Djinn (Wishmaster)

The Djinn, also called "The Wishmaster", is an ancient evil genie that is the main antagonist of the Wishmaster film series. His sole purpose is to grant 3 wishes to the one who woke him and free his fellow Djinn upon the Earth.

Wishmaster
The Djinn is but one of many similar entities, all of whom were trapped in the void between the worlds at the beginning of time. However, a prophecy forged by the Djinn themselves tells of a chosen one who will free them from their prison by granting a mortal three wishes, which will shatter the walls holding them back and set them free upon the earth. This chosen one is the Djinn we see throughout the series.

Though his purpose is to grant three wishes to his “waker,” the Djinn is capable of granting a seemingly infinite number wishes to people who didn't set him free. He is, however, quite sadistic in his fulfillment of these wishes, often turning them into horrible punishments or twisted nightmarish fantasies.

Like all of his kin, he cannot be killed (although he can still feel pain, as demonstrated in the first movie) The Djinn is one of the more powerful villains in horror, at least as powerful as Freddy Krueger and Pinhead - if not more so - his vast array of powers serving to make him a formidable opponent to any who would stand in his way.

However, in spite of his seemingly infinite capabilities, as the Djinn itself admits, it is not capable of doing anything through its powers without a mortal wishing it of him first. In fact, evidence seems to indicate that it is actually incapable of doing anything without first receiving a wish. If the wish isn't vague enough, he can't use it to kill the individual until he claims their soul (e.g. if someone wishes for $1'000'000, he has to make something happen to make it possible without immediately killing the one who made the wish).

IV: The Prophecy Fulfilled
The Djinn is awoken again. This time, the woman woke him, Lisa, is trying to win a case against a motorcycle company that was responsible for a faulty part that made her boyfriend Sam crash and break his legs. He steals the identity of her lawyer Steven, whom was secretly in love with the Djinn's target, and convinces her to wish to win the case. Faking a winning argument over the phone with the opposing lawyer, the Djinn tortures him into signing the agreement and kills him.

The Djinn next takes Lisa to an Indian themed restaurant called The Palace to celebrate the "victory". Pushing her to think of a wish, the Djinn grants her wish for Sam to walk again; but doesn't heal his broken bones. While having drinks at Steven's house later, the Djinn hears her rhetorically wish to love him for who he is. As his true self will horrify and repulse her, the Djinn sets out to learn about human love.

As his search to understand love continues, the Djinn finds a spark of genuine love for Lisa; while managing to drive off Sam and unintentionally murder Lisa's coworker by misunderstanding her wish for "killer sex" by giving the greatest orgasms until she died screaming from pleasure. He also learns Lisa is starving for sex; since Sam wouldn't attempt to during his depression.

After dealing with an angel trying to kill Lisa, the Djinn confesses as Steven about his feelings. Using his magic, the Djinn kisses Lisa to excite her libido. This leads to them making out in her living room and stripping; she pushes him onto the couch. They then copulate with such passiob, it ignites the fireplace and briefly allows the other Djinn to break free. Though Lisa is repelled by his business in asking if she loves him now. After realizing that the human way won't work, the Djinn reveals his true nature and offers to turn part of the world they will live in into an eternal paradise for her. Sam returns and wishes for a way to kill the Djinn; receiving a sword. The Djinn impaled Sam and Lisa seems to accept him so long as he uses Sam's form. However, this is a trick as the fatally wounded Sam rams into the Djinn with the sword in his body, killing him and letting Sam die in peace.

Trivia

 * The Djinn has had experience wooing women in the past; suggesting he took free time between wishes to indulge in carnal pleasures.
