History Characters / AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves

* KnightOfCerebus: Sa'Luk may not have supernatural powers like Jafar, but he is ''defiantly'' almost as threatening. After surviving an apparent DisneyVillainDeath he ''kills a shark onscreen'' and the film takes a much darker turn when he sets his plot in motion. [[spoiler:His death is also nightmarish]].

* KnightOfCerebus: Not so much at first, but after surviving an apparent DisneyVillainDeath he ''kills a shark onscreen'' and the film takes a much darker turn when he sets his plot in motion. [[spoiler:His death is also nightmarish]].

* MeaningfulName: In Arabic, his name means divided. He can't reconcile the division between the caring father side of himself and the part of him that is the proud King of Thieves.

* KilledMidSentence: Cassim casually tosses him the Hand of Midas, which Sa'luk catches with his bare hands completely unaware of the consequences. [[Aladdin and Cassim can only stare in horror as he is forcibly transformed into a gold statue, his BigNo [[AndIMustScream cut off]] once the magic reaches his face.]]

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbadoningYou: He explains to Aladdin that he left to find an ancient treasure and secure a fortune for his wife and son. His refusal to come back empty handed meant he kept searching and stealing for years, and by the time he did come back he could not find his loved ones and was too deep in the criminal underworld to easily back out

* DarkIsNotEvil: Proudly calls himself the King of Thieves, leads a thieves band and dresses up similar to how you'd expect a thief to dress, but he's determined to never hurt an innocent and only became a thief because he wanted to give his family a better life.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: Her answer to Aladdin to find his father was, "follow the trail of the Forty Thieves. Your father is trapped in their world". Aladdin at first thinks that he's literally their prisoner, but later realizes that he is "trapped" by his own greed.

* BadassMustache:

* OneManArmy: During his VillainSong, he easily browbeats the remainder of the Forty Thieves into following him by physically dominating them all, proving he's stronger than any of them.

* ItOnlyWorksOnce: She is "bound by the Rule of One: One Question, One Answer", a person may only ever ask a single question of her, after which she can never speak to them again.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In comparison to [[AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves the original story]].

* TheStarscream: He usurps control over the Forty Thieves and it's made clear during his Villain Song that he's always wanted to take control.

* TheOmniscient: She sees all that has been and all that will be. With the limitation of being bound "by the Rule of One: One Question, One Answer", a person may only ever ask a single question of her, after which she can never speak to them again.

* {{Jerkass}}: A big one.

* TheOmniscient: With the limitation of being bound "by the Rule of One: One Question, One Answer". A person may only ever ask a single question of her, after which she can never speak to them again.

The enigmatic leader of the Forty Thieves, making him the titular King of Thieves. He leads his band to attack Aladdin and Jasmin's wedding, hoping to steal the scepter of the Oracle. Investigating leads Aladdin to the discover that the King of Thieves is his own long-lost father, who abandoned him and his mother years ago in hopes of finding the legendary Hand of Midas, a mystical artifact that resides on the Vanishing Isle and which can [[TheMidasTouch turn anything it touches into solid gold]]. In his obsession with finding it and thusly giving his family all the wealth they could ever dream of, he all but forgot about his family, returning only after his wife had died and his son had vanished -- unbeknownst to him, having made his own living as a street rat of Agrabah.
