Biha Babir

Biha Babir
Biha Babir
Scheming Marid Ruler
The calculating Biha Babir rules the pelagic city of Maran Saya in Calimshan. Though her physical form is as fluid as the ocean itself, she typically presents as a marid crowned in coral, with her lower half lengthening into a sinewy, eel-like tail.
History
Before becoming ruler of Maran Saya, Biha Babir worked as a spy. She has traveled across Calimshan, infiltrating rival genie courts and eliminating remnants of the Twisted Rune. Some accounts even tell of her fighting alongside Sultana Songal during the Night of Fleeing Shadows.
Biha Babir took up leadership of Maran Saya after the previous ruler, her father, retired. People
know her as a shrewd ruler, preferring battles of wit over clashes of swords. Of the genie leaders in Calimshan, Biha Babir maintains the strongest spy network, and she is rumored to have informants in every major city of the region.
For years, Biha Babir has searched tirelessly for the Calimemnon Crystal (see chapter 8), the legendary prison of the powerful genies Calim and Memnon. She believes obtaining that crystal would allow her to wipe Calimshan off the map and seize control of whatever genie empire rises from the wreckage.
Personality
Biha Babir's demeanor is like the ocean: seemingly placid on the surface, but dangerous and fierce deep below. Her amiable attitude hides a cunning mind. Biha Babir is politically savvy and prefers to outsmart her opponents rather than battle them, though she doesn't shy from combat if necessary.
Biha Babir covets opulence, but she also values information and learning just as much as material wealth. Offering valuable information is a surefire way to gain an audience with the her, but those caught lying to her are severely punished.
