History Characters / AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves

* BeyondRedemption: {{Deconstructed}}. While Aladdin does come to believe that Cassim is too far gone to help, Cassim feels much the same, and believes that since he's this far gone, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he may as well just keep going]]. It's not that Cassim doesn't want to change his ways, it's just that he feels as though he is too deep in the life of a criminal to just quit altogether. Even by the end of the film Aladdin and Cassim come to a mutual understanding, but that doesn't mean Cassim is going to stop being a criminal.

* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: He turns out all right at the end.

* IveComeTooFar: He left home in order to get his beloved wife and son the wealth he thought they deserved, but he never had any luck getting it and didn't want all his efforts to be for nothing. As he said, the weeks turned into months, which then turned into years. By the time he finally returned home, his wife was dead and his son was nowhere to be found.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: On his second attempt to steal the scepter, he's confronted by Razoul. Cassim draws a nearby sword, but wisely surrenders when he sees he's surrounded by archers.

--> '''The Oracle:''' Your question is mine to answer!

A 40-man (38, not counting Cassim and Sa'luk) of vicious criminals, thieves, killers and assorted scum that has spread terror throughout Arabia for years. Their crimes have been reigned in slightly under the leadership of Cassim, who has them focus on the rich and powerful while he searches for clues to the Hand of Midas, much to the frustration of Sa'luk.

* SiblingsInCrime: The Triplets, a trip of acrobatic thieves who appear to be identical triplets.

[[folder:The 40 Thieves]]

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The whole band counts, but this trope really gets distilled to it's essence with the seven surviving thieves after Sa'luks betrayal.

An enigmatic spirit who resides within an enchanted scepter that is unknowingly offered as a wedding gift to Jasmine and Aladdin, this mystical entity will answer with perfect clarity, but will only answer a single question for a single individual in their lives. Cassim and the Forty Thieves wish to retrieve her so they use her to guide them to the Hand of Midas.

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

* TheOmniscient: She sees all that has been and all that will be.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only shows up a total of three times in the film, yet she's the one to reveal that Aladdin's father is alive, and lead to the MacGuffin.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Gently explains to Aladdin that while that he can't simply be rid of his thieving ways after doing it for so long.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Unlike the LeanAndMean [[TheChessmaster scheming]] sorcerer Jafar was, Sa'luk is a brute who is more fascinated with stuffing his pockets than ruling a kingdom. And while Jafar [[ItsPersonal actively targeted Aladdin and his allies]], Sa'luk's conflict is mainly with Cassim, and he doesn't interact with or even acknowledge Aladdin when it doesn't involve his father. He's also this to a lot of the major villains in the TV series for similar reasons, who relied more on intellect and magic. Not that Sa'luk [[GeniusBruiser isn't capable of deception]], but he relies on physically threatening people a lot more and doesn't possess anything in the way of magical abilities or engineering prowess.

* BadassBaritone: His deep, booming voice cements his commanding presence and leadership capabilities.

* BadassBaritone: Thanks to Jerry Orbach.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: There's no question that he becomes the leader of the remaining Thieves due to his skills at fighting, and he retained his position in the Thieves prior to Aladdin by being able to kill any man who tried to join and take his place.

* TerminalTransformation: [[spoiler: Suffers a DeathByIrony when he grabs the Hand of {{Midas|Touch}}, the artifact he forced Aladdin to retrieve - by the business end. He has just enough time to [[OhCrap realize his mistake]] just before it transforms him into a lifeless gold statue.]]

* ILied: In the climax, he demands that Cassim toss him the Hand of Midas, threatening to slaughter Aladdin if doesn't comply. Cassim throws the Hand to him, but after catching it, Sa'luk decides that he'll take Aladdin's life anyway. It turns out that [[spoiler: Cassim expected this and threw the Hand in such a way that Sa'Luk would have to catch it by the Hand itself instead of by the handle. By the time Sa'luk realizes what's going to happen to him, it's too late.]]
