His previous boss was an evil Moorish sorcerer, what Abdel discovered at the cost of one ear! The Moorish sorcerer being one of the magi sworn ennemies, Abdel found shelter at Isla de Encanta. To be accepted in the covenant, he leaded the magi to a fabulous mystical treasure: the legendary golden ship of Hassan-the-Blue the pirate (that the Moorish sorcerer had been wanting for years!). Abdel Hassan is now the Covenant's Autocrat.
