Abu Bakaar

Abu Bakaar (Dari: ابو باکار) was a member of the Ten Rings who worked with Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar to organize the Kidnapping of Tony Stark in order to force Stark to recreate the Jericho missile. Shortly after Stark escaped, Bakaar was confronted by Iron Man during a raid in Gulmira, during which Bakaar was left to the mercy of the villagers.
==Biography==
===Kidnapping of Tony Stark===
====Recreating the Jericho Missile====
Abu Bakaar was a member of the terrorist group called the Ten Rings who detained Tony Stark in an effort to make him build new weapons for them. Bakaar was the main contact for Stark while Ho Yinsen worked as his translator; Bakaar ordered Stark to build them a version of the Jericho missile. When Stark refused, Bakaar had him tortured until he agreed to help them. Eventually, Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar took over Bakaar's role as Stark's contact.
====Confronted by Iron Man====
Bakaar was among the militants working for the Ten Rings in Gulmira, the small Afghan region that was home to Ho Yinsen. Bakaar led a group of the insurgents that were killing and trucking people out of the region when Iron Man arrived in his newly constructed Mark III Suit. Iron Man killed many of the Ten Ring members there, but left Bakaar alive, turning him over instead to the mercies of the residents of Gulmira.
==Personality==
Abu Bakaar was brutal, sadistic, and apathetic in his goals, and lacked any empathy for innocent people, attempting to kill a father because he embraced his son in Gulmira. He was greatly loyal to Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar and followed any order given to him, going as far to have Tony Stark tortured. In addition, he was manipulative, trying to persuade Stark to make the missile, and guaranteeing him freedom once he was done. When Stark attacked the Ten Rings in Gulmira, he hid away and was calling in reinforcements, showing himself to be cowardly.
