The Sorcerer (Aladdin)

The sorcerer is a traveller from the Maghreb. Needing someone to retrieve the magical lamp for him, he pretends to be Aladdin's long lost uncle and, after winning the family over with gifts and flattery, promises to help him open a shop. Instead he takes him to the cave containing the magical lamp and sends him in, handing him a ring containing a genie. However, instead of helping Aladdin out, he demands the lamp and finally flies into a rage and blocks the cave entrance, and returns to Africa, leaving Aladdin there.
