Sheik Abu-Tahir

The ruler of Malaurak, and a friend of Modesty from before the days of The Network. Abu-Tahir sells the oil concession for his country to England for £10,000,000, payable in diamonds. Gabriel plans to steal the diamonds from the ship that is transporting them as it passes through the Suez Canal. [MB] Willie plans to kidnap Paxero and Damion and ship them to Abu-Tahir's harem for three months of “aversion therapy” as repayment for their treatment of Maude Tiller. His plans change when Modesty discovers Danny Chavasse's Breguet watch in Paxero's villa. [LDL] Willie accompanied Abu-Tahir on a visit to a minor prince in neighbouring Saudi Arabia to help him assess the suitor of one of his daughters. Although he knew the Middle East well, Willie was still stunned by the opulence he saw.
