El-Hajjâj

El-Hajjaj was a powerful wizard, and possibly one of the few people not copied in the Thousand-fold Refraction. He was the father of Nailah, and trained both her and Raghib in the arcane arts. He discovered the Lore of the Ancients and the prophecy of the One Made of Five, that Nailah became obsessed with. He escaped his daughter's wrath once, and hid in his castle with the blue Taysir hidden in a City in a Bottle and guarded by a Guardian Beast. He was thought dead after Raghib betrayed him, but after the white and blue Taysirs merged, he went to help Taysir and Raghib in Nailah's Sanctuary, and was almost killed by Nailah again.
