Alif'al'awhadi

Alif'al'awhadi is an efreeti that lives in the City of Brass on the Elemental Plane of Fire. He is a known Soul Breaker, a being that trades in souls of mortals. He makes contracts with mortals in order to reap souls and use them in the 9 Hells as currency to further his ambitions. He was once a members of the 1001 Efreeti Knights, an elite fighting unit of the Djinn Empire. He managed to escape the final defeat of the empire by leaping through a portal to the City of Brass. It was after this that he ended up as a Soul Breaker and has been working deals ever since.

Personality
Alif is vain and bold, he drapes himself in the finest fabrics, and is always seen wearing precious metals and jewels. Platinum, gold, and silver are often on his fingers and ears, and he will run platinum and gold wire through his hair and around his horns. He enjoys the finest things in life, food and drink and pleasurable company. But when one breaks their contract with him, he is known to turn into a fearsome being that will raze cities to take the price he feels is due. He will honor the word of his agreements, but it is not wise to test him.

He also despises djinn, seeing their leadership of the Empire as a travesty that lead to their people being broken. He also has a disdain for marids, due to their watery nature.

In Search of a Soul
A group of adventurers, lead by the goliath barbarian Volo, ended up being transported to the City of Brass in pursuit of her brother that had betrayed their family and stolen the soul of their father. Alif offered his aid in returning the soul to Volo, in exchange, he wanted a local devil in the city dealt with that was interfering with his business ventures. When they killed the devil, he returned the soul to them, honoring his contract with them and sent them on their way, though he offered to make further contracts with them, if their hearts so desired.

Soul Breaker/Soul Exchange
Alif is known to travel between the City of Brass, and to the first level of the 9 Hells, Avernus. He does this in order to buy and sell souls, which he uses to further his ambitions. He always seeks to find strong souls, hoping to one day find enough to free his comrades that were long ago sealed away.

Deal Maker/Deal Breaker
As a genie, he has the ability to grant wishes. As such, he is a lawful being, and will honor the contracts he creates with mortals.
