After being cursed Jamil couldn't help but feel lonely. Jamil is very much introverted and often times rude or hostile to anyone he comes across, he's very manipulative when dealing with humans using his powers of hypnosis. his snake like hair have similar appearance to braids making it easy for him to blend in. When he met you he was conflicted, you were blind and didn't know what he looked like or who he was. So he played along, lying and saying he was a villager living in the montains.
