| | ''He runs a shop offering all kinds of merchandise. There's definitely something suspicious about this fellow, though.'' |
| During [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s first visit, the Peddler chases [[Aladdin]] and [[Abu]] after Abu stole a lamp from the Peddler. After the lamp's return, [[Iago]] recognizes it as [[Jafar]]'s lamp. Returning to the Peddler's shop, Sora and friends try to purchase the lamp, but the Peddler's price is "a treasure fit for a sultan", prompting the party to go the [[Cave of Wonders]] to bring back enough treasure to pay the price. When Sora and company return to the Peddler's shop, they find the Peddler being chased by Pete, who attempts to snatch the lamp, intending to release Jafar and turn him into a Heartless. The chase continues into the palace grounds, where Iago joins in by swooping down and scooping up the lamp in his beak, but crashes into a wall. After Sora and friends defeat [[Volcanic Lord]] and [[Blizzard Lord]], they purchase the lamp from the Peddler, sealing it away deep inside the palace.

| Sometime before Sora's second visit to Agrabah, the Peddler breaks into the palace to steal some treasure and Jafar telepathically calls to him, tricking the Peddler into releasing him. Jafar departs after being freed, leaving the Peddler empty-handed. Peddler then meets [[Organization XIII|a man in a black coat]], who gives the Peddler with treasure to keep quiet about Jafar, claiming he had get rid of him after Jafar became a Heartless.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''The Peddler''': "So true. I had just snuck into the Palace to, er, borrow some treasure when I heard this...voice. It said: 'Release me, and I will give you an even greater reward.' 'Who are you?' I asked. The voice spoke again. 'The true Sultan of Agrabah,' he said. 'Imprisoned by villains.' Oh! Why did I believe such a tall, tall tale? Perhaps I was under Jafar's spell. Yes! That must be it!" / '''Sora''': "And I'm sure the treasure had nothing to do with it, right?" / '''The Peddler''': Maybe a bit. But Jafar, he never gave me a thing..." / '''Sora''': "So where did you get all your treasure?" / '''Peddler''': "Why, the man in the black coat, of course." / '''Sora''': "Organization XIII!? I KNEW it!" / '''The Peddler''': "The treasure was a gift, so I would tell no one about Jafar's return. He said he would destroy Jafar after turning him into a...'Heartless.' So there was no need to upset Agrabah."</ref>

| When Sora and company beam down from the [[Gummi Ship]] into the Peddler's shop, which is now filled with treasure. Aladdin bursts in and reveals how the Peddler had let Jafar out of the lamp, prompting the Peddler to run. Sora and his friends later find the Peddler in front of the palace. Peddler admits that he had broken into the palace to steal some treasure and released Jafar in exchange for treasure, as well as his encounter with the man in the black coat, who paid him for his silence about Jafar's return.
| | In the first game, the Peddler shows up on occasion inside [[Aladdin|Aladdin's]] house running a shop and hiding from the [[Heartless]] that are overruning the city. |
| | |
| Sora can visit the Peddler again in his shop, where he provides a skateboard for Sora to play the [[SB Sand Slider]] mini-game.

| [[Vexen]]'s [[Absent Silhouette]] can be found in his shop at this point.

| He is the first Data-Agrabah resident the [[Data-Sora]] interacts with, and introduces him to a [[Gravity]]-based [[Debug Ability]]. After Data-Sora fixes Data-Agrabah, he wants a Guard Brace++, for which he will trade Sora a Sardonyx Ring+.

| The Peddler is a very small man with tanned skin, a thin, black goatee, and a rectangular mustache with a triangular gap at his {{w|philtum}}. His clothing is quite simple, consisting of a sky blue robe that reaches the floor, a faded red sash tied around his waist, and brown sandals. The most noticeable aspect of the Peddler's outfit is his ridiculously large, white turban, which is twice as big around as his own head. | | The Peddler has a more important role story-wise in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' game. During the first visit, he is seen chasing after Aladdin and [[Abu]]. According to Aladdin, Abu stole a lamp from the Peddler. After the lamp's return, [[Iago]] recognizes it as [[Jafar|Jafar's]] lamp, saying he'd never mistake it. Returning to the Peddler's shop, [[Sora]] and friends try to purchase the lamp, but the Peddler's price is "a treasure fit for a sultan". Aladdin knows he can't just go to the palace asking for treasure, so Iago suggests another place: The Cave of Wonders. After traversing the desert, and overcoming the traps inside the cave, the gang returns to the shop with a beautiful gold statue adorned with priceless gems. However, they find the shop empty. Suddenly, they hear two voices outside: The Peddler and Pete. Running outside, Sora and friends find the Peddler being chased by Pete, who attempts to snatch the |
| | lamp, intending to release Jafar and turn him into a [[Heartless]]. The chase continues into the palace grounds, where Iago joins in by swooping down and scooping up the lamp in his beak, but crashes into a wall. After Sora and friends defeat [[Volcanic Lord]] and [[Blizzard Lord]], they purchase the lamp, sealing it away deep inside the palace. |

| ==Personality==
| |
| Not much is known about the Peddler, save for his unyielding thirst for wealth. The Peddler is also a very good haggler, as he refuses to give the party Jafar's lamp unless they bring him "a treasure fit for a sultan."

|

|
| ==Origin==
| | On the second visit to [[Agrabah]], Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] beam down from the [[Gummi Ship]] into the Peddler's shop. It has changed much now; it is filled to the brim with treasure. Suddenly, Aladdin bursts in, yelling about how the Peddler had let Jafar out of the lamp. When Sora looks back, the Peddler has vanished. He is next seen in front of the palace after Sora and the gang return from Jafar's trap at the desert ruins. They interrogate him, causing him to spill the beans: He had snuck into the palace to "borrow" some loot, when Jafar telepathically called to him, tricking the Peddler into releasing him. Some time later, the Peddler met with a man in a black coat ([[Organization XIII]]), who paid him in treasure to keep quiet about Jafar, claiming he'd get rid of him after Jafar became a Heartless. As the Peddler puts it, "It would have been a successful transaction if I hadn't been seen..." |
| The Peddler first appeared in the Disney film ''Aladdin'', voiced by the late {{w|Robin Williams}} with {{w|Bruce Adler}} as his singing voice. In the film's opening, he attempts to sell the viewer various pieces of junk before pulling out the magic lamp. To convince the viewer that the lamp is really magical, he tells them a story of its abilities, which is the story of ''Aladdin''.
| |
|
| |
|
| At one point in the production of ''Aladdin'', the Peddler was going to both open and close the movie, and, at the end, reveal himself to be the Genie in disguise. This was dropped for the final film, although he does close the third film, ''{{w|Aladdin and the King of Thieves}}''.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | * It is interesting to note that in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the staff for the game changed the storyline so that it didn't follow ''The Return of Jafar''. In the movie, it wasn't the peddler who released Jafar, but the clumsy, idiotic bandit Abis Mal. |
|
| |
|
| The Peddler's role in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is borrowed from that of "Abis Mal", a clumsy bandit who finds and releases Jafar in ''{{w|The Return of Jafar}}'', eventually becoming one of Aladdin's greatest foes.
| | * After the second visit, the Peddler can be found in his shop, where he provides a skateboard for Sora to play the "Agrabah SB Time Attack" Mini-game. |
|
| |
|
| ==Notes and references==
| | * He introduces the story in the beginning of the first ''Aladdin'' movie and is seen at the ending of "Aladdin and the King of Thieves". |
