Paul Abdul

Paul Abdul is the young servant and assistant of Omar Al-Jabbar. He is a simple man who is unquestioningly loyal to his master and often will try to handle his master's public affairs in his stead to ensure Omar's privacy and safety. He will regularly run Omar's antique and pottery shop for him when Omar is too busy or unwilling to work.

His appearance and motives differs depending on which path the player takes in the Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis video game.

In the 'Team' path, Paul does not appear at all, with Omar running his shop personally.

In the 'Wits' path, he will try to broker a meeting between Indy and Omar after Indy shows him that he knows their friend Alain Trottier though all his attempts will end in failure. The player must trick Paul into wearing a fez so that they can easily keep track of him through the busy streets of Algiers and follow him to Omar's house, where Paul will promptly run to fetch the police as Omar refuses to welcome Indy in his house.

In the 'Fists' path, he will still need to be followed to Omar's house but he is already wearing the garish fez. Here, it is revealed that Omar is not actually refusing to see Indy- Omar is being interrogated at gunpoint by Nazi's. After Indy deals with the threat, Omar and Paul run to alert the authorities to the Nazi infiltration of Algeria.

Trivia
