Abdul Alhazred (Lovecraft)

Abdul Alhazred.

Arabic male of undetermined age. He lived at or around the 7th-8th century AD and is the author of the infamous Necronomicon, a book of magic so evil that it invariably drives the users totally, irredeemably insane. The book is variously ascribed as covering aspects of necromancy or demonology, and could be said to cover both.

Death.

Abdul Alhazred died at an unknown date when, while walking through a market place somewhere in the middle east. He was ripped to shreds by invisible demons after being lifted into the air by said demons.

Powers.

Highly accomplished sorceror. True extent of powers unknown.

Abdul Alhazred features throughout the Howard Philips Lovecraft Mythos, though he is never described in detail and in the original cannon is only a name, never seen or heard.
