Abdullah functions as a recurring antagonist, originating from the Horrus Empire and operating in Baghdad as a self-proclaimed sorcerer who frequently declares himself the "best wizard in Baghdad." He possesses a short stature, a hairless head, and a consistently portly build.

His core objective involves the persistent kidnapping of Princess Shalala of Baghdad, intending to forcibly marry her to his unspecified master. He deploys magical abilities fueled by specialized bills attached to his head, typically concealed within his turban; his magic fails when these bills are depleted.

Significant artifacts in his possession include a magic lamp and a flying carpet. The lamp contains a Genie, a powerful but unintelligent giant entity capable of flight who shares Abdullah's fondness for lizard tails. After an initial time displacement, Abdullah also carries Tondekeman, the kettle-shaped time machine, concealed within his belly.

His established pattern involves abducting Princess Shalala and utilizing Tondekeman to create dimensional holes, enabling escape to various historical periods and locations. Despite persistent efforts, these kidnapping attempts consistently end in failure, forcing retreat through time or abandonment of plans. Abdullah maintains a consistent role focused on pursuit and evasion across different eras, without significant development or change in his core motivations or methods.
