Yan-C-Bin is normally an invisible, amorphous cloud, and is usually only felt as a slight disturbance in the air. He is about ten feet in diameter and weighs 3 pounds. Two glowing eyes may appear in his cloudlike body. He may also appear as a sage resembling a man from west of the Baklunish Basin with three pairs of bird wings and a robed body that fades into mist.
Yan-C-Bin was once a foe of Ogrémoch, but eventually discovered his greatest foe: Chan, the good archomental of air. He sometimes gets into conflicts with Pazuzu. He despises the djinn.
