Ahmed the Terrible is a desert raider and minor antagonist that only appears in the 1959 TV series Hergé's Adventures of Tintin.
The Crab with the Golden Claws (1959)[]
Ahmed is first seen capturing Tintin and Captain Haddock in the desert, but then in an Oasis, the Pilot of the Seaplane ordered him to shoot them for a share of diamonds that Tintin had (NOTE: Instead of smuggling Opium, Allan is smuggling Diamonds in the episode), but instead, Ahmed wounds the pilot, and makes Tintin and Haddock prisoners, so he could claim a ransom. He is later distracted by a shootout between him and the pilot, which ends up with him killing the former.
Tintin and the captain escape, thanks to Snowy, and later pass out during a sandstorm. After being found by Lieutenant Delcourt, Tintin and Haddock are escorted to Bagghar via a car, but they are ambushed by Ahmed and a corrupt guard from the fort, and a shootout occurs. He then shoots the car's tire as Tintin and the captain try to escape, Just as Delcourt and his men arrive. Ahmed tries to escape, but falls off his camel as he tried to cross a ravine, and plummets to his death, with the Lieutenant even commenting that "Ahmed the Terrible was now Ahmed the Peaceful."
