Asshole Victim: He is depicted as an absolutely unsympathetic dick until he is ultimately overthrown.
The Atoner: According to Sahbmad, he's been doing quite of a bit of self-reflection after being deposed. Whether it's a true Heel–Face Turn remains to be seen.

Cain and Abel: The Cain to Alibaba's Abel. Ahbmad was not particularly favored by his father, who even asked Alibaba to rule when he invited him over to his deathbed.

Dumbass No More: Learning an enigmatic language, Torran, during his stay in the nation for research, and using it to help Aladdin and Hakuryuu from being mobbed by children who tried to con them. He still says that he did it strictly to get along with locals, though.

I Am Big Boned: Made fun of by Sinbad when Ahbmad teases him about gaining weight since they last met.

Sahbmad Saluja

Voiced by: Hirofumi Nojima (Japanese), Tony Oliver (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sahbmad_9241.jpg

The very shy Deputy King of Balbadd.

Alliterative Name: Sahbmad Saluja.
Authority in Name Only: Though his title is Deputy King, he doesn't wield that much power himself, though that may just because of his shy nature and guilt complex.
Big Brother Worship: Subverted in that he doesn't approve any of his older brother's actions. In fact he looks up to his younger brother, thinking that Alibaba is more brave and smarter than him, believing that he is the only one who can save Balbadd.

Guilt Complex: Sahbmad constantly berates himself for being too weak to stand up to Ahbmad.
The Mole: Was secretly helping the Fog Troupe against Ahbmad, because his younger brother was part of it.
Must Make Amends: He has always held the position of Deputy King behind Ahbmad, but has never been strong enough to directly oppose him for the sake of Balbadd. Now that Alibaba has come back, Sahbmad desperately wants to help Alibaba save the country.
Shrinking Violet: A surprisingly serious example of this, to the point where he feels he could never be king because of it.

Aktia Kingdom

The Aktia Kingdom is a small coastal country. Its port is an important point of contact between the Eastern and Western Continents.

Aum Madaura

Voiced by:: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Dorah Fine (English)

The leader of the pirates who robbed ships and their valued contents near the Aktia Kingdom's port. The pirates were mostly made up of young children she kidnapped and brainwashed with her Magic Tool, "Holy Mother Halo Fan".

Bad Boss: Sinbad no Bouken shows her tossing a sick child slave with the intent of having her killed once Sinbad is under her control.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Harshly Averted. She gets torn by a mob of the kidnapped children's parents and finally decapitated by Hakuryuu.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Under her motherly smile and voice, she doesn't care at all for the children she kidnapped and brainwashed. She's been doing this as far back as Sinbad no Bouken.
Black Eyes of Crazy
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Revealed in the Sinbad no Bouken to have been the head of the Mariadel Company.
Child Soldier: Leads a bunch of them.
Compelling Voice: Her tool makes everyone see her words as those of their mother.
Didn't Think This Through: Her tool takes one's love for their mother and transfers it to her; which is why she uses children, but in the case of Aladdin, who never knew his mother, and Alibaba, who has been without one for a long time, it doesn't work very well. In the case of Hakuryuu, it transferred his hate... Leading to her capture and death.
Faux Affably Evil: Appears sweet, motherly, kind, and reasonable when she's actually cruel, manipulative, selfish, and egotistical.
Foreshadowing: Hakuryuu decapitating her serves to foreshadow his eventual killing of his own mother, in the very same way.
Karmic Death: Manipulates the feelings for motherhood in children to the point that they would die for her and gets killed by a boy who she attempted to manipulate the motherly feelings of.
Killed Off for Real: And rather brutally, by none other than Hakuryuu.
Meaningful Name: "The Great Holy Mother."
Mercy Kill: Hakuryuu says this is why he killed her, as she was going to be executed anyway and the crowd was trying to lynch her on the dock. But Alibaba doesn't buy it, as Hakuryuu showing off her head to her "children" was downright despicable.
More than Mind Control: Convinces children to follow her based on their innate desire for a "mother's love". Aladdin is able to resist this because he never knew his mother and never expected love from a mother. Alibaba is affected to some degree, but not completely because he still has his reasons abound. Morgiana is affected quite badly, probably because she's longing for a mother. Hakuryuu... well, just say that he has mother issues and leave it at that.
- Sinbad no Bouken shows she was doing this even as a merchant. She would have her child slaves tortured and then only showing her kind side to them after they've been broken down enough that they would do anything for her. After that, she only shows them a sweet side depending on how useful she considers them to be.
My Beloved Smother: Discussed. Aladdin realized that a person who controls your life forever can't be good at all, even if she calls herself "your mother" and one must cut the motherly bonds soon or later and be independent.
Off with Her Head!: Hakuryuu decapitates her.
Spell My Name With An S: "Umm Madaura" or "Aum Madaura".

Two merchant girls Aladdin meets at the start of his journey.

Tropes that apply to both:

Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: Sahsa's kindness is what made Leila give up being a thief. In return, Leila is extremely protective of her, and does not like Aladdin always giving Sahsa rather leacherous hugs.
Remember the New Guy?: The anime does this to them. They were featured with Aladdin in the first chapter of the manga, but that entire chapter was left out of the anime. When Aladdin later encounters them in the anime with Morgiana, he already knows them.

Professional Butt-Kisser: He is last seen happily groveling to the newly-wealthy Alibaba after Jamil's death.

Voiced by: Jun'ichi Suwabe (Japanese), Junko Minagawa (child, Japanese), Liam O'Brien (English), Amanda Céline Miller (child)

Chief of the Oasis Capital Qishan. A selfish, sadistic bastard that uses a variety of slaves to do his bidding. He was the first real opponent for Aladdin and Alibaba, and was Morgiana's slave owner, who treated her quite horribly.

Ax-Crazy: He's a sadistic sociopath who casually beats the hell out of his slaves with a smile on his face.
Bad Boss: Jamil seems friendly enough at first, but this only makes him more of a psychopath, in that he keeps up the friendliness whilst abusing his slaves.

Dirty Coward: When the dangers of the dungeon begin to show, he loses his amicable and threatening demeanor, becoming terrified and panicky.
Enfant Terrible: Morgiana's flashbacks show him abusing her even when they were both children.
Establishing Character Moment: Jamil is introduced as talking rather amicably with his slave, Morgiana, who returned to him even after being freed. His next scene is of him casually beating up his slaves without changing his happy expression and ranting about how he deserves to be King. This dichotomy becomes the focus of his arc.
Faux Affably Evil: He seemed to be a Reasonable Authority Figure, then we learn immediately of his sociopathic and sadistic nature.
Freudian Excuse: His parents died when he was a child, and he was taken in by a member of Al-Thamen, who deliberately raised him to be the cruel, selfish, abusive slave owner he is today. It does not excuse his actions by any means, but it does explain why he is the way he is.
Greed: Pretty much Jamil's character, as even as the chief of a city, he's not satisfied with what he has now.
Hate Sink: Looking at his horrible personality, the way he treats his slaves and just about everyone else around him, it's clear he's not to be liked in the slighted.
Humiliation Conga: Basically everything that Jamil experiences in Amon's dungeon.
Jerkass: He's selfish, cruel, and regularly abuses his slaves. Really, there's nothing redeeming or likable about him.

Killed Off for Real: In Amon's dungeon, he's crushed to death along with Goltas as the dungeon collapses.
Lack of Empathy: His treatment of Morgiana aside, when Alibaba takes Goltas hostage, his response is to stab the latter for being useless.
Psychopathic Man Child: He treats his slaves like toys he can own and play with, and throws tantrums when things don't go his way.
Stupid Evil: He's a impulsive manchild that is very poor planning
Small Name, Big Ego: Despite his position as the chief, Aladdin points out he completely lacks the qualifications of being a king.
The Sociopath: He was bred to be this way by Al-Thamen.
Starter Villain: Despite seeming to be a major threat, he was merely a normal man without even knowledge of Rukh, proper swordplay, or even languages.

Long-Lost Relative: Thanks to the type of sword he used, it's revealed that he came from the Kouga Clan.
Made a Slave: It's revealed he was originally a part of the Kouga clan before being enslaved.

These Hands Have Killed: He thinks that because he has killed, he has no right to try to go back to his clan.
The Voiceless: Jamil claims that he was injured in such a way that he can not speak.
We Hardly Knew Ye: He's only present during the Amon's Dungeon arc, but plays an ultimately significant role in it and Morgianna's development.

As soon as Morgiana breaks free and beats up said hyenas and tigers, he completely loses his cool and falls on his ass the minute she confronts him.
Freudian Excuse: Was broken down and made loyal to Madaura, only to be tossed aside the moment she got a better slave to act as overseeing her slave trade.
Gender-Blender Name
Guyliner: Wears lipstick as well as eyeliner.
He Who Fights Monsters: He was once a slave himself.
Jerkass: How else can you describe a guy who decides that the best way to deal with a sick little girl is to feed her to a pack of wild animals?
Kick the Dog: As if trying to feed a little girl who had developed a fever to a pack of hyenas instead of giving her medical treatment wasn't enough of a dick move, he decides to twist the knife even further by making Morgiana watch as he does so. After Morgiana had begged him to help said little girl, no less!
Makeup Is Evil
More than Mind Control: Like the other child slaves, he was broken down and made into an obedient servant of Madaura before Sinbad no Bouken.
Murder Is the Best Solution: When Morgiana begs him to help an ill girl he captured for use as a slave, he decides instead that feeding said ill girl to hyenas is a far better solution.
Parrot Pet Position: Has a pet hawk with poisoned claws that rides on his shoulder.
Sex Slave: Given to a male client for a night by Madaura after she saw him trying to frame Sinbad. He is eventually convinced to willingly be his slave by Madaura permanently the next day.
White Hair, Black Heart
Would Hurt a Child: Throws a girl into a pit of hyenas because she is sick and useless as a slave.

Yunan

Voiced by: Akira Ishida (Japanese), Max Mittelman (English)

One of the four current Magi, along with Scheherazade, Judar, and Aladdin. A wanderer who does as he pleases, currently living in the Great Rift on the way to the Dark Continent. Raised the first dungeon, Baal, 14 years before the start of the series, though he has never chosen a King Candidate.

Adaptation Dye-Job: The Adventure of Sinbad anime makes his silvery hair a much darker blond.
Born-Again Immortality: Yunan has already lived nine lives, in only his current body. Every time he dies, his Rukh is taken to the Sacred Palace and he revives in a body like Scheherazade did with Titus.
Braids of Action: Like the other Magi.
The Chooser of the One: He was the one who encouraged Sinbad to go into Baal.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's very laid-back, teases Sinbad about his age For the Lulz and is a bit of a Manchild, but he's a very powerful Magi and knowledgeable magician, and his Bolg alone can keep Sinbad away when he wants a private talk with Aladdin. When he and Arba clash, she's surprised that someone who hasn't fought for so long could do that well against her. Unfortunately, Arba is even stronger and able to heal from everything he throws at her.
Day Hurts Dark-Adjusted Eyes: He prefers dark places. In Adventure of Sinbad, Sinbad first met him after finding him inside a barrel; he lives in the Great Rift between the Dark Continent and he comments that Sindria's sunlight is too strong for him.
Dude Looks Like a Lady
Flying Broomstick: He uses his Magic Staff as one.
The Force Is Strong with This One: When Sinbad is born, Yunan feels his presence changing the world and wonders what he will become.
Friend to All Living Things: Always has numerous birds flying around him.
Good Is Not Soft: He admits to Aladdin that, while he's at his side, he himself is not entirely a good person.
Herald: Along with actually raising the first dungeon, Yunan was the one who showed Sinbad the path he could take to change the world.
Hermit Guru
Intergenerational Friendship: With Sinbad and Morgiana. Though his relationship with the former seems to be currently strained.
Kid with the Leash: He seems to be the only one that can keep Sinbad in line and talk back to him.
Little Stowaway: While not exactly "little" (though depending on how you see him); Yunan first encountered Sinbad when hiding inside a barrel within a Fruit Cart. It seems to be a Running Gag with individual Magi, considering how Aladdin met Alibaba in a near-identical way.
Manchild: He seems to be a little childish and cries very easily. He also can get bullied by children.
The Mentor: He trains Morgiana in how to best use her low amount of Magoi so that she can use her household vessel without fear of death.
Mundane Utility: He uses magic to 'play' with the atoms in order to create...a wooden house with everything included and food. The dream of every traveler.
Mysterious Backer: He's also supported by Ugo (and by extension, Solomon), and seems to know much more than Aladdin about what's going on in this world, but he doesn't help much aside from showing the path of what to do to others.
Mystical White Hair: His hair is platinum blonde, almost white, befitting his status as a powerful Magi.
Occult Blue Eyes
Oh, Crap!: When he sees Arba effortlessly heal from being blown to bits after his last desperate attack his facial expression makes it clear that he knows he's screwed.
Older Than He Looks: Along with Scheherazade.
Perpetual Smiler: A laid-back, friendly and calming smile. That actually hides a lot of secrets.
Robe and Wizard Hat
Shrouded in Myth
Super-Senses: To put an example, he knows that Sinbad is spying on him with a bird-looking magical tool and can hear his voice from the throne hall to the royal library.
Tears of Fear: When scared, he cries.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: It's revealed that, despite showing Sinbad the path to change the world and giving him the motivation to enter and conquer Baal, Yunan and Sinbad don't trust each other.
Threshold Guardian: To Morgiana. She meets him on her way to the Dark Continent and he tells her that she can't go home again if she continues on, because war is coming.
Walking the Earth: Wanders from place to place making dungeons randomly appear.
