Notable powers

Granok physiology grants him superhuman strength and durability, far in excess of even a vampire of Angel's strength, and also the race's characteristic viciousness.
Knowledge of the dark arts grant him proficiency in certain rituals as well as a talent for dimensional magic, including the creation of rifts in the fabric of reality, or merely "windows" to monitor other dimensions.
While incorporeal he was able to teleport through time and space, making him capable of temporal and interdimensional travel, assume human form, manipulate electromagnetic currents and exercising limited interaction with the physical world, perhaps through sheer will.
Portrayed by Jack Conley

Sahjhan is a fictitious character on the WB Network's television program Angel. Sahjhan was portrayed by actor Jack Conley. Sahjhan claims to have invented daylight savings time, although he has a tendency towards sarcasm and dry wit.

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Sahjhan is one of a race of demons, known as the Granok, who thrive on chaos and violence. The Granok are pale and disfigured, with faces covered in scars and markings. Sahjhan and the rest of his kind were made immaterial by Wolfram and Hart. Mesekhtet (the little girl in the White Room) claims this was because she liked trouble, but hated the chaos the Granok were bringing. Once an immaterial being, however, Sajhjan became capable of teleporting through time and dimensions, earning him the nickname Timeshifter.

When solid, the Granok possess tremendous strength and endurance, capable of throwing around automobiles effortlessly. They can only be contained in a special urn, called a Resikian Urn, like a genie in a bottle. These urns are supposed to be indestructible.

Sahjhan was responsible for bringing vampire hunter Daniel Holtz to the present. Sahjhan claimed to have a grudge against Angel; however, his plan was, in fact, to use Holtz to kill Angel's son Connor because of the prophecies in the Nyazian Scrolls which foretold that Connor would kill him. In order to confuse Angel and his friends, Sahjhan actually altered the passage in the prophecy about his death; the altered passage read, "The Father Will Kill the Son", leading Wesley to the conclusion that Angel would kill Connor.

However, Sahjhan grew impatient with Holtz, who, instead of just killing Connor, laid out and executed an elaborate plan to kidnap Connor. Sahjhan sought the help of Wolfram & Hart's Lilah Morgan, thus setting up a chain of events that ended with Holtz disappearing into a Hell dimension known as Quor Toth, taking Connor with him. Just a few days later, Justine imprisoned Sahjhan in Holtz's Resikhian Urn as revenge for Holtz's disappearance, which she blamed Sahjhan for.

Two years later, Sahjhan was released under the watch of his enemy Cyvus Vail, whom Sahjhan had tried to kill on a number of occasions. Minutes later he was killed by Connor, and thus the prophecy of the Nyazian Scrolls was finally fulfilled despite all his efforts.
