Main characters
[edit]- Aladdin (アラジン, Arajin)
- Voiced by: Kaori Ishihara[1] (Japanese); Erica Mendez[2] (English)
- Aladdin is a mysterious young boy with a huge djinn within his flute named Ugo. He travels in search of metal vessels that contain other djinns to find similar beings like Ugo. Aladdin enters the world with a pure and innocent, yet a wise and optimistic personality that dislikes fighting. Unknown to him early on, he has been sent to earth in order to stop a tragedy that will corrupt and destroy the world. Although a child, Aladdin loves to bury his face on the breasts of the beautiful ladies he meets, the larger the better. Known as a 'Magi' (a wizard of creation),[3] he is able to gather unlimited Magoi, (unlike normal magicians), provided from the Rukh to power his magic. He also loves to eat a lot, far more than the amount of an average boy his age, and has a tendency to “steal” sometimes in order to satisfy his hunger. Aladdin is considered special among the other Magi because in all of history, there were only three living Magi at the same time, but for the first time, a fourth Magi (Aladdin) appears while the other three are still alive, and later it is revealed that he is the son of king Soloman. He also has the ability to materialize the djinn 'Ugo' that lies within his flute, though he has only his body. The flute is also the main cause of Aladdin’s hunger, as it uses magoi from Aladdin. In addition, he has a magical turban that when unwrapped, acts as a magic carpet. He enters the earth with Ugo and upon his arrival, he makes his first human friend, meeting Alibaba Saluja, whom he chooses as his kings candidate, not to become the ruler of a single nation unlike Sinbad, but to help him inspire others with his kindness, optimism, and leadership. Aladdin helps Alibaba in his conquest to capture the dungeon Amon and helps free Morgiana, a former slave of the king of Qishan, Jamil. Later Aladdin is blessed with the Wisdom of Solomon (ソロモンの知恵, Soromon no Chie), after Ugo gets destroyed by Ren Kougyoku. The Wisdom of Soloman allows Aladdin to contact the souls of the dead that lie within the guidance of Rukh, which later he perfects to grant him their knowledge as well as learning magic from the past. Aladdin does not know much about his identity and the world he was sent to. He encounters another Magi in Balbadd, Judar, but this Magi had dark Rukh, the opposite of white Rukh, which implies that the person has cursed his fate. After helping Alibaba in Balbadd by helping defeating Judar and Alibaba’s adopted brother Cassim, he sets off with him and Morgiana Kingdom of Sindria, where he learns more about magic with the court magician and one of the eight generals, Yamraiha. He meet Hakuryuu Ren and helps him along with Alibaba and Morgiana, to capture the dungeon of Zagan, where they encounter Al-Thamen members, Ithnan, Dunya, and Isaac. Aladdin and everyone defeat them, and after returning to Sindria, he comforts Dunya in her final moments and reveals that he is going to go on a journey to further study at Magnostadt's magic academy by disguised as a normal magician, while taking the opportunity to investigate its connection with Al-Thamen. During his stay at Magnostadt, as Magnostadt is being invaded by the Reim Empire, Aladdin joins the fight to put an end to the conflict, making use of his newfound experience combined with his abilities as a Magi to repel the invaders while protecting both friend and foe from harm. Although it seems as if Aladdin is supporting Magnostadt, he simply does not want conflict rather a peaceful solution, and disagrees on the ties of Magnostadt to Al-Thamen. Aladdin along with many king vessels and dungeon capturers, witness the power of the medium; summoned by Matal Mogammet who resorted to summoning black djinns to defend his country from Reim, unintentionally helping Al-Thamen. After the medium gets stopped, Aladdin gets claimed by Kouen who bring up his Aladdin’s promise that he will tell him all about the past and the other world, Alma Torran. Once reunited with Alibaba, Aladdin finally reveals his true mission to destroy Al-Thamen Aladdin joins the summit held by many empires and Alliances, and he reveals the tragedy of Alma-Torran, mankind's original world whose survivors were transferred to the current world by Ugo. Aladdin is suddenly interrupted by a fallen Hakuryuu who created a civil war in the Kou Empire. He fights Judar, his Magi, and wins, but loses Alibaba as he was killed by Hakuryuu. Aladdin, now upset about losing his friend, but has resolve to try and find a way to revive Alibaba and still stop Al-Thamen. After fighting against Gyokuen and Sinbad, Aladdin vanishes without a trace, until Alibaba returns to the world of the living and upon contacting his longtime friend, it is revealed that he took refuge in the Dark Continent with Morgiana and Hakuryuu, and the three reunite with Alibaba after returning from there. Aladdin along with Alibaba, Judar, and Hakuryuu, all join forces to stop Sinbad, after he rewrote the Rukh of all people. After facing trials of the dungeons that Sinbad gave, David reveals himself and takes over the sacred palace.

- Voiced by: Yūki Kaji[1] (Japanese); Erik Scott Kimerer[2] (English)
- Alibaba Saluja is an ambitious young man. Although he was originally from the slums, after his mother died, he was taken in by his father, Balbadd's King, as the third prince. Whenever possible, he began to study languages, economics, sword play, and more in order to learn how to become a good ruler. Hence, his forte was in Balbadd's Royal Sword Play. However, his bed-ridden father died after an incident involving him and his childhood friend Cassim, who put Balbadd’s palace on fire. Feeling responsible for it, he left Balbadd. Upon meeting Aladdin in the city of Qishan, he captures the 7th Dungeon, "Amon" with his help. With the treasures acquired from it, he became the lord of Qishan after defeating the former king Jamil and frees all of the slaves he owned, including Morgiana. He returns to Balbadd after having no news of Aladdin, where he joins the Fog Troupe, a band of Robin Hood-esque thieves armed with magic tools started by Cassim. Alibaba, now as "The Wonder Man Alibaba" wants to stop the tyrannical rule of his older brother, King Abhmad. With help from Aladdin and his friends, Alibaba finds a pacifistic solution by having the monarchy dissolved and making the country into a republic, despite losing its sovereignty to the Kou Empire. Since then he trains swordsmanship with Sinbad's general Sharrkan before setting to the Reim Empire's colosseum to learn to control his Magoi with the Yambala Gladiators and unlock the full power of Amon. Upon arriving there, Alibaba learns that the Magoi in his body is in disarray because of Cassim's Magoi that somehow got inside him, interfering with his own Magoi, allowing him to upgrade his powers when he properly fuses the two Magoi into one single entity. Alibaba's training helped him to complete his Djinn equip and perfect his skills to the point of fighting on par with Mu Alexius, who is considered the greatest warrior in Reim. Upon learning about the impending war on Magnostadt, Alibaba decides to reunite with Aladdin, who is studying there, appearing in the nick of time to stop Mu from destroying the entire city with his Djinn, and later, assists Kouha Ren and his army against Mogamett's Dark Djinns. Once the Black Rukh medium is unleashed, Alibaba joins the other Dungeon Capturers from Kou and Reim, along Sinbad and his fellow allies to fight it. After returning to Sindria, Alibaba is summoned by Kouen Ren to meet him and Aladdin in Balbadd, but doubting of his intentions, he decides to depart there by himself, accompanied by Morgiana and some other friends against his will. In the occasion, his friends Olba and Toto also become members of his household. As a consequence of a fight against Hakuryuu, Alibaba's soul is sent to another world while his body stayed in the mortal world under Yunan's care during three years until his body and soul merged again and he is brought back to life. In the occasion, he learns a special ability that gives him unparalleled reflexes. As of current, Alibaba meets Sinbad in the new world 3 years after his apparent death, seemingly to check if Sinbad was himself or if he was being controlled. Consequently, he heads towards the Kou Empire, now in a dire economic crisis, in search of clues to the whereabouts of Aladdin and Morgiana. There he finds out that Hakuryuu has stepped down from the throne and is missing. With Ren Kougyoku crowned as the new empress of the Kou Empire, Alibaba joins forces with her to prevent the Kou Empire from going bankrupt, but his efforts so far are being hindered by no other than Sinbad himself, who intends to have the Kou Empire ruined in order to force it to join the International Alliance, but accepts his challenge head on, later reuniting with Aladdin, Hakuryuu and Morgiana, who were in the Dark Continent. After realizing what Sinbad has done to the world by rewriting the Rukh and brainwashing them, he confronts Sinbad along with Aladdin, Judar, and Hakuryuu. Alibaba fights Sinbad and the trials of the seven dungeons he has given them. Afterwards, he manages to convince Sinbad a proper way to converge dimensions vertically and horizontally. However, David appears and takes over the sacred palace, also bringing himself to the world to destroy everything. Alibaba using everything he has attempts to stop him as much as possible, but as things get worse, they become even worse once the allies of Alibaba from all over the world join David to fight against him (due to their Rukh being rewritten). With all he has, he fights the world alone until finally, the spell gets rewritten. Alibaba and his allies start targeting the dungeons that have once reappeared again. After David finally gets killed by Sinbad, the world is at peace. Alibaba proposes to Morgiana, and marries her. In the bonus manga of the final volume, Alibaba is seen going on another adventure with Aladdin, dragging Judar with him to the dark continent.

At least one of the djinn he obtained came from a dungeon created by Judar and was conquered without his permission, as part of his intention to stop Al-Thamen's plans. Because he has mastered so many djinn, Sinbad and his retainers are forbidden from entering in any more dungeons by the other djinn. He meets Aladdin and his friends in Balbadd while trying to reestablish trade. After helping them save the country, he takes the three companions to Sindria under his protection to join his cause. Trained in Magoi manipulation by the Yambala Gladiators, he once absorbed the Black Rukh of thousands of fellow Parthevians who fell into depravity, but despite half of his body ends up corrupted, oddly he does not exhibit any of the expected symptoms of one with such condition.

He befriends Aladdin's group when they were all Sinbad's guests in Sindria. They conquered a dungeon together and he obtained his own djinn equipment but lost his left hand in the process. In the manga Hakuryuu loses his hand when it becomes corrupted after Ithnan's snake form bites him; in the anime Isaac severed the hand while protecting Alibaba from him. Hakuryuu eventually falls in love with Morgiana and promises to return when he is a man worthy of asking for her hand in marriage.

However, after failing to quell a series of rebellions in the Empire, Hakuryuu abdicates in favor of his sister Kōgyoku. However, as he did not surrender his metal vessels by order of the International Alliance, he is considered a dangerous runaway along other king vessels who refused to so as well, like Yamato Takeruhiko, the king of Kina and Nerva Julius, the former heir of the Reim Empire.

Hakuei is last seen asking for Sinbad's help to assist Hakuryuu in the Kou Civil War, but once the war ends, it is revealed that her body is possessed by Arba's rukh. However, Hakuei's body is freed from Arba's control by Aladdin, who uses alchemical magic to deconstruct and recompose her in a slightly different way so that she could not be used as a vessel, as Arba can only possess the bodies of her descendants, expelling her mother's rukh from her.

He hid the fact that his sister died in an epidemic that swept the slums a year after he was taken into the palace from Alibaba when he snuck out one night three years later. Cassim used Alibaba's knowledge of the tunnels to rob the royal treasury, which brought about the already-frail king's death. When Alibaba returns to Balbadd, Cassim manipulates him into joining the Fog Troupe. When Alibaba comes with a peaceful solution for the conflict in Balbadd, he does not agree with the idea and incites a rebellion instead.

Throughout history, they had infiltrated several countries, interfering negatively in their societies with the pretense of providing assistance to them. Most of Al Thamen's agents are in fact artificial beings, each created from a hollow Matryoshka-like object whose true form is revealed when defeated.
According to Aladdin, the organization was responsible for the event that caused the destruction of mankind's previous world, Alma Torran, by summoning the corrupt god "Ill Ilah" and intends to do so in the current world as well. To accomplish that, it is necessary to gather a huge amount of Black Rukh in one place, thus their efforts to ensure that more and more people fall into depravity. After Sinbad establishes the International Alliance and Arba joins forces with him, they start focusing on obtaining access to the "Golden Palace", claiming that they intend to turn Sinbad into the ultimate king, but they actually intend to fuse him with "Ill Ilah".

Later it is revealed that she was one of the three Magi who served under Solomon. Arba originally was created as Solomon's servant and knew him since his birth. They shared a close bond, but due to her being his servant, she felt obliged to address him more formally. However, Solomon did not approve of this, and would constantly scold her for it after their escape from the church. She later convinces Sheba to marry Solomon while she claims will remain beside him only as a protector, to defend him from all enemies, no matter the means used for it. However, she turned on her master when he decided to share the energy of God with all creatures, humans and non-humans alike, leading her to establish Al-Thamen and stage a revolt in Alma-Torran and cause its ruin by staging the descent of "Ill Ilah". Gyokuen is defeated and beheaded by Hakuryuu, with Judar's help, but while it appears that she was defeated for good, Arba reappears, possessing Hakuei's body.

After Sinbad's friends from the Sindria Trading Company get the best of her with their own scheme, she is left with a massive debt, and is forced to relinquish all her assets to them, including Sinbad, Masrur and all the other slaves under hers, which Sinbad set free, thus leaving her bankrupt.

She is confronted by Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana and Hakuryuu who defeat her crew until she attacks them with the fan.
