[edit] Villains of Ibn-e-Safi's Imran Series
[edit] Sing Hee
He is the most genius and treacherous villain who appears both in Jasoosi Duniya and Imran Series. Sing was born to a Chinese father and Mongolian mother, and is forced to leave his country after a failed coup d’etat. Since then he has moved from country to country, trying to avail all opportunities to display his criminal, lustful, and avaricious nature. He is very thin in appearance with a visibly weak physique, but is actually very strong. He is famous, among those who somewhat know him, as “jonk” (leech) because of his ability to clench his enemy, leading to their suffocation and unconsciousness.
He first appears in Neeli Lakeer. He is a colleague of archeologist Arthur, who discovers the body of an ancient princess buried in the snows of mountain Alpom. A silver sheet is wrapped around the neck of the body, with some scriptures indicating a hidden treasure. He once mocks Faridi and gets slapped so hard by the other man that he stumbles several steps across the room. Instead of displaying his rage instantly, he shrugs it off by saying that many bums have slapped him, but it is an honor to have been smacked by such a reputable celebrity as Faridi. It is quite obvious that he keeps his anger confined, fueling his hatred and vengeance for a more suitable event. Such is his control over his emotions, making him even more dangerous. Faridi gets back the silver sheet to return to the government of Chile but Sing Hee manages to escape and then steals the sheet from the custody of the government in Khooni Bagoolay and travels to South America in quest of the treasure. Faridi follows him up to “Taareek Vadi” (Black Valley) but at the last moment Sing Hee escapes by jumping into a cave. Sing Hee’s next appearance is in Lashoan Ka Bazaar in Imran Series. Faridi has further encounters with him in Raushan Hayoola, Zard Fitnaa and Zehreela Sayaarah
Imran first meets Sing Hee in London, in Lashoan Ka Bazaar, where Imran is conducting research in criminology. A criminal named McLawrence has terrorized the city. Imran tries to investigate the situation, and comes across Sing Hee. Sing had devised a technique by which he is able to dodge any bullets fired on him by judging the hand movements of the assailant, and moving swiftly. Sing Hee performs it in front of Imran once, and Imran asks him to do it again. That is enough for Imran to grasp the technique involved. Then Imran surprises Sing Hee by challenging him to shoot at him; Sing Hee cannot believe his eyes when he is unable to shoot Imran. Despite the fact that both characters are bloodthirsty for each other, the evil con man declares Imran to be his rightful nephew in the cunning art.
Their next meeting takes place in Joank Ki Wapsee. Now Sing is working for Zeroland. This story line continues in Zehreeli Tasweer and Baebaakon Ki Talaash. Sing Hee is unable to kill Imran, because Zeroland requires that Imran remain alive. Sing Hee is the major villain in many other novels such as Seh Rangee Maut, Muta-Harrik Dhaariyaan, Joank Aur Naagan, Halaakat Khaez, Zebra Maen, and Jangal Ki Sheheriyat. He is very brave criminal.
[edit] Humbug the Great
Humbug the Great is an international criminal. He has a hump on his back. He plays various roles simultaneously. Sometimes he is found in a third-rate bar flirting with the old and ugly barmaid. At the same time, he also appears as the husband of a beautiful woman, the Rani of Sajid Nagar. He is a foreign spy, who plans to start a revolution in Imran’s country. Ibne Safi had written the first two novels of this storyline, Dilchasp Hadisaa and Bay-Awaaz Sayyarah, when he fell sick for three years. The third and final of the Humbug series, Daerh Matwaalay, was written after his recovery.
[edit] Theresia - Bumble-Bee of Bohemia
Ibne Safi has written many novels based around the character of Theresia. She is a very smart lady who represents Zeroland. She has the ability to change her expressions in such a manner that it becomes almost impossible to recognize her. She is very impressed with Imran’s personality, in fact she is in love with him. She first appears in Kaalay Charaagh. She apperas in many other novels such as; Khoon Kay Piyaasay, Alphansay, Darandoan Ki Basti, Piyaasa Samandar, Seh Rangee Maut, Sugar Bank, Mutaharrik Dhaariyaan, Joank Aur Naagan, Halaakat Khaez, Zebra Maen, Jangal Ki Sheheriyat, Zulmat Ak Devta.
