Sultan (individual)

The Sultan was the ruler of the Hatay in 1938. When Walter Donovan and his Nazi colleagues sought to enter Hatay to search for the Holy Grail, they needed the Sultan's permission to cross Hatay's border. The Sultan, who valued technology over mysticism, did not believe in the legend of the Grail, and considered it a foolish quest, but was willing to allow them do as they wished in exchange for suitable compensation. He turned down the gold and jewels donated by the finest families in Germany. However, he allowed them passage and even lent them some of his troops - in exchange for Donovan's Rolls-Royce Phantom II staff car.

Behind the scenes
In reality, Hatay was a republic and did not have a Sultan.
