In human mythology, the Djinn are supernatural beings of pre-Islamic folklore. They had many names across time and cultures, including genies and demons.[1] When the Clandestines were exiled to Earth from the Noor Dimension and arrived in Asia, they were believed by the local populace to be Djinn due to their supernatural existence.[2] A legend about their exile was eventually recorded as a Djinn tale.[1]
