Abu kleptomaniac sidekick monkey with a high-pitched voice. He is voiced by Frank Welker. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have.[1] In The Return of Jafar, Abu is initially skeptical of Iago's reform, but eventually warms up to him. In Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Abu goes with Aladdin to find his father and later to the Vanishing Isle. [edit] Sultan
The Sultan is Princess Jasmine's father and the pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah, who desperately tries to find a suitor for his daughter Jasmine. Some aspects of the character were inspired in the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority figure.[1] In The Return of Jafar, the Sultan grows suspicious of Aladdin after he defends Iago, who used to work for Jafar, and commands him to watch the bird. He later becomes a target of the vengeful Jafar, who uses his turban to frame Aladdin for his murder. In the TV series, it is revealed that he is quite adept with mechanics (Getting the Bugs Out), and his nickname is Little Bobo (as revealed in "As the Netherworld Turns"). In Aladdin and the King of Thieves, although he although he declares Cassim an unwanted man after hearing about his life of the King of Thieves, he accepts both Cassim and Aladdin into his family graciously by the end of the film.He was voiced by Douglas Seale in the first film, and by Val Bettin in the sequels and the TV series. [edit] RajahRajah is Princess Jasmine pet tiger. He is also voiced by Frank Welker. [edit] RazoulRazoul (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the Captain of the Guard of Agrabah. During Aladdin life as a thief on the streets of Agrabah, Razoul became obsessed with capturing him, only for Aladdin to outsmart and escape him at nearly every turn. Razoul arrested Aladdin and knocked Jasmine to the ground, not recognizing her as the princess. When she revealed her true identity, he was shocked at seeing her outside the palace for the first time. Then when she ordered him to release Aladdin, he apologized and said that his orders came from Jafar. In the second film, Razoul arrested Aladdin for the murder of the Sultan and was very happy to follow what he believed were Jasmine's orders (Jafar in disguise) to have him executed. During the TV series episode among the number of things Razoul did is "Forget me Lots", when Jasmine lost her memory from the Rose of Forgetfulness, Razoul was more than happy to throw Aladdin, Iago, and Abu out of the palace and into the streets thinking that the princess had rejected Aladdin. Razoul also admitted his opinion that Aladdin was a power hungry street rat in "Destiny on Fire" when he and Aladdin were forced to work together, though he also admitted that he would consider calling Aladdin "your highness" if he got rid of Iago. In the third film, Razoul arrested Cassim and Iago for trying to steal The Oracle, but Aladdin broke Cassim out. Distracted, Razoul arrested Aladdin again, but was knocked unconscious by Cassim. Though he tried to have Aladdin charged for this crime, Razoul's request was denied as the Sultan decided to overlook the matter since Aladdin only broke Cassim out of prison out of love and came back to face punishment for his actions. Razoul shows no sympathy for lawbreakers, whether young, old, male or female, and appears to take pleasure from the authority he commands, although he does not have the same crazed lust for power as characters such as Jafar. When Aladdin was arrested for the alleged murder of the Sultan in The Return of Jafar, Razoul was obviously pleased that Aladdin was finally in a cell, and certainly not fazed by the order to execute him. He seems to enjoy acts of violence, although he only apparently commits them under orders. This was seen when he readily threw Aladdin (in disguise as Prince Ali) into the ocean under Jafar's orders. [edit] The Return of Jafar[edit] Abis MalAbis Mal is an incompetent thief who dreams of enormous riches. His name is a play on the word "abysmal", which is a reference to the outcomes of all his plans. Mal is voiced by Jason Alexander.[2] The Return of Jafar opens with Abis Mal and his minions in their hideout, with Abis Mal keeping all the gold and treasures for himself, much to the anger of his gang. Aladdin ultimately intervened, making a fool out of Abis Mal and taking all the treasure, with the intent to return it to those who need the money. Later, Abis crosses paths with Aladdin on the Agrabah streets, and orders his minions to attack. Abis winds up in another embarrassing defeat when Iago gets in the fray. That evening, while Abis was drawing water from a well, his gang decided to do away with their double-crossing boss. Just before they arrive, though, Abis pulls up a black lamp and unintentionally releases Jafar, scaring Abis's would-be murderers in the process. Knowing that as a genie he could not directly kill Aladdin, Jafar saw a chance for revenge through Abis's partnership. Of course, he was still required to grant Abis's three wishes. Abis's first wish was to have "The Legendary Sunken Treasure Ship of Gordumare" and Jafar granted it by teleporting himself and Abis to the ship itself, which was at the bottom of the ocean. Unable to breathe underwater, Abis then had to forfeit his second wish to return to the desert. Now down to one wish and threatened by Jafar to work with him if he wanted it, Abis became Jafar's unfortunate patsy; however, when he discovered that Jafar desired revenge on Aladdin, Abis willingly decided to go along with him to get his own revenge on Aladdin. The two succeed in capturing all of Aladdin's friends, with the ultimate finish being that Aladdin would be executed for the murder of the Sultan (although the real Sultan was still alive and captured). With his goals complete, Jafar then offers Abis Mal (technically Jafar's "master") huge amounts of gold and treasure in return for using his last wish to free Jafar. Abis, however, is not convinced that Jafar's claim is true and hesitates from wishing, thinking that after making the wish all the treasure Jafar had conjured would merely vanish. Aladdin quickly moves in to capture Jafar's lamp in Abis's moment of hesitation and quickly incurs Jafar's wrath. During the fight, Abis Mal winds up tangled in a tree, where he stays for the rest of the film. In the very end after the credits Abis Mal is still tangled in the tree and is left to ponder, "Does this mean I don't get my third wish?". Abis Mal serves as Aladdin's archenemy in the television series with 13 appearances. Abis Mal's usual plans involve looking for an ancient or powerful magic to conquer the Agrabah throne, looking for ancient and valuable treasures, or seeking revenge on Aladdin for always ruining his plans. He also seems fixated on getting himself a larger hat, and frequently had eyes for the Sultan's. In the episode "Lost and Founded", Abis Mal meets an ancestor of himself, Abnor Mal (pun on "abnormal"), and tries to make him founder Agrabah instead of the Sultan and Princess Jasmine's ancestor, Hamed. A running gag is that Abis Mal's attempts at power or wealth always backfire. [edit] Television series[edit] Amin DamoolaAmin Damoola is a stupid, clumsy, and annoying thief, who appears in four episodes. While neither very bright, nor powerful, Amin always finds a way to cause trouble for Aladdin (and usually ends up in trouble himself). Some of these ways are stealing a magical glove, creating a large green dragon, and getting a bunch of magical tools from Mozenrath. In his last episode he was working for Mozenrath, and failed him. Mozenrath didn't take that too well, and it is likely that he possibly turned him into a mamluck (zombie) or killed him ruthlessly. However, since Amin makes a fourth appearance in the episode Sneeze the Day, Mozenrath may have forgiven him (or maybe Amin already paid his penalty or escaped Mozenrath's wrath). His first name (Amin) is common in Arabic, but his last name (Damoola) is a play-on-words referring to his insatiable greed i.e. I'm in da moola (the money). His voice is an impression of Inspector Clouseau (the Peter Sellers version) with a slight Arabian tint. He is so incompetent as a thief that he is nicknamed "Butterfingers". [edit] ArbutusArbutus is a plant entity with the power to make vegetation and flora immediately grow and manipulate them to his will. His name comes from the genus of trees called Arbutus. The character is voiced by Ron Perlman. He sees himself as an artist and makes most plants grow with the intention of making something beautiful. He sometimes involves living organisms such as birds and even humans in his works of art, although he could not create them. Many years ago, a much more youthful Sultan came to the garden of Arbutus because he had heard that the most beautiful flowers grew there, to pick a flower for his bride. Arbutus did not attempt to harm him at first, as the Sultan showed appreciation of the beauty of the garden. But the sorcerer was enraged when the Sultan plucked a flower, effectively killing it. In order to allow the Sultan to go free he demanded that in 20 years time he be given the Sultan's most precious treasure. Misunderstanding him, the Sultan quickly agreed and hurried away. 20 years later, Arbutus came to Agrabah and took the Sultan's most precious treasure—Jasmine. Arbutus hates men for killing his beautiful works of art for their crass purposes (wood for heat and smoke which blocks the sun, flowers to die slowly in vases etc). His main weakness is the rose on his lapel. Once cut off, he withers and dies, along with all of the plants he created around himself. However, Jasmine, Aladdin and Genie plant the flower again, which perks up, and a deep inhalation is heard, suggesting that he will return to life in time. [edit] AzizAziz is one of Aladdin's first adversaries in the series. He is a small and ugly man, later turned to a goblin-like creature who can use his breath for almost anything, including attack, create illusions of entire deserts, or even turning people into small slug-like beings. It is apparent in the episode Destiny on Fire that these powers come with a price, as throughout the episode, Aziz seems to have a short breath and eventually goes on fire. Aziz first appears in the two part episode Seems Like Old Crimes as a part of a small traveling circus along with his friends Fatima and Minos. They use the monkey Abu to pickpocket their audience, but eventually hire the young Aladdin to do this instead. When Aladdin objects to stripping innocent citizens of all their money, Minos brings him in on their plan to steal the fabled Destiny Stone. Aladdin, Minos, Fatima and Aziz go to the ruins where the Destiny Stone is kept. When the trio attempt to steal the Destiny Stone, they are instead trapped inside, while Aladdin and Abu escape. Many years later, the three of them escape. Aziz has become a goblin, Minos has become a minotaur and Fatima has become a harpy. With their newfound powers, the three of them go on a crime spree in Agrabah, eventually setting their eyes on conquering the city and getting revenge on Aladdin for causing them to be trapped for many years. They eventually return to the temple where the Destiny Stone was held, where after a brief conversation with Jasmine, Minos and Fatima, who have mutual love for each other decide not to kill Aladdin, which causes Aziz to turn against them and attack them with his magic breath. The Destiny Stone thus turns Minos and Fatima back into humans, while Aziz prefers to keep his powers and escapes. Aziz is defeated in the episode Destiny on Fire, where he uses his breath to transform all of Agrabah's people to slug-like creatures and take over the palace. Eventually, Aladdin and Razoul noticed that overuse of Aziz's magic breath causes him to go on fire. When they have him try to destroy each other, Aziz eventually explodes and turns into three stars in the sky. [edit] ChaosChaos, voiced by Matt Frewer, is a winged blue cat who desires that life be unpredictable, full of surprise and change. Chaos is an extremely powerful entity of whom both Mirage and Genie are terrified of.[3] Chaos is a fun-loving prankster and uses his power for antics and light-hearted harassment rather than intentional, malicious evil. He does get angry when people start giving him orders, warning in a threatening voice not to do so. Like Genie, his magical tricks tend to reference other media. Chaos possesses several traits similar to the Cheshire Cat from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, such as disappearing, leaving only his grin behind, and leaving footprints before actually appearing. [edit] EdenEden is Genie's girlfriend, voiced by Debi Derryberry, She is first introduced in the episode "Some Enchanted Genie" and only appearing in one other episode: "The Book of Khartoum." Genie falls in love with her at first sight and tries to impress her by granting her master free wishes. Initially taken aback by his sudden appearance, she eventually agrees to a date and the two fall in love. Her master is an optimistic young orphan named Dhandi. Although her first wish is simply to have enough food to prevent her being hungry for the rest of her life, Dhandi sacrifices her second wish to prevent Aladdin and Genie from being turned into cockroaches by Abis Mal when he had the bottle. In the end, Dhandi accidentally uses her last wish to make Eden stay with her forever, postponing Genie's romance until Dhandi's life ends. However, Eden tells Genie that she is all that Dhandi has and that she cannot just leave her at that point in life, to which Genie understands. The two tell each other that they will wait until the time comes that they will finally be together. Unlike Genie, Eden has five fingers instead of four. Her name was most likely intended as a nod to Barbara Eden, who played a genie in a bottle in the 60's sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. [edit] MechaniclesMechanicles (pronounced "Meh-khan-ah-KLEEZ", sometimes misspelled "Mechanikles") is a mad scientist who seems to be of an ancient Greek culture (always styling himself as "greatest of the great Greek geniuses"), he is known for being able to make complex technological robots resembling insects (particularly beetles), which he uses for his various plots. When he first appeared, he was attacking a distant village with large robotic beetles, even managing to capture Genie and Carpet- forcing Aladdin to face the fact that he had become too dependent on them and had begun to take them for granted- before the group found him and destroyed his largest, greatest robot. Other than his large ego, Mechanicles seems to have an obsessive-compulsive need for cleanliness and order; Aladdin and the other heroes usually find themselves able to distract him by something simple, for example spilling oil on his tile floor. This obsessive-compulsive disorder seems to be the plot behind his schemes, for example; he tried to turn the entire desert into glass because glass is a smooth surface, while sand is shifty and "dirty", or when he stole cargo off a ship to boil the ocean because using steam is a better cleaning technique to clean clothes rather than normal scrubbing. On another occasion when he managed to assume control of Agrabah using a robot to hypnotise everyone, his primary focus after he had established himself as the new ruler was to begin ordering the city to be cleaned, but this plan was fortunately thwarted when Genie and Carpet- who were immune to the robot's hypnotic skills- managed to free Aladdin from its control and subsequently destroy the robot. [edit] MirageMirage is one of Aladdin's recurring enemies in the TV series. A cat-like enchantress (similar to the Egyptian goddess Bast) with power over illusions, dreams and shadows, her magic powers are enough to create a mirage of Agrabah, its people and Aladdin's friends. This, combined with her stunning keenness and ruthlessness, makes her a dangerous enemy. She is voiced by Bebe Neuwirth. Mirage is inscrutable in her motives. She never provides any insight herself, and other evidence is circumstantial at best. It is possible that she intends to kill Aladdin and his friends and then take over Agrabah (or the world); she certainly attempts the former several times; however, she is called "Evil Incarnate" during the course of the series, and it is possible that all of her actions are motivated simply by malice. The only reliable evidence is from the mysterious blind magician Phasir, who appears in few episodes of the series and who seems to have some history with Mirage, though it is not expanded on. In the Aladdin episode "Eye Of The Beholder" she tests Aladdin and Jasmine's love for each other by turning Jasmine into a poisonous anthropomorphic snake.[4] The attempts initially appeared successfully, rendering Jasmine poisonous to the touch, but when Aladdin turned himself into a snake to be with her, Phasir appeared to Mirage, informing her that she had failed, and lifted the spell on the two of them. Her keenness turned Aladdin's old friend Amal against him, and finally he had to race against time before his city's inhabitants become slaves in their sleep. In another episode, she directed an even more powerful entity named Chaos towards Agrabah.However, even Mirage feared Chaos, having to use quick thinking to avoid a confrontation with him. However, it turns out that in the end of the episode it is shown that Chaos was manipulating her the whole time, putting her in a situation where she saved the day and thus making life a little more interesting. [edit] MozenrathMozenrath is a young evil sorcerer and necromancer, around the same age as Aladdin.[5] He is always accompanied by his flying eel, Xerxes. He was voiced by the late Jonathan Brandis.[6] in the Disney animated television series Aladdin. In Mozenrath's debut episode (Episode 37 - "The Citadel"), Iago referred to the sorcerer as "Jafar Jr." In his first appearance, he talked about his sadistic and ruthless master Destane, who Mozenrath sarcastically referred to as being "like a father" to him. Mozenrath boasted betraying Destane and seizing his power, single-handedly conquering the Land of the Black Sands. He bragged that he turned Destane into one of the undead Mamluks that serve him. Eventually, Mozenrath's lust for power led him to Agrabah where he tried to compel Aladdin into helping him capture a creature he had brought from another world, a beast that devoured magic. Once Aladdin subdued it and placed Mozenrath's magical collar upon it, Mozenrath intended to use it to defeat the magical defenses of every other kingdom of the Seven Deserts (includinh Agrabah) in order to conquer them. Mozenrath seemed rather surprised that Aladdin would risk his life for "people, but not gold." Aladdin, however, bested Mozenrath by freeing the beast, which turned immediately upon Mozenrath, seeking both to devour his magic for food and revenge for Mozenrath's attempt to enslave it forcing Mozenrath to send it back to its own world. From that day on, Mozenrath vowed he would destroy his new nemesis, Aladdin, and his loved ones. Through the course of the series he tried to kill Aladdin and his friends, nearly succeeding on several occasions, only to be defeated in the end. He also attempted several times to capture Genie so that he could tap his magical energies and use them for his own purposes. It was an apt comparison, as Mozenrath demonstrated Jafar's power-hunger and cruelty. In one episode, Mozenrath was in Jafar's old room doing research, and in the same episode, Iago asked him if he knew Jafar, to which Mozenrath did not answer. He is very powerful, unscrupulous and deceptive. Mozenrath possesses a fairly extensive array of magical artifacts (most were probably acquired from Destane), which is shown when he offers many of them to Amin Damoolah in exchange for his services in capturing Agrabah's sultan. His most powerful and treasured artifact is a magical gauntlet that gives him tremendous magical power, which he always wears upon his right hand. However, this power comes at a price, as the flesh beneath the gauntlet has rotted away, leaving only bones (he can still manipulate the motions of his skeletal hand and fingers, though). While he possesses an extensive knowledge of magic (spells, potions, etc.,) he is powerless without the gauntlet or his other artifacts. With the artifacts, he possesses numerous magical abilities, which include, but are not limited to, telekinesis, energy projection, teleportation, and flight. Despite Mozenrath's young age, his body is physically weak and he was not going to live much longer. His physical weakness was a side effect of his gauntlet, though he nonetheless proved on a few occasions to be spry enough to hold his own against Aladdin in hand-to-hand combat. In one episode, Mozenrath attempted to switch bodies with Aladdin to survive in his strong body while Aladdin would end up dying in the villain's weak body. Mozenrath's knowledge of magic has also led him to create numerous magical items, such as "anti-magic" chains and a security system that warns him whenever magical beings arrive in his kingdom uninvited. [edit] Mukhtar, TheThe Mukhtar (voiced by John Kassir) is a character in the Disney animated TV series Aladdin. He is apparently the last surviving member of the race of Mukhtars, sworn enemies of Genies. Though Mukhtars would generally hunt Genies just for the honour, the last Muktar acknowledges that times have changed, and now he hunts Genies for gold. Like Genie, he does not have a specific name. He is often seen riding on a strange, kangaroo-like reptile. The Mukhtar appears in two episodes, "Genie Hunt" and "The Hunted". In the former of these, he works for one of Genie's former masters, Al Gebraic, to capture Genie and put him into his service again. In the latter, he is hired by Mozenrath to capture Genie so that Mozenrath could entrap him in the crystal of Ix and steal his powers, but ends up turning on Mozenrath and helping Aladdin rescue Genie after he saves him from a giant monstrous killer plant inside Mozenrath's palace. At the end of the episode, Genie and Mukhtar part as friends. [edit] PhasirPhasir (voiced by Ed Gilbert) is a character in the Disney animated TV series Aladdin. He appears frequently through the series. His first appearance is in the episode "Do the Rat Thing", but he is not named or given any background until the episode "The Prophet Motive", where he is identified as Phasir, an old seer and powerful wizard who turned his evil giant brother, Fashoom, into stone many centuries ago. The end of that episode also reveals that he is actually a cyclops, but he wears bands over his one eye, which makes him appear to be just blind (it is never made clear whether he actually is blind or merely pretends to be in order to hide his eye). Later episodes, such as "Eye of the Beholder" and "While the City Snoozes" hint that Phasir has had many dealings with Mirage in the past and may have once been in love with her (he states to himself that love will one day lead Mirage back to him). [edit] SadiraSadira is introduced as an antagonist in the TV series; however, she later becomes friends with Aladdin and the others. She is voiced by the actress Kellie Martin.[7] Originally just another street rat - much like Aladdin himself had been - Sadira developed an obsession with Aladdin after he saved her from Razoul. Dejected over his rejection of her in favor of Jasmine, she subsequently fell into a cavern where she made contact with a group of 'sand witches', who taught her various magical spells that featured sand as part of the incantations. So armed, she unleashed a sand beast in an attempt to get Jasmine out of the picture, but in her haste she failed to think more about what she wanted the creature to do, how to completely control the creature and it subsequently ran rampant before the group were able to stop it. Her second attempt featured Sadira using an unidentified 'memory sand' that caused the entire city's memories - and apparently even history itself - to be altered, resulting in Sadira being the princess and engaged to Aladdin while Jasmine was on the streets, with she and Aladdin never having even met; however, the spell had no effect on Abu, Iago and Rajah, who swiftly escaped the palace to search for Jasmine. Despite her initial skepticism, Jasmine began to believe Iago's story when she saw the wedding parade, feeling drawn to Aladdin despite having no memory of him. Sadira attempted to stop them by having the wedding moved to that very night, but the animals and Jasmine managed to interrupt the wedding before Sadira and Aladdin could kiss. Realizing that he felt more right with Jasmine than he ever had with Sadira, even when he could not remember her, Aladdin kissed Jasmine, resulting in history returning to normal with only Iago, Abu, Rajah and Sadira retaining any memory of the experience. In Sadira's third attempt, she cast a spell to transform Aladdin into a heroic dragon-slaying prince and Abu into a horse, simultaneously opening a portal to the land of her fantasies, where she and Aladdin could live without any interference from Jasmine. Although Genie managed to close the portal, the subsequent mixture of Genie's magic with Sadira's spells meant that Aladdin still believed himself to be the prince despite the lack of any armor or even a dragon to slay, as well as Abu becoming a mule, forcing them to recreate Sadira's fantasy in order to break the spell. In the process, however, Sadira and Jasmine actually bonded to a certain degree, developing an appreciation for each other's skills and putting their old rivalry to rest as they worked together to vanquish the out-of-control mechanical dragon Genie had created while Aladdin was under the spell's influence. Despite her new friendship with the group, Sadira was forced to face the remnants of her past actions when, while attempting to make a soup, she accidentally released the Sand Witches who had taught her in the first place. Having framed Sadira for releasing a sand viper on the city, the Sand Witches attempted to win her over to their side and thus raise the ancient City of Sand to destroy Agrabah, but in the end Sadira chose her new friendship with the group and helped them to defeat the Witches.

[edit] Aladdin and the King of Thieves[edit] CassimCassim is Aladdin's father, voiced by John Rhys-Davies. He left his wife and newborn son in Agrabah eighteen years ago to explore the world and pursue a better life for his family, not wanting to be looked down upon. Some time later, he fell in with the Forty Thieves, eventually becoming their leader (the "King of Thieves"), and incorporated a new law: never hurt the innocent. His latest plan before the events of Aladdin and the King of Thieves was to try and steal the Oracle, as he had found evidence that it existed, and believed it might be among the gifts going to Agrabah. He intended to find the treasure of the Vanishing Isle so he could return to his family knowing they would then be provided for. Cassim is first seen in the film disguised as the King of Thieves, carrying out a plot to raid Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding. As soon as the ceremony starts, he gives the word for the other thirty-nine to distract the guards while he searches for the Oracle. The plan works, to an extent- Cassim is confronted by Aladdin, and the two fight, both unaware of the fact that they are father and son. He manages to escape, swearing to meet Aladdin again. Aladdin later catches up to his father after learning he is "trapped in the world of the Forty Thieves", when Cassim utters the secret words to open the hideout of the Thieves ("Open Sesame"). He is confronted by Sa'luk, a rival of his, about the failure of the raid in Agrabah, and Sa'luk is about to kill him when Aladdin intervenes. Aladdin reveals that he is his son, and this is proved when the dagger slips out of his cloak. Cassim tells them that this is true, but nevertheless, since he found the location of their hideout, he must die- or face the challenge in a battle for his life against Sa'luk, which Aladdin narrowly succeeds at. After the challenge, Cassim shows Aladdin a secret chamber, and Aladdin offers an invitation to his wedding, which Cassim is at first hesitant about, but upon hearing Iago that he will lead Cassim to where the Oracle is if he participates in Aladdin's wedding, he accepts it. Cassim easily bonds with Genie, the Sultan and Jasmine (after a change of clothes and dealing with some of Genie's antics) but is ultimately too obsessed with the pull of the treasure to enjoy the time with his son too much. Nevertheless, as he attempts to take the Oracle, Cassim promises Iago he will go straight to attend the wedding after it, but they are caught by Razoul and the Palace Guards, who have been tipped off by Sa'luk. He is sentenced to life in prison along with 31 thieves that have been captured during Razoul's raid of the hideout, but later on that night, Aladdin, disguised as himself in his King of Thieves clothes, helps him escape. Once out of Agrabah, Cassim and Iago go back to the Thieves. Upon arriving, they find that Sa'luk manipulated the remaining thieves into believing that Cassim sold them out and now follow Sa'luk as their new leader. Being held hostage with Iago, he is forced to use the Oracle to lead them to the Vanishing Isle, while he secretly commands Iago to escape to warn Aladdin. As the Thieves reached the Isle by ship, Cassim is saved by Aladdin, who knocks Sa'luk unconscious, and they venture into the Vanishing Isle to obtain the hand of Midas. They succeed, but Sa'luk quickly follows, taking Aladdin hostage, threatening Cassim that he will kill Aladdin unless he hand over the Hand of Midas. Cassim, realizing that the treasure is not worth it, agrees and tosses the hand to Sa'luk, who then decides to kill Aladdin anyway, but considering the fact that he is actually touching the gold part, Sa'luk himself turns into a golden statue and falls into the chamber filled with water. Cassim and Aladdin then escape out of the Isle. He realizes that, despite losing the treasure, he has not lost his ultimate treasure: his son, and apologizes for taking so long to realize it. Cassim attends Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding later, watching from the shadows, as he is still an unwanted man. He accepts Iago as a traveling companion, and goes off to venture the world. [edit] Sa'lukSa'luk is the primary villain of Aladdin and the King of Thieves, voiced by the late Jerry Orbach. He is a ruthless, violent brute, and he seems to have pleasure in killing. His primary weapon is a knuckleduster with 3 bronze claws attached. He is very strong and an exceptionally capable fighter, able to defeat the entirety of the remaining Forty Thieves without breaking a sweat and kill a shark with his bare hands. He is tall, gray skinned, wearing a black vest, a red cummerbund and baggy blue pants. When Aladdin arrives at the thieves' lair, Sa'luk, angry at Cassim for leading them to a failed attempt to steal the oracle from Aladdin's wedding, attempts a mutiny against Cassim, but Aladdin steps in before they can fight and subdues Sa'luk. Sa'luk then says to the other thieves that they must kill Aladdin for knowing the location of the hideout. Cassim, having little authority over the thieves but wanting to save his son, gives Aladdin the chance to fight for his life. Sa'luk instantly volunteers to be "the one to test him". Aladdin takes a rather severe beating, but is eventually able to subdue and defeat Sa'luk, who falls down a cliff during the fight to his apparent death. But Sa'luk survives, and knows that he has by now been replaced by Aladdin. In a spiteful rage, Sa'luk reveals the location of the thieves' hideout to Razoul, in exchange for immunity from prosecution. When Razoul arrests the thieves, Sa'luk finds out that Cassim and Aladdin are not among them. When Sa'luk hears that Aladdin is in Agrabah, he assumes Cassim is too, and reveals that Cassim, being Aladdin's recently-arrived father, is the King. Then he returns to the thieves lair, and convinces the remaining seven thieves that it was actually Cassim who gave up the location of the hideout. He rallies the thieves to join him in his own quest for the Hand of Midas. When Cassim and Iago arrive at the thieves' lair, Sa'luk has them tied up. The thieves sail away, trying to find the Vanishing Island, where the hand of Midas is, with the oracle's help; however, Iago escapes and tells Aladdin. Aladdin and company follow the thieves to the Vanishing Isle, where it comes to a great battle. Sa'luk corners both Aladdin and Cassim and demands that they give him the hand or he will kill Aladdin. Cassim throws the hand to Sa'luk and he catches it on the actual gold hand instead of the handle. As Sa'luk savors his victory and prepares to kill Aladdin anyway, he reacts in horror as the Hand of Midas turns him into a golden statue. [edit] The OracleThe Oracle is an entity bound to a staff, who answers one question per person. These include the treasure the Forty Thieves seek, and the location of Cassim. The character is voiced by CCH Pounder. [edit] References
