Biography

Wishmaster

The Djinn was an ancient creature that was born when God breathed life into the universe. At the time, the Light was used to give birth to the Angels while Earth gave birth to Man and Fire gave birth to the Djinn. These creatures were condemned to live in the void between the worlds though yearned to be free on the Earth once more. In order to do so, they required to be summoned after which they gave three wishes, upon the completion of the third wish, the unholy legions of the Djinn would be free to rule the Earth. This was why the Djinn were feared by those aware of their origins.

One Djinn was awakened in 1127 A.D. in Persia by the emperor. Upon the Persian emperors second wish, he asked the Djinn to astonish him and show him wonders. In response to this, the Djinn used his powers to torture and mutilate the people in the palace with their bodies slamming through walls whereupon their skeletons were pulled from their bodies. The Djinn then demanded that the emperor finish his third wish so he could open the gateway for his kin in the void. However, the sorcerer Zoroaster arrived and interrupted the casting of the last wish by telling the emperor that the armies of the Djinn would be free if the third wish was granted. Before the Djinn could stop this interloper, the sorcerer spoke the words "Nib Shuggarath Bahim" whilst holding a fire opal. Casting the spell, the Djinn was sucked into the jewel where he was to be trapped for all of time.

Beyond the Gates of Hell

Afterwards, his tomb containing his jewel within the box was discovered by a teenager named Diana Collins who accidentally freed the Djinn. After gaining his freedom, he found Professor Barash who was asked wishes that were to be granted. The many asked for two of the world's loveliest ladies to be in love with him but the Djinn made the two fight over him to the point that they killed him. With him dead, the Djinn took the face of the dead professor and stole his identity in order to operate in the human world.

Being a member of the fiery Djinn species, he possessed a number of superhuman abilities that stemmed from his magic. This included being a shapeshifter allowing him to change his form at will.

As a Djinn, he possessed the capacity to grant wishes to those who possessed his gem. This allowed it to resurrect the dead, move objects and kill people easily. This was part of the wishes but the Djinn was perfectly capable of using its powers without being asked for a wish.
