Description
It occurred to me that I have never really drawn a portrait of Erik's conscience. Nadir Kahn was the only man who ever deigned to be called friend by the opera ghost.

This portrait reflects him in his post as the daroga of Mazanderan during the mid nineteenth century in Persia. The cursory research that I dug up on the place and period led to the combination of westernized frock coat and traditional-esque sashes of rank.

The shah (Whom I have equated with Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar 1831-1896) mentioned in Kay's book was actually of of the first of his dynasty to embrace technology, particularly photography. Yet, during his dictatorial rule, from what I can tell, there was widespread persecution of religious dissidents, which magnified after an assasination attempt. This leaves our fictitious Persian court with plenty of opportunities for 'amusing deaths'.
