Alhazad is the most intelligent and polite of Quarter Knights. He uses a large white robe to hide his true form, and fights using several bug-like robots called "Bastis" and "Esperanzas". The party fights him three times. For third and last battle with him, at Ka Dingel, he reveals his true form, but is nonetheless defeated and perishes.

Alhazad prefers strategy and knowledge to warfare, and is a scientist. At least one laboratory was created on Filgaia for his use. He considers humans guinea pigs, and sometimes uses them for his experiments. One example of this is the destruction of the town, Saint Centaur, which tested a creation of Alhazad's.

Prior to the events that take place in the game, he and Zeikfried destroy the kingdom of Arctica. Alhazad is responsible for the deaths of Ryan, Coldbird, the Duke of Arctica, and for Elmina's fate.

Trivia:Edit

Alhazad is actually named after H. P. Lovecraft's character, the "Mad Arab"; Abdul Alhazred. Hence the the name of his theme song "Mad Poet". There is a bit of continuity of Lovecraft's character in Alhazad, if you look hard enough. Or if you're familiar with Lovecraft's work and the Necronomicon, which Alhazred is the supposed "fictional" author of. The irony in some of this is that one of Cecilia's left-hand items is named the Necronomicon, too.

Like many things in Wild ARMs, Alhazad's name was lost in translation.
