Ajeeth

Ajeeth was a Sikh servant of Lady Cornelia Basildon-Stone in the late 19th century.

Biography
When the Paternoster Gang investigated Crystal Palace, Ajeeth met Strax and started taunting him, but Strax got him back by pointing out the turban on Ajeeth's head and implying he was injured.

Later, he transformed the policemen stationed at Basildon-Stone's hideout into wasp/human mutations by use of a genetic splicer. He told them to attack Strax, Jenny, and Tommy Corrigan, but they escaped and he was left alone.

Their escape was cut off by more mutations, and Ajeeth attacked Strax and revealed that Basildon-Stone had shared her use of the genetic splicer with him. He himself transformed into a wasp/human, but then Jenny shot him with Strax's gun. (COMIC: The Crystal Throne)

Appearance
Ajeeth wore a turban. He had a black beard that clung to his face, and his clothes were black and green. (COMIC: The Crystal Throne)

Behind the scenes

 * The references made by Strax towards the Sikh Ajeeth's turban led to a reader's letter of complaint being published in DWM 478, followed by an apology by editor Tom Spilsbury. When the story was reprinted in the graphic novel The Eye of Torment, the dialogue for the scenes between Strax and Ajeeth was changed.
