After Williams' death in 2014, a dedicated drawing of the Genie appeared at the end of the first film on television programs.


Jafar

As Royal Vizier of Agrabah, Jafar (voiced by Jonathan Freeman in most cases, portrayed by
Marwan Kenzari Marwan Kenzari ( ar, مروان كنزاري; born 16 January 1983) is a Dutch actor born in The Hague, Netherlands. Starting his career in 2008, he first came to prominence for his role in the 2013 film ''Wolf'', which earned him a Golden Calf a ...
in the live-action film) was presented as the Sultan's most trusted and loyal councilman. Imperious, Jafar held passionate disdain for the head, and dedicated the latter half of his life to gaining ownership of a magic lamp containing an all-powerful genie—to that end, he would control cosmic power, to which he would use to overtake the Sultanate and the world at large. The 2019 film depicted him as being a thief who rose up to his current station, Jafar's motivation in taking over Agrabah is to enact revenge on the kingdom's neighboring ally Shirabad, the homeland of the Sultan's wife and Jasmine's late mother, while conquering the other kingdoms.


Iago

Iago (voiced by
Gilbert Gottfried Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried (February 28, 1955 – April 12, 2022) was an American stand-up comedian and actor, known for his exaggerated shrill voice, strong New York accent, and his edgy, often controversial, sense of humor. His numerous r ...

in the live-action film) is the pet and sidekick to Jafar, and later Aladdin, after a reformation. The red-plumed sentient bird is comical and sarcastic, and appears as a sort of cantankerous counterpart to Aladdin's monkey, Abu. Iago appears frequently as an antagonist in the Sega video game '' Disney's Aladdin'', where he is usually to be found flying at a high level, although he is easily dispatched and de-feathered with one blow from a sabre or thrown apple. In the 2019 film, Iago mostly talks like a parrot at different parts.


Abu

Abu (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is Aladdin's kleptomaniac monkey with a high-pitched voice. In '' Aladdin: The Series'', he is a voice of dissent whenever he is dragged along on one of Iago's harebrained schemes, although the two of them go from enemies to close friends over the course of the franchise. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have. The character is based on the similarly named Abu the thief, played by
Sabu Dastagir Sabu Dastagir (possibly born Selar Sabu; 27 January 1924 – 2 December 1963) was an Indian actor who later gained United States citizenship. Throughout his career he was credited under the name Sabu and is primarily known for his work in ...

in the live-action film) is Princess Jasmine's father and the pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah. Some aspects of the character were inspired in the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority figure. In the 2019 film, the Sultan's personality is more serious compared to his animated counterpart, but retains the original's kind and benevolent nature. In addition, it is revealed that his wife comes from the kingdom of Shirabad (which Jafar sought to conquer), who was murdered prior to the events of the film, causing the Sultan to keep their daughter inside the palace for protection. At the end of the film, he steps down from his position as the Sultan and passes it on to Jasmine.

Razoul

Razoul (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the Captain of the Royal Guards of Agrabah in all three films and the TV series. Although unnamed (on-screen) in the first film, his name was revealed in the sequel (he was named after layout supervisor
Rasoul Azadani Rasoul Azadani ( fa, رسول آزادانی, ; born 1965) is an Iranian animator, lighting designer and layout artist. He is best known for his work at Walt Disney Animation Studios. In 1995, he was nominated for an Annie Award in the category "B ...

Robby Haynes
This version appears as a minor character as a chief city guard in Agrabah. His role from the animated works is transferred to Hakim, who plays a larger role in the film in contrast to his minor role in animated predecessors.


Fazahl

Fazahl (voiced by Frank Welker, understudied by Jim Cummings in "Sneeze the Day") is one of Razoul's lieutenants. He is darkly colored and very fat, with a long mustache. His lines usually make reference to food.


Hakim

Hakim (voiced by Frank Welker in ''

in '' Aladdin and the King of Thieves'', portrayed by Numan Acar in the live-action film) is one of Razoul's lieutenants. He is pale, very thin and slightly shorter than Fazahl. His lines generally put a pessimistic take on the situation. In the 2019 film, Hakim is depicted as the head of the guards and the right-hand man of Jafar, but he becomes good at the end of the film, playing a similar role that Razoul played in the previous animated works. It was mentioned by Princess Jasmine when working to convince Hakim not to have the guards side with Jafar that his father had worked for the Sultan.


Nahbi

Nahbi (voiced by Frank Welker) is one of Razoul's lieutenants. He is muscular-looking yet short in stature.


Rajah

Rajah (vocal effects by Frank Welker) is Jasmine's pet tiger who displays dog and cat-like behavior. Unlike Abu, he is not anthropomorphized, but is still able to understand human language and emotions. Rajah appears in '' Ralph Breaks the Internet''. When Cinderella asks Vanellope if animals talk to her, Jasmine is seen hugging him. In the 2019 film, Rajah was seen with Jasmine and Dalia for much of the film. During the opening "Arabian Nights," Rajah slashes Iago with his claws because the macaw spied on Jasmine. He bites Prince Anders in the hand because Jasmine hated him and also because Anders called him a cat. He begins to bond with Aladdin when he's in his prince guise by licking his face. When Jafar becomes sultan temporarily, Rajah is imprisoned with the guards. After Jafar is defeated, he is present at Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.


The Peddler

The Peddler (voiced by
Robin Williams Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951August 11, 2014) was an American actor and comedian. Known for his improvisational skills and the wide variety of characters he created on the spur of the moment and portrayed on film, in dramas and come ...

In the original ending of ''Aladdin'', the Peddler, now a sailor, was revealed to be the Genie masquerading as a human (or having been turned to human, as suggested at the end), but this was cut from the final film. The directors of the film later revealed that the Peddler is still the Genie, despite the ending being deleted. Outside of the films, he appears in '' Disney's Aladdin'', selling extra lives and wishes to the player, while in '' Kingdom Hearts'' he is voiced by

and he plays a major role specifically in the second game where his greed and shrewdness are presented. In the 2019 film, the plans for the Genie being a mariner was used where he and Dalia have married sometime after Aladdin and Jasmine's marriage and they have two children.


Tiger God (Cave of Wonders)

The Tiger God (voiced by Frank Welker) is a giant head of a tiger made of sand and the neutral guardian of the Cave of Wonders. Its job is to protect the Genie's lamp and give it to those who are worthy while eliminating those who are not. The treasures hoarded inside the cave are used to test those who are worthy to enter as touching them will also cause the Tiger God to eliminate them as well. It was portrayed by computer-generated imagery, following reference drawings by animator Eric Goldberg. In the remake, the cave has a lion head-shaped stone entrance, rather than a tiger head rising from the sands, and does not move except when swallowing unwanted visitors.


Gazeem

Gazeem (voiced by Charlie Adler) is Jafar's criminal minion, seen just at the beginning of ''Aladdin'', used by his master to steal the other half of the scarab amulet used to summon the Cave of Wonders. Although his competence is called sufficiently into question for Iago to refer to him as a "bozo" and he does provide some mild comic relief, he admits to Jafar that he "slit a few throats" to get his prize. As soon as his half of the scarab is joined together with Jafar's, it comes to life and flies off to the cave's location and they follow its magical trail on horseback. When Gazeem attempts to enter, the cave demands to know who woke it up, and Gazeem introduces himself. The cave warns him that only one man, the Diamond in the Rough, whom the cave does not identify, may enter. Ordered to proceed by Jafar, Gazeem goes a little way into the cave and breathes a sigh of relief, when suddenly the cave roars furiously and collapses. Gazeem frantically tries to escape, but although he is still very close to the entrance, the entire cave roof comes crashing down, presumably killing Gazeem in the process. Having lost his accomplice, Jafar realizes that Gazeem was not the Diamond in the Rough and sets out to find this particular man who can enter the cave. In the ''Aladdin'' video game, Gazeem is the first

(or perhaps mini-boss) that the player meets, where his defeat results in his dropping half of the scarab amulet necessary to allow Aladdin to proceed to the Cave of Wonders at a subsequent level.


Prince Achmed

Prince Achmed (voiced by

when they get in his way, but Aladdin intervenes and insults him. In retaliation, Achmed publicly humiliates Aladdin by shoving him into a mud puddle and telling Aladdin that he is nothing but a "worthless street rat" and will always be one. The next day, he is seen furiously stomping out of the palace with his pants ripped and underwear showing, following an attack from Jasmine's pet tiger Rajah, yelling that he has never been so insulted. Achmed tells the Sultan to have good luck marrying his daughter off and it becomes clear he has no further interest in her. After that, Achmed is not seen again for the remainder of the franchise. In the 2019 film, he is replaced by Prince Anders (portrayed by

Farouk

Farouk (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a rather obese merchant from a fruit stand. When he sees Jasmine giving an apple to a hungry boy without paying, he is about to cut off her right hand, but Aladdin stops him by claiming Princess Jasmine is his mentally handicapped sister. Farouk is initially willing to accept this and let them go, but when he sees that Abu has himself stolen some of his apples, he realises, angrily, that he has been duped, but Aladdin and Jasmine leave before he can catch them. He is last seen briefly during the song " Prince Ali" when the Genie says "bang a drum" and raps his hands against his paunch. He later made several minor appearances during the TV series, selling fruit and water. In the live-action film, Farouk is replaced with a tone-downed bread vendor named Jamal (portrayed by Amir Boutrous). He attempts to remove Jasmine's bracelet instead of cutting her hand off, after discovering her giving a bread to some of the impoverished children without paying for it, but Aladdin intervenes in the manner similar as in the original film and the outcome is identical to the former one as he also called for the guards.


Omar

Omar (voiced by Charlie Adler in the first movie, Rob Paulsen in the TV series) is a merchant who sells watermelons in Agrabah's market. During the first film, Aladdin and Abu manage to steal a watermelon from his stall. He appears as a recurring character in TV series.


Appearing in ''The Return of Jafar''

*Abis Mal (voiced by Jason Alexander) is a childish and incompetent thief who dreams of enormous riches and does anything he can to get money. His first banter with Aladdin causes him to become a determined enemy towards him. His name is a pun of the word " abysmal", which is a reference to the outcomes of all his plans. Abis Mal appears in the TV series as the most commonly-appearing main villain. Here, his villainous deeds revolve around power as well as riches and many of his plans involve the use of magical artifacts or legendary creatures. At least one such episode reveals that he has a distant ancestor named Abnor Mal. ** Abis Mal's Thugs are many unnamed thieves who follow Abis Mal. They first appear in ''The Return of Jafar'' where they are shown to apparently resent his leadership and even try to kill him at a well before being scared off by Jafar's genie form. Abis Mal's minions reappear in the TV series where, though still under the lead of Abis Mal, they are shown to be involved in a limited number of his schemes. The most prominent instance is in the episode "Air Feather Friends" where they use the feathers of a baby roc to pose as wind demons to rob Agrabah. Other episodes where Abis Mal is shown being aided by his henchmen (aside from Haroud Hazi Bin) are "Forget Me Lots" where they join him in infiltrating the palace with the help of a brainwashed Jasmine, "Lost and Founded" where two of them aid Mal in traveling back in time to change history, and "Smolder and Wiser" where he ordered them to attack Aladdin for spying on him. Occasions where Mal's men appear without their leader are typically at the Skull and Dagger, the cafe headquarters of Agrabah's guild for thieves and criminals, often referred to by Abis Mal himself as a "den of thieves". In both ''The Return of Jafar'' and their speaking appearances on the show, different voice actors have voiced members of Abis Mal's Thugs: Jeff Bennett,

, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen, and Frank Welker.


Appearing in the TV series

*Amin Damoola (voiced by Jeff Bennett impersonating Peter Seller) is a clumsy, cowardly, and incompetent thief, who appears in four episodes. Amin always finds a way to cause trouble for Aladdin (and usually ends up in trouble himself). Some of these ways are stealing a magical glove, creating a large green frilled lizard-like dragon, and getting a bunch of magical tools from Mozenrath. In his last episode he was working for Mozenrath who realized too late a mistake in hiring Damoola; when Damoola is down to two of his last two magical tricks, Mozenrath gives him a simple choice: succeed in stealing the Sultan and become the greatest thief in Agrabah, or face Mozenrath's anger and be forced to serve him for the remainder of his life. True to form Damoola is defeated by Aladdin and Genie; an enraged Mozenrath did not take his failure too well, and it is likely that he possibly turned him into a mamluk, a zombie soldier, or something even worse as punishment. His first name ( Amin) is common in
Arabic Arabic (, ' ; , ' or ) is a Semitic language spoken primarily across the Arab world.Semitic languages: an international handbook / edited by Stefan Weninger; in collaboration with Geoffrey Khan, Michael P. Streck, Janet C. E.Watson; Walter ...
, but his last name (Damoola) is a play on words referring to his insatiable greed. Amin is so incompetent as a thief that he is nicknamed "Butterfingers" by his fellow criminals. However, he dislikes this nickname so much that he is willing to start a fight. *Arbutus (voiced by Ron Perlman) is a sorcerer who only appeared in the episode "Garden of Evil". He has the power to make vegetation and flora immediately grow and manipulate them to his will. His name comes from the tree genus
Arbutus ''Arbutus'' is a genus of 12 accepted speciesAct. Bot. Mex no.99 Pátzcuaro abr. 2012.''Arbutus bicolor''/ref> of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, native to warm temperate regions of the Mediterranean, western Europe, the Canary Islan ...
. While not evil in nature, he has more in common with plants than with humans and sees most humans as enemies for killing his beautiful works of art for their crass purposes. He sees himself as an artist and makes most plants grow with the intention of creating something beautiful, even during battle. He is especially appreciative of 'living beauty' and while he prefers plants he is aware that other organisms such as birds and even humans can enhance his artwork. Many years ago, a younger Sultan came to the garden of Arbutus because he had heard that the most beautiful flowers grew there, to pick a flower for his bride. Arbutus did not attempt to harm the Sultan upon his entry, as he admired the beauty of the garden. But the sorcerer was enraged when the Sultan plucked a flower, effectively killing it. To allow the Sultan to go free he demanded that in 20 years time he be given the Sultan's most precious treasure. Desperate to escape and not fully grasping Arbutus' meaning, the Sultan quickly agreed and hurried away. Twenty years later, Arbutus came to Agrabah for the Sultan's most precious treasure — Jasmine. At no point in the episode does he make any attempt to physically harm Jasmine despite holding her captive, and even befriends her briefly due to her gentle words, her appreciation of his artwork, and the fact that she is named after a flower. Arbutus' only weakness is the rose on his

. Once it is cut off, he withers and dies, as does the beautiful garden which he created. Princess Jasmine explains to Aladdin that Arbutus is not evil, only "different", and she, Aladdin, the Sultan and the Genie replant the flower, which perks up, and a deep inhalation is heard, suggesting that Arbutus might still be alive. *Aziz (voiced by Michael Bell) is one of Aladdin's first adversaries in the series. He is a small and ugly man, later turned to a

. Almost all of Mozenrath's power comes from a magical gauntlet he wears on his right arm. He is the third major arch enemy that Aladdin faces (after Abis Mal and Mechanicles). Mozenrath is just as evil as Jafar, with Iago once referring to him as "Jafar Junior", comparing the two sorcerers' ambition and cruelty. In the episode "Black Sand", Mozenrath was seen in Jafar's lab and Iago asked him if he knew Jafar. Despite their similarities, there is no connection between Jafar and Mozenrath. Due to the price of the gauntlet's power, Mozenrath's right arm has become completely skeletal, and it has implied that the gauntlet will eventually kill him. He is the ruler of the Land of the Black Sand, this kingdom has naturally black sand, the sun is always blocked by clouds, and the only residents are himself, his flying eel sidekick Xerxes, and an army of undead Mamluks. He is quite open and accepting about his own cruelty, and he prides himself on his ruthlessness. He took control of the Land of the Black Sand from its former ruler, the sorcerer Destane. According to Iago, Destane was "a real hard case. Even Jafar steered clear of him." Mozenrath explained that Destane was like a father to him until he "stole his power and his throne", and even "stole his humanity", turning him into one of his Mamluks. Mozenrath's main goal is to become the world's most powerful wizard and to rule the other six kingdoms of the Seven Desertd. While he and his undead Mamluk soldiers have secure control over the Land of the Black Sand, they are not powerful enough to conquer the other kingdoms that Mozenrath seeks to rule. Because of this, his plots and schemes usually involve obtaining more magic and becoming more powerful. Before he can accomplish his goal of total despotic rule he must overcome the only two obstacles to his plan laddin and Genie Through the course of the series he tried to kill Aladdin and his friends multiple times. He also attempted to capture the Genie several times to use his magic for his own purposes. Despite Mozenrath's determined and ruthless attitude, he seems to enjoy bantering and tormenting Aladdin and his friends. At his first meeting with Aladdin, he is polite and even friendly until he shows his lack of compassion for others. This is when Aladdin makes it clear he does not wish to work with Mozenrath. In subsequent appearances, Mozenrath often loses interest in his plans as soon as they are defeated and does not attempt to kill Aladdin after their battles have ended. His overall demeanor is one of boredom and impatience. After being defeated by Aladdin multiple times in the course of the series, Mozenrath's final appearance his magical gauntlet has physically exhausted Mozenrath to the extent that he tries and fails to take over Aladdin's mind and body and ends with him losing his gauntlet and being sent away in a giant balloon with his sidekick Xerxes by the Genie. Originally, in ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'', Mozenrath was the main villain, and the plot of the film was going to reveal that he and Aladdin were brothers. However, according to one of the writers of the film, the plot was changed because the development team did not want the film to be tied to the television series too much and were also unable to get in contact with Jonathan Brandis (Mozenrath's voice actor), which prompted them to change the storyline and move onto another one of Aladdin's relatives: his father. *Xerxes (voiced by Frank Welker) is a flying eel who is Mozenrath's loyal sidekick. *The

, singing voice provided by Merwin Foard) is Aladdin's long-lost widowed father. Long before the events of the first film, he left his wife and newborn son in Agrabah to find the legendary Hand of Midas so that he could provide a better life for the poverty-stricken family, not wanting to be looked down upon. Some time later, he fell in with the Forty Thieves, eventually becoming their leader (the "King of Thieves"), and incorporated a new law: never hurt the innocent. One of his goals is to find the Oracle that would guide him to the Hand. Eventually, Cassim's travels brought him back to Agrabah, having learned that the Oracle was inside the Sultan's royal treasure room, ironically on his own son's wedding day to Princess Jasmine. Having his men create a distraction, Cassim infiltrates the treasure room and finds the Oracle, but is intercepted by Aladdin and the two fight, both unaware that they are father and son, and Cassim is forced to retreat empty-handed. After the incident at the wedding, Aladdin uses the Oracle to learn that his father is alive and finds him with the Forty Thieves, only learning there and then that he is their leader. He and Cassim finally meet when Sa'luk tries to mutiny and kill Cassim for their unsuccessful raid on the palace. Cassim avoids having Aladdin killed by having him fight Sa'luk. After Aladdin defeats Sa'luk by kicking him off a cliff (although he survives), Cassim states that the Code of the 40 Thieves is clear on this point and states that he is in. When he tells Aladdin of the Hand of Midas and joins him in Agrabah, Aladdin had to talk Genie down when Aladdin introduced him, but unbeknownst to them, Cassim is still attempting to get the Orcale with Iago now helping him. Cassim and Iago found where the Oracle is, only for them to be ambushed by Razoul and the guards, having been alerted of their presence by Sa'luk. When the Sultan learned that Cassim is the King of Thieves, he had no choice but to have Cassim and Iago locked in the dungeon with a life sentence, with Cassim explaining to Aladdin that he cannot change who he is. With help from Aladdin and Genie, Cassim and Iago got out and left with the Oracle, but Aladdin refuses to accompany them as he wishes to explain things to the Sultan. Returning to Mount Sesame, he finds that Sa'luk had turned 7 of the 40 Thieves that evaded capture against him, believing that he sold them out (not realizing that it was Sa'luk who sold them out). Sa'luk then has Cassim call the Oracle to guide them to the Hand of Midas. The Oracle guides them to the Vanishing Isle, a castle fortress on the back of a giant turtle. Thanks to Iago getting away, Aladdin, Genie, and Carpet head there to rescue Cassim. Cassim and Aladdin fight Sa'luk over the Hand of Midas which ends with Sa'luk accidentally turned to gold. Now realizing that his son is the treasure of his life, Cassim discards the Hand of Midas into the sea and reconciles with Aladdin, finally freed from his greed. Cassim also showed up to indirectly congratulate him after watching his and Jasmine's wedding from the shadows, since the Sultan has only punished him with an exile and then is still a wanted man before his departure. He leaves too soon to travel the world for some time along with Iago, who thinks he's finally found a great companion. In '' Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams'' it is not confirmed, but since Iago has returned to Agrabah as his travels with Cassim at the end, even Aladdin's father is certainly returned. However, just like Aladdin and Genie, he does not appear since the main focus is about Jasmine. While not appearing in the live-action remake of the original film, Aladdin's father is mentioned. While Aladdin explicitly states to Jasmine that his mother is dead, he responds that he "lost both his parents" when he was very little when she asks about his father, leaving it ambiguous as to whether or not he is alive in the remake.


Sa'luk

Sa'luk (voiced by
Jerry Orbach Jerome Bernard Orbach (October 20, 1935 – December 28, 2004) was an American actor and singer, described at the time of his death as "one of the last'' bona fide'' leading men of the Broadway musical and global celebrity on television" and a " ...
) is the main antagonist of the third film. He is a ruthless, aggressive brute, and he seems to have pleasure in killing. Sa'luk is the right-hand man of Cassim, the King of Thieves, although he resents him. He is also shown to be a strong fighter. After the incident at the wedding, Sa'luk tried to strike Cassim only for Aladdin to intervene. Cassim avoids having Aladdin killed by having him fight Sa'luk in an initiation duel. After Aladdin supposedly kills Sa'luk by causing him to fall into the sea, Cassim states that the Code of the 40 Thieves is clear on this point and states that he is in. Though Sa'luk survives and makes his way to Agrabah. Sa'luk gives the hideout's password to Razoul in exchange for immunity from prosecution. This led to 33 of the 40 Thieves getting arrested, though a guard tells Razoul that the Sultan will not sentence them until after Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding. Sa'luk was displeased that Cassim is not among them (because he was not at the hideout around this time) as he informs Razoul that Aladdin's father is the King of Thieves. Sa'luk heads back to Mount Sesame and rallies the seven thieves that evaded capture to side with him after convincing them that Cassim sold them out, not knowing that it was he who sold them out. When Cassim and Iago return to the hideout, they are captured by Sa'luk and forced to call forth the Oracle who leads them to the Vanishing Isle where the Hand of Midas is located. During Aladdin and Cassim's fight with Sa'luk, the Hand of Midas is tossed where Sa'luk touched the hand part instead of the handle and is turned to gold. His lifeless body then falls into the waters below. After the Vanishing Isle disappears back underwater, Sa'luk is taken along with it.


Forty Thieves

The Forty Thieves are a group of thieves and assassins that are led by Cassim with Sa'luk as his second-in-command. They make their headquarters in Mount Sesame by the sea where it can be accessed by saying "Open Sesame". That creates a path in the water to Mount Sesame. Cassim had a rule where its members are not to harm the innocent, much to the dismay of Sa'luk. Some of the minor unnamed members of the gang resemble many of Abis Mal's henchmen, as well as a couple of the unnamed thieves who appeared at the Thieves' Quarters on the TV show, though it's not certain whether or not these are the same characters. The Forty Thieves are first seen when they crash Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding looking for the Oracle. They fled after Aladdin and his friends fended them off. After learning about Cassim being "trapped in their world," Aladdin finds the Forty Thieves' hideout and spies on them. When Sa'luk got tired of Cassim's rule and tried to attack him, Aladdin intervened and revealed to Cassim that he is his son. To evade having Aladdin executed, Cassim had Aladdin fight Sa'luk in an initiation duel. This fight was fierce until they end up on the cliffside where Sa'luk fell to his apparent death. The thieves pulled Aladdin up from the cliffside and brought him before Cassim. Cassim states to Aladdin "You killed Sa'luk. The Code of the 40 Thieves is clear on this point. You're in." The 40 Thieves then began singing "Welcome to the 40 Thieves." Sa'luk is shown to have survived the fall and made his way to Agrabah. In exchange for amnesty from arrest, Sa'luk tells Razoul how to get into Mount Sesame to catch the King of Thieves. After Aladdin and Cassim left for Agrabah, Razoul and his guards show up. When Razoul forgets how the password goes, Fazahl quoted to Razoul that he thought the password he was told was "Open Sesame". This grants Razoul passage into Mount Sesame, which led to 33 of the 40 Thieves being captured and thrown in the dungeon. They were enraged at Sa'luk for selling them out and vow revenge on him, but he ignores this by closing the prison cell's window on them. Sa'luk realizes that Cassim is not among them as Razoul reveals that he was not at Mount Sesame. A guard interrupts them and tells Razoul that the Sultan will not be able to sentence them until after Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding. After stating to Razoul that Cassim is the King of Thieves (leading to the latter's arrest), Sa'luk heads to Mount Sesame and persuades the seven thieves that evaded capture that Cassim sold them out, although they were at first skeptical as they are aware of Sa'luk's resentment towards Cassim. When Sa'luk (now the thieves' new leader) and the seven thieves capture Cassim and Iago upon his return out of revenge for his apparent betrayal, they take their boat out to sea as they use Cassim to activate the Oracle to find the Hand of Midas. This takes them to the Vanishing Isle (a fortress built on the back of a giant turtle) as Iago escapes to warn Aladdin. After Aladdin, Genie, Carpet, and Iago arrive, they fight some of them before Genie attempts to keep the turtle from diving. When Cassim throws the Hand of Midas to the sea, it hits the Sa'luk's boat before landing in the water. This leaves the seven thieves working to survive their boat's sinking as they are left stranded in the ocean. It is unknown what happens to them afterwards.
