In Jalaluddin Rumi's Masnavi, following his successful infiltration of the Christian community, the deceptive vizier achieves complete authoritative and spiritual control over its followers. The narrative details that the Christians are divided into twelve distinct factions, led by 'ten and two amirs' (commanders). Although each faction is fiercely loyal to its own leader, all twelve amirs and their respective followers become profoundly captivated by the vizier. They place uncritical trust in his speech and model their own conduct entirely upon his behavior. The vizier's manipulation proves so total that any of the twelve amirs would willingly surrender their life at his mere command. This absolute, blind devotion underscores the devastating efficacy of the vizier's deceit, perfectly positioning the twelve leaders as unwitting pawns for his eventual distribution of conflicting religious scrolls.
