Personality
Abdullah is shown to be sneaky, greedy, arrogant, abusive, and somewhat cruel.

History
Abdullah is first seen planning to capture Duma with Patel and Nigel. When the trio go to the Johnsons' house, Patel sneaks into the house to get the cheetah whistle. After he got the whistle, they capture Duma.

Abdullah decides to train her for running fast. Ted, Susan and Morogo have to go out and save Duma.

When Ted and Susan try to rescue Duma, they get caught by the trio. However, Morogo sets them free from the cage and go after them. Abdullah is later seen when Duma is racing against the Greyhounds.

When Abdullah tries to prevent her from winning, Ted snatches the whistle from the Racetrack cop and blows the whistle and makes Duma go faster and reach the finish line. While Abdullah tries to escape from Duma, she tackles him and Abdullah gets arrested.
