Abdulla Doo, son of Ali, grandson of Hasan. He is the Master Merchant of Shapeir.

Background[]

He was a master merchant of the desert city of Shapeir. In his youth he was a poet and also a trader and in his travels around the desert he fought many monsters. He also claims to be the best cook, with Shema second to him.

Abdulla attempted to become rich by merchandising farthest from his homeland as ever, guiding his caravan to the Spielburg Valley through the Spielburg Pass. Unfortunately he with his six guards and assistants were robbed by 19 brigands and a minotaur. The Brigand Warlock threw some powder to them causing them to tear and sneeze.

Abdulla claimed to have killed many brigands but his guards were thought to have been killed or had run away.[1] In fact it is possible that not one man died.[2] He was taken in by his friends Shameen and Shema, a pair of Kattas from Shapeir and without his magic carpet they could not return to their homeland. Abdulla would be found in the Hero's Tale Inn for supper.

After the Hero defeated the brigands, Shameen, Shema and Abdulla bring the hero back to Shapeir on Abdulla's magic carpet.

In the second game, Abdulla once again spends his time in the company of Shameen and Shema in the new Katta's Tail Inn in Shapeir, he appears on the days 1, 5 and 14, and he provides the Hero with basic information about the Elementals. Upon their arrival in the city, he gave his magic carpet to the Sultan as a gift, and the Sultan rewarded him with great wealth.

Abdulla is portrayed as an honorable, compassionate merchant with a strong love for food, Shema's tea, and Shapeirian culture. He is boastful, but cares very deeply for his friends.
