Pahani Julmu

Pahani Julmu is a recurring character in the comic strip Fingerpori by Pertti Jarla and some of its stage adaptations.

Biography
Julmu is depicted as a fez-wearing criminal mastermind and "Fingerpori's sixth most feared mad genius" who controls the town's criminal underworld. As such, he's often shown committing criminal activities, such as theft/robbery and trying to ward off police officers who had surrounded a building he's in with explosives. However, there's also a few strips which show him doing activities outside of the criminal world, such as getting into a conflict with an old woman in traffic and testing the magic of running to a pond naked during a Midsummer Night can occasionally be seen on album covers. He's often accompanied by Sam Makkonen and a few generic henchmen during his criminal activities.

Personality
A criminal mastermind and mad genius, Julmu is shown to be an intelligent and intimidating individual with a vast knowledge of how to engage in criminal activity which has earned him his status among the most feared people within the town of Fingerpori, even though the other mad geniuses have not been seen. He has occasionally been shown to occasionally do some mistakes, though, such as when he arrived in Tampere by accident by foot in the strip featuring the aforementioned Midsummer Night incident.

Trivia

 * Fingerpori is a coastal town located in an unspecified part of Finland the Northern neighbour of which is Mordor (the base of the Orcs and Sauron in The Lord of the Rings lore) and the Southern one is the Vatican City (the independent city state where the Pope lives and where Roman Catholicism's highest lead is located in) while Tampere is an inland city located in Western Finland and is the provincial centre of Pirkanmaa. Because of this it's unknown how Pahani Julmu arrived in Tampere in the aforementioned strip in the first place.
 * It is extremely rare to see Julmu without his fez. The only exceptions to this rule are strips in which he disguises himself as someone else in an attempt to commit some major crime so he wouldn't be recognized so easily.
 * His name and appearance bear striking resemblance to that of Finnish painter Juhani Palmu.
