**Ja'far** (ジャーファル *Jāfaru*) is Sinbad's right hand and one of the former Eight Generals of Sindria. He works as a chief in Sindria Trading Company.

## Story

### Slave Arc

Upon returning to Sindria Trading Company, Ja'far attends a celebration of their recent accomplishments in Artemyra and Sasan. The festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Sahel, Tamira, Serendine, and Drakon. He struggles to believe Drakon's new appearance as a dragon and sits in to listen as Sahel relays the story of the arduous journey she and the others undertook as refugees.

Ja'far soon learns that Vittel has fallen for a defrauding scheme when guards arrive to seize the company's assets. Ja'far recognizes the scam and suggests that they plead their case in court. However, Sinbad insists there is no time and flies to Remano to discuss the matter with Maader Umm Mariadel in person. Sinbad returns having saved the company at risk to his own freedom. In three days' time, he is to appear in a gladiatorial match where, if he loses, he forfeits his freedom.

Ja'far accompanies Sinbad to Ria Venus Island where he watches from the bleachers as Sinbad loses the match. Ja'far had prepared for this possibility and attempts to use Bararaq Sei to rescue his friend. However, because Sinbad has already been stripped of his metal vessel, Ja'far is unable to draw on his master's magoi and the household vessel does not activate. Before Sinbad is taken away, he gives Ja'far one last intense look, signaling he has not given up.

When Ja'far returns to the company to explain the situation, he begins to panic. However, Rurumu soon returns and seizes control of the situation, offering Ja'far the advice that as a leader, he cannot panic. She then suggests that the company turn to Rashid Saluja to help and sends him with an introduction letter to meet with King Rashid.

After explaining the situation to King Rashid, the only answer he is given is that Rashid can do nothing more than meet with him again. Ja'far does not understand what he means, but believes there is more meaning to his words than what appears on the surface.

Ja'far returns to the company and announces that he could not obtain a clear answer from Rashid. However, when the members of the company begin to panic, Ja'far calmly reminds them that they have already overcome other obstacles thanks to Sinbad. He announces that he cannot overlook such a horrible injustice as their leader being enslaved and suggests that if the enemy is going to use underhanded methods, so should they. The workers are concerned that they do not have the clout or resources to pull off such a feat. Ja'far agrees, but says it is a risk they must take for the sake of their leader. The employees, having intense loyalty toward Sinbad, accept his reasoning. Ja'far tears up, but smiles and nods when Rurumu gives him an encouraging grin.

Vittel, Mahad, Ja'far, Rurumu, Hinahoho, Parsine, and Mystras gather in Sinbad's office. Holding a scroll, Vittel announces their plan to interfere with the slave trade, their main source of profit. Ja'far looks on intently as he explains. However, the idea is met with resistance from Hinahoho and Rurumu. Frustrated, Vittel remarks that if Sinbad were here they would be able to use his reputation to their advantage. These words give Ja'far an idea.

He and Rurumu meet with Maader under the pretense of asking her advice on entering the slave trade. When Maader says something disrespectful to Rurumu, Ja'far nearly snaps at her and ruins the plan. However, Rurumu holds him back. It was a test, and they pass. Together, Ja'far and Rurumu convince Maader to attend a banquet in 3 day's time.
