Saiymir Ghulnis

Saiymir Ghulnis was born 48 years ago to a rich family in Sawaal. His father was a weak-willed silk merchant, and even young Saiymir could not help but notice how his father was ruled by his two wives. By five he had developed an irrational and insane obsession with flames. Ghulnis regarded flame as something alive, to be nurtured and fed. He spent his entire childhood starting fires, studying how they spread, devouring everything in their path. He learned to think like fire.
At the age of 12, when he could no longer tolerate the harsh words of his father's second wife, something inside him snapped. One night, while his father and mother were away, Ghulnis waited until the second wife went to sleep. He crept into her room, splashed her with lamp oil, and set her on fire. Financed by a fortune stolen from his fathers house before he burned it to the ground, Ghulnis disguised himself and joined a caravan bound for Mashhain, where he studied fire-based alchemy and soon joined the Inferno Cabal. As he grew older, his hatred of women, especially in positions of authority over men, blossomed like a roaring fire. He advanced quickly in the study of alchemy and put his powers to the test for the first time with the arson of a female judge's home in Mashhain. Only through the intervention of the Cabal was Ghulnis able to escape.
Ghulnis was whisked away to a secret stronghold near Renneh, where his skills were further tested and developed. Still, Ghulnis often grew bored of the training and would occasionally venture to different cities around the Kaspari Empire, starting waves of arson, always directed against influential women. There is by now a fortune in bounties placed on Ghulnis' head for arson in most of these cities. 
Ghulnis' most ambitious undertaking has been his recent attempt to incinerate the royal palace in Durqand during a birthday party for the Sultana. Fortunately, his plot was foiled. Ghulnis was forced to flee Durqand, but he vowed to learn from his mistake and succeed in his next attempt on the Sultana's life. It is particularly ironic that an avowed member of the Inferno Cabal has such an insane hatred of all women, when (though unknown to any of its members) the Cabal is run by a woman.
