Muhammad Avdol

Mohammed Abdul (Muhammed Avdol in Japan) is a fictional character from the Japanese manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A psychic, Abdul was the only Stardust Crusaders to be aware of his stand before Dio's reemergence and the beginning of the story arc. He was also one of the first to meet Dio after the vampire's ressurection, barely escaping with his life and sanity. Abdul is a rather serious fellow, who wears his heart on his sleeve and is a well of knowledge. He is extremely dedicated and willing to die for his comrades. He acts as an advisor of sorts, but is also a powerful warrior.

Stand
Magician's Red appears as a red humanoid figure with the head of a great bird and devilish legs. Its abilities all involve the manipulation of fire. Its main special attack, the Cross Fire Hurricane (CFH), sends forth ankhs of flame in a great storm. There is a stronger version, the CFH Special, for when he really means business. Another attack is the Red Bind, which can tie up or restrain a target in ropes of flame.

Trivia

 * In the manga Avdol "died" when fighting Hol Horse, only to return when the group was in danger. He was supposed to actully die in the battle, but fan feedback ordered his return, and it was reconneted so that Avdol didn't die, but was merely put out of action.


 * His trademark gesture is mimicking a fire starter, which is done with a rotating thumbs up while saying "Ch! Ch! Ch!".


 * Avdol is also a fortune teller. His ability to predict the future is something he likes to bring up in his fights.


 * His knowledge in tarot cards gave him the ability to name Jotaro's stand, Star Platinum. However, this is sometimes parodied by Japanese fans as a name that Jotaro didn't like.


 * The attack "Crossfire Hurricane" is a reference to a lyric in the Rolling Stones single Jumpin' Jack Flash
