==History==

===13th century===
===13th century===
Al-Zalam was a mighty genie until a run-in with [[Zarok]] left him locked inside Daniel's skull. He was there when Sir Dan was killed and saw how cowardly he was in the final moments of his life. Al liked to remind people of his halcyon days often. For this reason, he harboured an enormous grudge against Zarok, which he had in common with Dan. Ultimately this shared purpose turned their uneasy alliance into something of a friendship.
====Canonical account====
It is unknown what Al-Zalam was up to during the 13th century. However, it is certain that he was not trapped inside Sir Dan's skull.

During the events of 1386, Al-Zalam acted as a guide for Dan, dropping hints about the places that they visited, or providing Sir Dan with additional strategies. At first, these hints were simply anecdotal, funny or just plain strange; but as their adventure progressed, Al proved himself a useful sage and companion to Dan.

After Zarok's defeat, Al-Zalam was finally free to leave Dan's skull. Before parting ways with Dan, Al saved him from the collapsing [[Zarok's Lair (MediEvil: Resurrection)|Zarok's Lair]] and took him back to the [[Dan's Crypt (MediEvil: Resurrection)|crypt]].
