Who is more powerful, Faquarl or Jabor?
Also, how are they pronounced?

Is Queezle really really dead? 'Cos there's a huge argument debate going on about it...

Hi there,

Sorry about the long months without a reply.

Good question. I would say that in terms of raw, brute power, Jabor is the strongest. (He's the one who stays behind in the Tower of London to fight off all the Horlas.) But when you add in Faquarl's intelligence, cunning, and resilience, he's the one you'd put your shirt on in a fight: you need more than just brute strength to survive as a djinni.

Personally I pronounce them: Jay-bor and Fak-quarl.

All the best,

J

ps. I do think Queezle is dead. Mind you, we never saw the body.

Hmm... I would say that all factors considered, a big fallout between Jabor and Faquarl would be very unpredictable. (I usually pronouce Jabor is Juh-boor. Sounds more regal and exotic to me. :D)

If you think about how Bartimaeus defeated Jabor, he needed a factor even greater than that brawny Jabor - the great rift created by Ramuthra. If that rift or any great force were not present, I doubt Bartimaeus would've defeated Jabor (the Detonation he fired at Jabor crumbled on his shoulder).

Similarly, I think that Faquarl cannot defeat Jabor without the use of some greater force.

Additionally, when Jabor and Faquarl were facing off against the utukku, Jabor dispatched his utukku neatly and simply (nom nom), showing that he has some battle tactics. He is not just a berserking bloodlusting warrior- he knows how to fight strategically.

Faquarl, however, suffered a large wound fighting his utukku.

All in all, I think that Jabor is more powerful than Faquarl, and in a battle between the two, Jabor would probably win.

Yay Queeze! lol "queeze" I have fanfics in my head and Barti called Queezle that once

Queezle was funny-but remember, in every other case of Golem-spirit contact, the spirit died...
