I re-purposed this photograph as a depiction of Nazir Achmed Zehavi for the "Masks of Nyarlathotep" project. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I think the portrait perfectly captures his character, in every sense.

That's a fantastic photo. What an evocative face!
Your "Masks of Nyarlathotep" keeper and players might possibly enjoy and/or benefit from the campaign maps Droesler has posted at Yog-Sothoth.com.
@ elmo iscariot
Thank you for the kind words
Oh, and I find your name hilarious.

The quality of the free materials produced by the Mythos community continually amazes me.
As Elmo gradually replaced lovable, fuzzy old Grover in all the Sesame Street promotions, _something_ had to be done. ;)
I went a little crazy on it.

Well, Elmo, all I can say is to look out for characters named Fezto.
Ha! Outstanding, Raven.
I nearly got thrown out of a shooting range once for using Elmo targets. ;)
The real-life gentleman in the photo (Jacob, son of Aaron, the Samaritan high priest) had some 1906 correspondence of his published in a 1907 issue of the Open Court, a monthly magazine out of Chicago.
Incidentally, a trivia point about Jacob's turban. It's red, as all Samaritans were required by (then-Islamic) law to so identify themselves. The Nazir, of course, would have worn a different color, so presume grey or brown or (if he was a hajji) green.
