Soldan of Egypt
The King of Arabia is Zenocrate’s arranged fiancé. He joins with the Soldan to rescue her from Tamburlaine, and he fights and dies gallantly in battle. He and Zenocrate share a loving exchange in his dying moments. However, Zenocrate’s affection seems quite forgotten only moments later when Tamburlaine reappears. Tamburlaine’s own command to give the king a proper burial at the end of Part 1 shows his sense of honor.
