History[]

Colonel Fuad (Original)

Fuad's original design as seen in the book series.

When Rastapopoulos ordered Fuad to make sure that Tintin didn't make it back to Cairo, he had Corporal Abu-Bin-Dun forcibly recruiting Tintin to the Saudi Arabian army, when the gunman failed to kill him.

When Fuad caught Tintin looking through the evidence in his office, he called the army and ordered them to capture him, and sentenced him to death under accusation of espionage. In reality, as a member of the Kih-Oskh brotherhood, it was meant to silence him.

It was under Fuad's service that Tintin found a box of hollow cigars and orders to send more cigars to India for the next opium harvest, thus revealing the Colonel to be a member of the drug trafficking ring.

Tintin was freed from prison before the firing squad was carried out, by Thompson and Thomson, sabotaging the execution, while continuing to arrest Tintin, suspecting him of drug smuggling in the past. Fuad and his soldiers soon tried to recapture and kill Tintin again, but he escaped in a warplane.

Days later Fuad attended a Kih-Oskh Brotherhood meeting in India and was knocked out by Tintin along with the rest of the members. He was presumably arrested afterwards.
