=== Encounter with Indiana Jones === The [[Arab]] swordsman was based in [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]],<ref name="RotLA Sourcebook">''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark Sourcebook]]''</ref> operating as a thug for hire,<ref name="TTS:IJ" /> an assassin, muscle-man and bandit in the city's underworld. In [[1936]], much like the [[Monkey Man]], the man was hired by [[Nazi]] intelligence agents operating in the city while recruiting diggers for their operations.<ref name="RotLA Sourcebook" /> Along with a number of other men, the Arab Swordsman was brought on to remove or disrupt any threats to the [[Germany|German]] excavation of the [[Ark of the Covenant]] at [[Tanis]], which included [[United States of America|American]] [[archaeologist]] [[Indiana Jones]]. When the group kidnapped [[Marion Ravenwood]], Jones' associate, the swordsman stepped up to challenge the archaeologist during his frantic search for her.<ref name="RotLA" /> A busy Cairo marketplace suddenly parted as the black-robed man confronted Jones with an over-sized [[scimitar]]. Giving a small laugh, he began displaying his skill with his weapon to intimidate the American.<ref name="RotLA" /> Not wishing to commit the same mistake he did [[1935|a year earlier]] when facing two [[Thuggee]]s in [[India]]<ref name="IJatToD">''[[Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom]]''</ref> and deciding he had no time for a protracted fight against the flamboyant swordsman however, Jones simply took out his revolver and shot him, causing the swordsman to drop dead on the sandy street. The Cairo onlookers cheered Jones' actions and ran off with the assassin's sword while Jones proceeded on his search for Ravenwoood.<ref name="RotLA" />
