Appearance
 |
He is a tall man with long hair and a sadistic smile at all times. He is usually seen with a black crow on his shoulders. He wears a long drab and a sash across his torso.
Personality
He is a sadistic man that when he wants something he will take out anyone that gets in his way. He is a slave trader and is very interested in slaves that can get him a good price.
When he was a teenager, he was already cruel and insensitive, and he was very conceited of his position as Maader's head slave, which was the proof of her trust in him. He was one of "her children" and he was filled with adoration towards her.
History
Fatima was once Umm Madaura's slave and was probably like her other slaves a war orphan or a child with no relatives who was taken in by Maader as a slave. He had earned her complete trust and was rewarded with the status of "head slave", which meant he was her right-hand man and had enough power to decide each slave's course of life, whether he was kept in Maader's home or just sold off on the market.
When Sinbad was appointed assistant head slave, Fatima was jealous at the clear difference in treatment, and released all the slaves, intending to frame Sinbad to get Maader's trust all to himself. Maader knew it was Fatima, and later sold him off to an old man after brainwashing him to believe it was all because he was one of her favorite slaves.
Fatima later kills his owner while taking care of him on a trip to a hot spring. This happens after he hears that Maader had gone missing. Shocked by this fact Fatima decides that he would become a perfect person since Madder was unable to and has since then lived under the identity of a slave merchant.
Plot
Morgiana Arc
Fatima bumps into Leila and calls her vulgar when she yells at him. He then leaves, bringing the people that he captured with him. He then heads over to the thieves' fortress.[1]
Fatima has a meeting with S Nando. When he is notified that a girl is attacking, he starts watching the fight. He notices that she is from the Fanalis warrior tribe. He then asks S Nando if he can capture her, for which he receives permission. Then, he whistles for a Desert Crow to attack and poison her. When asked if he's a leader of the group, he replies he's a Slave Trader. After that, he explains to her what he has done to her.[2]
As he carries Morgiana, he says he's lucky to capture a Fanalis girl. He then explains how valuable Fanalis are, since they're living weapons. He recalls that once he managed to capture an adult Fanalis and sold him for a lot of money. However, as that Fanalis was able to break free from his chains, Fatima puts Morgiana into special shackles made especially for her kind.[3]
When Nadja gets a fever, Morgiana asks him for a help. Realizing her state isn't the best, he thinks of her as of someone useless and orders of her disposal. He then drops her into a cage of Desert Hyenas. When Morgiana tries to save her, he tells her that she cannot break the shackles.[4] He is shocked when Morgiana jumps into the cage. When Morgiana breaks the shackles and gets out of the cage, he gets tigers and vultures to attack Morgiana and Nadja. When Morgiana beats all the tigers and vultures, he sits down and gives up. He then tries to reason with her, but all she wants is the keys. He then slumps over and breaks down. Before that however, he promises to kill her.[5]
