Jabor

Jabor (juh-bor), a greater djinni in the service of Simon Lovelace, is introduced and ultimately destroyed in The Amulet of Samarkand. A powerful Djinni, his preferred form is that of a tall red-skinned man with the head of a jackal, reminiscent of Anubis, Egyptian god in charge of guarding the dead. He previously worked at the temple in Ombos Egypt, where he devoured human sacrifices. He speaks rarely, and relies on brute strength and violence, often disregarding injury to himself. Bartimaeus describes him as "moronically strong to the point of indestructible". On Lovelace's orders he helped break Bartimaeus out of the Tower of London, devouring and slaying many spirits, and killed Arthur and Martha Underwood. In the end he is destroyed by Bartimaeus during their battle, when Bartimaeus traps him and forces him into a rift, ripping him apart from the draw back to the Other Place and the magic of Lovelace.
