The Bartimaeus Trilogy/Characters


Spirits

Bartimaeus

One of the series' main protagonists. His chapters are always written in first person. Bartimaeus is a fourth (or fourteenth) level and ancient djinn, summoned in the trilogy by Nathaniel.


Faquarl


  • Alas, Poor Villain: Right before Nathaniel and Bartimaeus kill him, Faquarl implies that he envies the bond Bartimaeus has with Nathaniel.
  • Chef of Iron: He is inexplicably fond of taking the form of a meat-cleaver wielding chef
  • The Dragon: To Simon Lovelace, and later to Quentin Makepeace and Nouda.
    • Dragon-in-Chief: Faquarl may be weaker than Nouda, but Faquarl is the one who does most of the plotting for the spirit rebellion.
  • Evil Chef
  • Evil Counterpart: To Bartimaeus. The author even describes the relationship between the two as the friendship gone horribly wrong and that many similarities they share only magnify the enmity between them.
  • Magnificent Bastard: He plays every other villain in the series like a fiddle.
  • The Man Behind the Man
  • Not So Different: By stealing magician's body and starting a violent spirit revolt, he becomes the very thing he resents.
  • The Rival: To Bartimaeus.
  • Villainous Breakdown: He has one when he confronts Nathaniel and Bartimaeus, who are mind-linked together, and realizes that neither of them has any dominance over another.
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy: None of his forms are desribed as having white hair, but he has the personality down pat.
