Djinn,
AKA The Wishmaster

the Wishmaster film series (1997-)

The Djinn, an evil genie is awoken when the jewel he inhabits is discovered. If the person who woke him makes three wishes, his fellow Djinn will be free to create hell on Earth.

The Djinn is described thus;

Once, in a time before time, God breathed life into the universe. And the light gave birth to Angels. And the earth gave birth to Man. And the fire gave birth to the Djinn, creatures condemned to dwell in the void between the worlds. One who wakes a Djinn will be given three wishes. Upon the granting of the third, the unholy legions of the Djinn will be freed to rule the earth. Fear one thing in all there is...fear the Djinn.

In Persia during the year 1127 A.D. the Djinn asks a Persian emperor to make his second wish. The emperor asks the Djinn to astonish him and show him wonders. The Djinn uses his powers to torture and mutilate people in the palace, slamming them through walls and pulling their skeletons from their bodies. Before the emperor can make his third wish, Zoroaster, a sorcerer, interrupts and states that upon the third wish granted to the one who woke the Djinn, a gateway will open between the worlds and the evil race of Djinn can live on earth. The sorcerer then reveals a fire opal and begins chanting, "Nib Shuggarath Bahim". The Djinn is sucked into the jewel and hidden inside a statue till present day when he is discovered....and wreaks havoc on the unfortunate victim who finds the jewel!

SUMMARY

ARCH RIVAL :	The person who awakens him and whoever gets in the way.
STRENGTHS :	The Djinn has an unlimited life span and can cross dimensions when called upon. He also has near unlimited power.
WEAKNESSES :	The Djinn's power is also their only weakness, they are bound by the wishes they grant. Although these wishes are pretty much interpreted at the Djinn's whim he is still unable not to grant a wish that has been made of him. This usually proves his undoing as some bright spark ends up thinking of a wish that will seal him back in his little red stone.
WEAPONS :	His magical power's appear boundless, he can inflict any amount of damage on anyone he likes within the rules governing the wishes of course, therefore he has no real need of other weapons as such.
