Description: Nur al-Allah is the leader of the Nur al-Allah fundamentalist Islamic sect. This sect preaches that jokers are abominations who should be wiped clean from the face of the Earth. Nur himself is an ace; his skin glows bright green (the sacred color of Allah), and his voice is hypnotically compelling, allowing him to sway crowds to believe his fanatical views.

Nur is based in Syria, although he desires to rule all of the Middle East. His main aims are the destruction of Israel and the elimination of all jokers. After Misha (Kahina), his sister, cut his vocal cords, Nur's ace powers were effectively destroyed, although he still remained in command of the Nur sect.

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Simply changing the color of his images as well as his religion allows you to customize Nur for nearly any setting or campaign. For example, you could use him in a Fantasy Hero campaign, at which point his powers might just have a divine origin.
