Golden Dervish King is said to be a protegé of Fire God – the truth of this is unknown, but his mastery of the Fire Sutra techniques cannot be questioned. The stories about him tend to diverge wildly – some claiming that he is terrible but enlightened, others that he is remorseless and only too eager to burn his enemies to cinders. They may all be right. Golden Dervish King is in his fifties, and dresses in layer upon layer of orange and red robes, wears golden rings on his fingers, in his ears (which have elongated lobes) and on his arms. The rings all glow red hot when he is using his Fire Sutra techniques, which doesn’t seem to bother him. His skin is very dark; his eyes are merely white milky spheres, like those of a blind man. The hair on his head is shaven into strange patterns close to his skull and his forehead is marked with odd series of ritual dots of Bharatan origin.
