Abu'l Nuqoud
(Arabic: أبو النقود)
One of the nine people Al Mualim wants Altair to assassinate.
He is the Merchant King of Damascus and the richest man in the city. Abul is known for throwing lavish parties, and surrounding himself with riches and works of art. He despises the poor with a passion and believes they are responsible for everything that's wrong with the world; however, he also despises himself for being "different". Abul is rarely seen in public, usually only to deliver a speech before one of his parties. Of course, this provided the perfect window of opportunity to get close to the man...
Although he runs when you try to assassinate him he pulls out a sword and fights you when Al Mualim creates an illusion of your 9 assassination targets with the Piece of Eden. It looks quite funny as Abul is extremely fat.
