A former Genie Lord, Kazom is a 3000+ year old Genie who exists in the form of a witch familiar while still serving as a genie to a teenage boy in California.
In her role as Haji's First, Lahab leads Haji's Harem. She is a Jann genie, one of the few elementals left in the world. She and Kazom are "old friends".
Glowing eyes are a bugaboo of mine: thermodynamics says that photo receptors must be black for maximum sensitivity. (The greenish glow of some animal eyes is not, in fact, a glow, but a reflection. The reflective layer is behind the rod and cone cells, giving incoming photons a second chance to be collected.)
But if you really DO want glowing photoreceptors, you can: you just need the glow in narrow band you don’t mind filtering out from signal. Glowing yellow eyes can still see blue perfectly.
a quick google tell me it’s a highly intelligent and powerful shape shifting jinn who typically disguises as a young beautiful woman. though they’re true form is said to be centaur-like.
They’re also supposed to be the genies most interested in humans, and the ones most likely to grant wishes, and to be associated with totems like bottles, rings, lamps, etc. The often get confused with ifrits, which are more like the Western demons, and are supposed to be the ones that Suleiman sealed away.
If you remember from way back, (Comic 8 I think), when Neil was reading the ‘Genie Help Book’. He indicated that there were multiple types of Genies.
Those Genies types are also broken down into Sub-classes.
For example, most ‘traditional’ genies you see in the comic are Si’lat genies (Though they aren’t centaurs, we’re ignoring that part). Then you have the sub-classes, (Eg Bottle Genies).
Latab is more of a elemental type (Jann) Genie. Weaker and considered by many Genies to be a lesser class. Therefore Latab pretends to be a older Si’lat Genie (old equals wiser to many) so she will be listen to and have the respect of the rest of the harem as well as other genies.
How old is Lahab then? She’s an old friend of Kazom’s, and Kazom is over 3,000 years old. If she’s pretending to be old for a Si’lat genie, what’s that, 10,000 years?
if you go to EmperorNortonII’s DA Gallery page, type in Si’lats, you’ll see for yourself. as for Lahab, she will get along with the genies in EmperorNortonII’s gallery, because all the genies treat each other with love and kindness.
But in her other (older?) form she does have a belly button.
And I will also pose the question – while the fiery form is her “natural” form, is it her “original” form? There is a little bit of a distinction there.
I did a google search and I came up with that a Jenn is made up of four elements and are generally weaker than the other Genie and the other Genie kind of look down on them. They generally don’t either like or trust humans either. Then there are also half Jenn which appear to be half human. That all that I can find on this matter.
C.D. may have done some actual research into Jinn lore for this one. And does anyone else see a resemblance between this and the tea-and-scone tete-a-tete Pandora and Heka had last year in El Goonish Shive?
And I think Lahab’s real bod pretty much explains why she’s Haji’s First.
Got to give Kazom props for more character. Instead of crushing on Lahab, he took a turn for the nurse.
We had issues with a commenter a while back that used ‘Anonymous’ in there handle. So the website flags comments with Anonymous in it till someone can review the comment.
What I find interesting here is the vague feeling of relief? Do genies enjoy being in their natural form rather then lingering in another? That could have implications for Jean.
“That could have implications for Jean.”
Not necessarily, a blonde female could be her new natural form, which is why early in the comic she was unable, try as she might, to change back into a guy. (https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=06222009)
Yelp, that Jean or should I say Jeannie new core being now. But, now she has to get use it. Which is going to take some time for it to happen. Kazom also told Jeannie that that is in fact her new Core Being from here on out, forever. He also told her, that after some experience that she could do some cosmetic alteration to herself if she like, but, it take a lot of energy to do that and it still doesn’t change her Core Being, because, it has already been fix forever as a Genie, which will never change.
I have a feeling I know the direction the next few lines may take:
Kazom: “I’m curious, Lahab, why did they feel it necessary to keep me out of the library?”
Lahab: “The library? I have no idea what you’re referring to, dear.”
Kazom: “You know, the magical barrier.”
Lahab: “Barrier?… No one put up any barrier.”
It’s interesting to see Lahab’s transformation for Kazom. I enjoyed the creative development in her character’s appearance, and Kazom’s acceptance of who she really is. This digital art shows a really beautiful expression of change in her character. I can’t wait to see more of Lehab and Kazom’s interactions in the future!
Don’t forget that Kazom is over 3000 years old or more, that when he stop counting how old he was. So he could be much older than that even. So Lehab could have been just when Kazom was still running around in his human form as Genie Lord even back then, so Kazom would know who she is and so she doesn’t need to hide who she is around him. There is no guarantee that even Haji would know that she a Jann Genie even. As far as all the other Genie they probably don’t know either, with the possible exception of the Blue Dijj Genie.
Concealing something like that from others is one thing… but concealing it from Haji himself seems very unlikely to me. There is no motive to hide it assuming itβs even possible to hide ones genie nature from the lord of all genies.
Ok…. love the new look, but those eyes are creepy as hell. ^^;;
Glowing eyes are a bugaboo of mine: thermodynamics says that photo receptors must be black for maximum sensitivity. (The greenish glow of some animal eyes is not, in fact, a glow, but a reflection. The reflective layer is behind the rod and cone cells, giving incoming photons a second chance to be collected.)
I’m pretty sure genie magic lets their bodies give the finger to thermodynamics.
Genies according to Arabian folklore are made of smokeless flame, so glowing eyes are appropriate.
Who’s saying she is using those eyes to see?
But if you really DO want glowing photoreceptors, you can: you just need the glow in narrow band you don’t mind filtering out from signal. Glowing yellow eyes can still see blue perfectly.
Have you forgotten that Jean can make fiery eyes?
Laws of chemistry for chemistry beings like humans.. mythical laws for mythical beings like genies.
@Tom:
You can’t hide, your fiery eyes.
And your smile is a thin disguise;
I thought by now, you’d realize,
There ain’t no way to hide your fiery eyes.
Ok, now I can see why Haji has her as his first. A true fiery red-head π
So Lahat is one of the jann jinn, the lowest type of jinn. No wonder she covers it up.
Where are you getting the info that they’re the lowest type of djinn?
See the book “the Golden Bow” it is a study of world wide folk lore.
Or see Robert Lebling: Legends of the fire spirits.
@Lara: That’s The Golden BOUGH, as in “when the bough breaks”. I read an abridged version many years ago. Homonym.
There’s also a Jinn wikia site that holds general knowledge about genies apparently too. http://jinn.wikia.com/wiki/Jinn_Wikia
Yes it is, i had had forgotten ,that happens ather fifty years or so.
Can anyone help define what Siβlat Genies would mean?
a quick google tell me it’s a highly intelligent and powerful shape shifting jinn who typically disguises as a young beautiful woman. though they’re true form is said to be centaur-like.

I note with approval that as a created being, she has no belly button.
Is she wearing lingerie, or are her sexy parts actually flaming? It’s a great effect, anyway.
I’m pretty sure that her lingerie is made of fire.
… it’s not part of her body?
Hm. That must make it a bit difficult to do the laundry. I wonder what she uses for detergent… anthracite?
But in her other (older?) form she does have a belly button.
And I will also pose the question – while the fiery form is her “natural” form, is it her “original” form? There is a little bit of a distinction there.
But the old-appearing form is a disguise. Everything about it is made up.
which means all the other genies are wrong. because I’m sure CD knows that even if Genies have belly buttons they are no allowed to show them. π
I did a google search and I came up with that a Jenn is made up of four elements and are generally weaker than the other Genie and the other Genie kind of look down on them. They generally don’t either like or trust humans either. Then there are also half Jenn which appear to be half human. That all that I can find on this matter.
Yeees, but was that information from D&D sourcebooks or original mythology?
Her attire is similar to a scale maille bikini I made a few years ago. I like it.
C.D. may have done some actual research into Jinn lore for this one. And does anyone else see a resemblance between this and the tea-and-scone tete-a-tete Pandora and Heka had last year in El Goonish Shive?

CD? Research? NAH!
Not many Jann Genies left because they’re all turning into Febb Genies. Time Marches on….
What did I do wrong that all my comments end up as “awaiting moderation”?
We had issues with a commenter a while back that used ‘Anonymous’ in there handle. So the website flags comments with Anonymous in it till someone can review the comment.
Ah, well, perhaps I’ll change my nick, then.
You could always go with – Anonabell an Anon mouse
I suppose the story behind this will be…interesting. But the others all were, so there’s no reason to doubt this one will be, too.
What a hottie.
Go.To.Your. ROOM!!

Queue the fire/hot puns!
Should we bring marshmallows?
Aloe, lots and lots of Aloe,
Just to add I really like how she explodes out of the panel. It seems to emphasise how other worldly she is.

I keep getting attacked by” wp-embed.min.js ” every time I go to your site today. I have to turn my pc off to stop it.
Antivirus said the source is ” Jennie bottle.com” web site .
Do you use adblock or noscript? If not then try those. It is more than likely a bitcoin miner embedded in an ad.
Kazom: I prefer the real Lahab.
I said the real Lahab.
Perfection.
