Barqan does not have an attested origin myth in the provided materials. Instead, the figure appears in compiled occult/name lists and secondary summaries as one of a group of named jinn-kings or afarit. Modern summaries (cited to occult compilations attributed to Ahmad al-Buni and to web compilations) place Barqan among four prominent kingly figures—Mudhib, Maimun, Barqan, and al-Ahmar—and in lists that assign various named jinn to days of the week. These attestations present Barqan as a named ruler within an ordering of jinn in occult and folkloric texts rather than supplying a narrative birth or cosmogonic origin (Sources: Wikipedia Archdemon; djinn compilations; Islamic talismanic name lists summarized online).
The supplied sources do not provide a consistent physical description of Barqan. Modern compiled lists sometimes append epithets or compounds to the name (for example, "Barqan Abu al-Adjayb") and some secondary pages and list-entries refer to him in contexts that render him as a notable or titled king (occasionally rendered in English as a form of "Black King" in certain compilations), but these descriptors are not corroborated by primary textual descriptions in the provided excerpts. Overall, appearance details are absent or inconsistent in the cited web summaries and fandom/wiki entries (Sources: multiple web compilations; Alchetron; Arabian Nights wiki).
Specific powers and behaviors for Barqan are not documented in the provided materials beyond his listing as a ruler or king among jinn. The compiled sources imply authority and rulership by placing him among named jinn-kings; one narrative synopsis identifies Barqan as one of the jinn rulers vanquished in a tale (the Arabian Nights synopsis where Gharib helps vanquish jinn rulers Barqan and the Blue King). No explicit abilities (such as possession, granting wishes, or particular magical functions) are described in the excerpts reviewed (Sources: Wikipedia Archdemon; djinn compilations; Arabian Nights wiki).
