YMMV / Rebel of the Sands

• Complete Monster: Sultan Oman Al-Hasim bin Izman is the despotic ruler of Miraji who will do anything to maintain control over the country. As a young man, the Sultan made a deal with the Gallan Empire to stage a violent coup, killing his father and many of his brothers to assume the throne. Once in power, the Sultan allowed the Gallan to execute any non-human citizens they found and supplied them with weapons for their wars. The Sultan also began to keep a Royal Harem, buying women from slavers to fill it. Years later, the Sultan finds the powerful Demdji Noorsham, and planning on betraying the Gallans, takes control of Demdji and has him incinerate the entire city of Dassama to kill the Gallan presence and tries to do the same to the city Fahali. Capturing heroine Amani, the Sultan manipulates her into leaking information he wants to the rebellion to allow him to brutally crack down on them while they're distracted. The Sultan then forces Amani to summon dozens of Djinn and kills one to use his soul to power the mighty Abdal constructs, using them to slaughter all of the visiting foreign rulers. After this, the Sultan kills his son Kadir for being an unworthy heir and captures most of the rebellion. The Sultan orders Ahmed to be executed and sends the rest to be worked to death. Despite the Sultan's claims that he only wanted what's best for his country, he was only interested in keeping control over Miraji.
