A sadistic and brutal man with utter contempt for those less fortunate than he is, Iago Haseem is the manipulative owner and Ringmaster of the Haseem Travelling Circus and acts as the primary antagonist of And the Freak Shall Inherit....
Born to run the travelling show by his father, the founder, Iago considers the "freaks" in his sideshow, as well as the menagerie he keeps, as tools to rake in money and not living beings, and so denies them of all but what is needed to keep them alive.
