Shakuni
Shakuni (Sanskrit: शकुनि, lit. bird) also known as Saubala (Sanskrit: सौबल, lit. son of Subala), Gandhararaja (Sanskrit: गान्धारराज, శకుని TeluguTamil: சகுனி, lit. சம் + குனி or Made all to drop head) (lit. king of Gandhara) and Subalraja (Sanskrit): सुबलराज, lit. "King of the Kingdom of Subala" was the prince of Gandhara Kingdom in present-day Gandhara, later to become the King after his father's death. He is one of the main villains in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. He was the brother of Gandhari and hence Duryodhana's maternal uncle. Portrayed as an extremely intelligent but devious man, Shakuni is often credited as the mastermind behind the Kurukshetra War. Shakuni was the greatest illusionist of that era, second only to Lord Krishna. Shakuni had two sons named Uluka and Vrikaasur. The original texts of Mahabharata mention Shakuni as personification of Dvapara Yuga.
