Jalal is one of the characters in The Wrath and the Dawn book series.

Apperance
Jalal has wavy mahogany hair, and is handsome. He is "broad-shouldered, trim-waisted."

Personality
Jalal is a womanizer, and enormous flirt. He is generally lighthearted, and can come off as flippant about many things. However, he is Captain of the Guard, and so has doubtlessly proved himself competent in matters of serious import.

Information
Jalal is the Captain of the Guard, and son of the Shahrban of Rey. He was close friends with Hassan Ibn al-Rashid, and after his death reached out to Khalid. Despite claiming he was rebuffed, their relationship was seen to be rather close, and Khalid was remarkably tolerant of his quirks. This relationship comes under fire when Despina leaves Rey, and Jalal belives that Khalid orchastrated those events. He is in love with Despina, and is the father of her child.
