Maharaja Arijani

Arijani is the Rakshasa Darklord of Sri Raji. He is the son of the Rakshasa deity Ravana and Mahiji. Although he is a talented illusionist, Arijani cannot disguise himself in a pleasing form, as most rakshasa do. Instead, he can only assume despicable aspects, such as that of the viewer's worst enemy. Maharaja Arijani resides in Mahakala, in Bahru

Arijani is served by the Dark Sisters, whom through him, must provide to Kali daily human sacrifice.

Background

Arijani is a traitor to his kind and to his father, Ravana (or rather, the Avatar of Ravana). Because Ravana is a deity venerated by the rakshasa, Arijani's mother was Mahiji, then high priest of the hated goddess Kali and a leader of the Dark Sisters. To compound things, the Avatar of Kali delivered Arijanni to a home of lower caste rank, living as an pariah in rakshasa society.
