I am Al Jabr. I bring mechanisms that can make you rich. I'm an ambassador from a far off land.

— Al Jabr

History

Al Jabr was a brilliant mathematician and scientist roaming Europe in the 10th Century. Whilst in England he came upon the village of named Little Spring and enters the local pub. Al Jabr tries to get service, but the bartender refuses due to him being foreign. Another traveller, a large Amazon woman called Exoristos, roughly convinces him to do so. There in the bar they meet another warrior, the cursed Jason Blood and his companion Madame Xanadu who are at a table speaking with the immortal Vandal Savage.

The bar gets attacked by the Questing Queen's horde. Then, Jason decides to transform himself to Etrigan to fight them off. While everybody fights off the Horde, Mordru casts a dragon to attack the bar.
