Answer:
Jabor and Faquarl
Bartimaeus has a difficult time fufilling his charge commanded by Nathaniel. Sneaking into the house as a fly, he manages to spy on Simon Lovelace and a younger woman companion known as Amanda Cathcart. After listening to them for a good while, he moves out of the room and journeys to where Simon Lovelace keeps all his magical items of power. Taking the Amulet, Bartimaeus is pursued by Jabor, a djinni of considerable power. After escaping into a closed room, Bartimaeus erects a shield to keep Jabor busy as he plans his escape. Seeing his rival, Faquarl, spinning a cleaver in his hand and telling him to hand over the Amulet, Bartimaeus is trapped. After some quick thinking, he lets go of the shield on the door just as Jabor lets go a particulary strong detonation (typical magic attack.) This detonation hits Faquarl straight on, giving Bartimaeus the distraction he needs to escape. Though he is chased by servants of Simon Lovelace all night, his biggest problem is actually a group of teenage commoners.
