  Ben Kalish Ezab and Abdullah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ben Kalish Ezab and Abdullah (Mohammed Ben Kalish Ezab et Abdallah) are characters from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé.
Ben Kalish Ezab was the gentle Emir of Khemed who has a very spoiled, mischievous, hyperactive son, who is a real nuisance.
Not taking Captain Haddock's fears into account, Ben Kalish Ezab has sent Abdullah to live with Haddock at Marlinspike Hall at points of unrest in Khemed.

Having read in an article that slavery still existed, and given his old interest in gun-running, Hergé was provided with a basis for one of his most intriguing tales.
It is also, in some respects, a continuation of Land of Black Gold and a chance for Hergé to bring back some characters from other adventures, who had faded from view for a while.
So we meet once again in this story the Emir Ben Kalish Ezab and his son Abdullah, General Alcazar, Dawson, the former chief of police in Shanghai, Dr Muller, here going under the name of Mull Pasha, Allan and Rastapopoulos, whose character Hergé refines even further.

 Comic World News | Quoth the Raiven
While each adventure could be read on its own, with an accessibility uncommon these days, various allies and enemies would reappear periodically giving a sense of a broader continuity to regular readers.
The eternally battling dictators, Generals Tapioca and Alcazar, their Arab counterparts, Emir Ben Kalish Ezab and Shiek Bab El Ehr, Captain Haddock’s former first mate, Allan, and Tintin’s eventual arch nemesis, Rastapopulous, all were introduced, then revived frequently as they proved their durability.
Even a minor appearance, such as one from General Alcazar at the beginning of “The Seven Crystal Balls”, could precipitate the main mystery, while their familiar presence lent a sense of credibility to Hergé’s universe, the concept that these characters still existed even after their adventure was done.
