Sadrazam Asthwihad

Sadrazam Asthwihad

Grand Vizier to Queen Megiddon Apokaluptein and thus Second In Command of The Abyssal Feonds.

She is placed in charge of the invasion of Earth while The Queen is in hibernation to recover her strength and it is her plans that drive most of the conflict between the villains and the magical girls.  

She serves as a Mouth Of Sauron type who carries out The Queen's Will and often preaches her word to the Feonds.

While a powerful sorceress in her own right she prefers her position of authority over going out and fighting on her own though she is more than willing to do that if their Goddess demands it. 

When Sadrazam does join the frontlines she is ruthlessly pragmatic and efficient, skipping a lot of the fluff and immediately going for the kill. She doesn't gloat or toy with her targets, never indulges in evil gloating, never explains anything as just between you and me, etc and just attacks the heroes using the simplest and most ruthless means at her disposal. 

Her absolute loyalty to their Goddess above all else is unshakeable and once she awakens around the halfway point of the series, Sadra happily steps back into her second in command position.

Her name essentially means High Executive Officer Who Dissolves Bones and it comes from the Ottoman Turkish word for Grand Vizier and Zoroastrian name for the Demon Of Death.

Grand vizier (Persian: وزيرِ اعظم‎, romanized: vazîr-i aʾzam; Ottoman Turkish: صدر اعظم‎ sadr-ı aʾzam, Turkish: sadrazam) was the title of the effective head of government of many sovereign states in the Islamic world.

ASTWIHĀD (Av. Astō.vīδōtu, lit. “he who dissolves the bones, bone-breaker, divider of the body”), the demon of death in the Avesta (Vd. 4.49, 5.8-9) and later Zoroastrian texts. He destroys life in cooperation with Vāyu, and none can escape him (Aogəmadaēčā 57.73). In Pahlavi literature he is identified with the Evil Wāy (q.v.): “Astwihād is the Evil Wāy who carries the breath-soul away. As it is said: When he touches a man with his hand, it is sleep; when he casts his shadow on him, it is fever; and when he looks upon him with his eyes, he deprives him of the breath-soul” (Bundahišn, p. 186.12). Astwihād was sent by Ahriman to cast his fatal noose on Gayōmard (cf. the noose of Vedic Yama), and he is one of the evil assessors of the soul at its judgment. His meaning is summed up in Dādestān ī Dēnīg 36.38: “Astwihād is explained as the disintegration of material beings” (astwihād wizārīhēd astōmandān wišōbagīh).[1]
