Origins

Being from common place to one of the most valiant and prominent figures of its era. Such is the reputation of one of the most unlikely heroes who attempted to defend his country from the the rising threat of the villains, becoming involved in the worldwide political system, as well as the conflict against the villains. Aladdin was not considered the type of hero who was born of royal blood, nor he was bestowed with incredible talents, like great strenght or magical powers. Yet, his cunning and thinking dexterity managed to outwit every single situation or foe he has ever encountered. His story passed on as legend and inspiration to the other heroes, to the point of being a role model for the heroes who would proceed after them.

Born on the streets of Agrabah, Aladdin was used in living in the poor ambiance of the city; being forced to steal from the marketplace from an early age. Matters got worse when he was abandoned by his parents. Particulary, his father Cassim left the city to discover new lands and treasures and exploit their resources, eventually creating a band of bandits known as the Forty Thieves, while at the same appointing himself the "King of Thieves", a truth undiscovered by Aladdin at that time. On the other hand, Aladdin's mother passed away, not being able to support the needs of her sons, leaving the young child to grow on the darkest alleys of Agrabah, pick-pocketing the wealthiest figures of the city, while stealing from the marketplace to support his needs.
