* TheDragon: A heroic version to Balian.



* NumberTwo: To Balian.



* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: While his real-counterpart Heraclius could had been somewhat corrupt, he was at least devoted in defending the city by stripping all the gold and silver he could find to pay the defenders (even from the ''Church of the Holy Sepulchre'') and attempted to ransom several of the common people when the city finally fell. This was likely becuase 1. Heraclius tried to save holy relics for religious reasons and Muslim accounts mistook him for a greedy man. 2. The Christian historian who recorded the siege was his political rival.

* {{Foil}}: As described above and below, he is a Saracen counterpart to Raynald and Guy; and as fanatical as both of them. That said, the one thing they lack that he seems to possess is respect for his more noble and moderate leader. The Mullah respect and listen to Saladin; thus Christian civilians are spared. Raynald and Guy were more than overjoyed when King Baldwin died and they could have war.

* KarmaHoudini: Easily the most bigoted and unsympathetic character on the Saracen side who expresses delight in murdering Christian civilians, and he lives till the end and enters the conquered Jerusalem with Saladin.
