* AdaptationalBadass: The Cassim in {{Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves}} was a simple farmer who couldn't even remember two sentences, nothing like the cunning, charming, and dashing King of Thieves this version is.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While Cassim was no saint in [[{{Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves}} the original story]], he certainly wasn't the leader of a band of unrepentant thieves infamous throughout the land.
** AdaptationalNiceGuy: That being said, this Cassim is treated far more sympathethically here. He's a thief, sure, but he's affable, has a [[JustifiedCriminal justifiable and tragic motivation]], treats his underlings fairly, and follows a code. In contrast, most versions of {{Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves}} have Cassim as a greedy farmer who covets his brother Ali's newfound wealth and forces him to give up the secret of the cave.
