His Holiness the Bahbra Binki

In this his only formal portrait, Bahbra Binki, renowned Sufi master and dervish with the most consecutive gold metals in whirling, is seen here in full regalia and looking pensive. When pressed for the meanings of the symbols within the portrait, Binki swore it was standard fare for a dervish of his rank, looked around nervously, coughed in a violent manner and begged for a lozenge. Soon after this was taken he was said to have run off with a massive leather-clad man who went by the name of Simkins--a strange character himself proported to have kept a small "humanoid" companion on a leash which screamed "gimme some!" unmercilessly. Binki was also the author of the acclaimed book of Haiku entitled, I Have Something in My Third Eye.
