The Jackal of An-Nadr follows the capture of Nadeem, a date-farmer turned thief who was abandoned in the wastes of the desert when he tried to pick the wrong pocket. 

Stranded and alone, he is found and enslaved by a crew of ifrit—towering demons that now roam the An-Nadr in ships that can sail the sand. Will he become a plaything of the creatures from his nightmares? Or is there something more for him waiting in the hands of his would-be captors?

☾ - sleep headcanon

Yeezumon snores softly in his sleep, and (to absolutely no one's surprise) will usually keep himself wrapped protectively around the nearest breathing thing.

☠ - angry/violent headcanon

When Wes truly gets angry, you'll know it because his entire expression just suddenly slams shut. His is a cold, cold anger. And while his voice may be eerily calm, his scarred-up fists will be shaking by his sides.
