Ambassador Jabari

Ambassador Jabari is a Menaphite who was sent by The Pharaoh to discuss important matters with Emir Shah of Al Kharid, namely to have a menaphite rule the town, with the emir ill and his son Prince Ali kidnapped by Lady Keli. He is cunning and often gets into an argument with Osman, while still trying to remain diplomatic. His offer does not make him popular with the people and Osman and even the emir are keen to speak bad of him, with only grand vizier Hassan seeming oblivious to the ambassador's malevolent intentions. His offer is declined by the already dying emir, after which he is escorted out of the room by Hassan the chancellor.

At the end of Diamond in the Rough, it is revealed that Jabari is a loyal servant of Amascut the Devourer and that he is the cause of the emir's death, which occurred shortly after he'd left, by having put poison in the emir's incense burners. He is sent to the pharaoh to deal with the rest of the business while Jabari's mistress disguises herself as the wanderer in her tent.
