrespect, though.

Vikram was noted as having been naïve in his childhood days where most of his time was spent with his late mother. His outlook on life was simple while his life was only happy moments.

After the massacre, Vikram's personality had become drastically different. He was colder and more sinister, not bothering to hide his dark intentions as one of the "Rebellious Ones." After he reformed and converted, his personality became a lot calmer.

He can be a "bit" possessive and shows some hints of cruelty when he makes a point to Maryam, like flying her up and dropping her to catch her at the last minute.

History
Vikram was quite famous for being a devil before he reformed and converted. He took over his father's position as one of the Seven Kings.

Etymology
Vikram - (def.) valorous—one who is wise, brave and strong as well as victorious

Qadar - (def.) ''to darken; to cause to mourn. ''

Quotes

 * "I won't go handing you over to any other jinn. You're going to be my bride."

Maryam Sarokhova
She is the first human he ever came into contact with, and although he tends to get embarrassed by her, he is willing to do anything to protect her, even if it means risking his life. When they first met, the two promised to get married once Maryam was older.
