Personality
Judar is very powerful, cruel, arrogant and somewhat childish. Usually he doesn't listen to anyone's advice or orders,  and does things his own way.He is usually disrespectful, even to his fellow Magi. He seems to be careless about what others think, goading Sinbad into feeling pity for him and then laughing at him. He is a good actor, and goes to great lengths to mock others. Because of his confidence in his abilities he enjoys fighting and war, declaring without support that the Kou Empire will destroy Sindria. Judar does not mind injuring and attacking innocent bystanders of his fights and civillians. Judar doesn't let his troublesome past bother him, as long as he gets to do whatever he pleases.

History
Judar was chosen by the Rukh and was born in a certain village in the east. Right after Judar was born, his parents, along with everyone else in his village, were immediately killed by Al-Thamen. Judar was taken by the organization, and was taken advantage of before he was able to understand anything. He was taught magic there. He has been in this situation since infancy.

Shortly after the founding of the Kou Empire, he was taken there by Al-Thamen and became the empires Oracle and High Priest.

Judar has had multiple altercations with Sinbad, as Sinbad conquered some of the Dungeons that Judar summoned for other people.

Dungeon Arc
Judar appears accompanied by Markkio. He closes down the Dungeon Amon, while Alibaba Saluja, Aladdin and Morgiana are still inside, with his magic. He has a bored expression and comments on how annoying it was having that Dungeon there. He says that Markkio's King Candidate, Jamil, is dead. He then leaves swiftly on a flying carpet.

Kouga Arc
Judar is relaxing at the Kou Empire's palace. Markkios searching him, and scolds Judar because he never appears before the Emperor. Judar answers that he doesn't like the Emperor and that he instead prefers Hakuryuu Ren. He goes and talk to Hakuryuu, trying to urge him to go capture a Dungeon like his sister, Hakuei.

Balbadd Arc
Judar appears again, walking pass Aladdin in front of the palace of Balbadd. Aladdin notes that Judar is like a black sun. Judar heads towards King Ahbmad Saluja's throne room. He immediately appears as threat, as he talks to Sinbad, who has run into Judar many times before.

He later appears at the Fog Troupe's headquarters. He was able to scout out Alibaba as a king canidate since he was a Magi. There he also meets Aladdin officially and almost as soon as he comes, he starts fighting with him. Both Aladdin and Judar use Magoi to attack but seeing how it is useless, Judar starts using magic. Aladdin is pressurized as he lacked the knowledge of Magic. Judar has the upper hand at first by using Lightning Magic and Ice Magic, when Aladdin summons Ugo, who soon goes out of control and starts attacking him. Judar tells Aladdin he is cheating, because Ugo isn't really under his control nor his Djin, and Judar is quickly defeated. Right before, Ugo can perform the finishing blow on Judar, he is saved by the Kou Empire's Princess, Kougyoku Ren and her assistant Ka Koubun. Ugo is quickly dealt with but Judar is rendered unconscious and seriously injured. He is later on treated by Koubun Ka.

A few days later, he is unconscious at Balbadd's Palace and being surrounded by Rukh, the same as Aladdin. Later, he is awake and attacks Alibaba, when he was fighting against Kassim. He asks Banker why he feels so powerful, who responds its because of the Black Rukh becoming his power. He then attacks Sinbad pinning him to a wall with his Ice Magic. As he was dealing the final blow Morgiana and Alibaba interfered. While Alibaba was attacking Kassim he was trying to stop him until Aladdin arrived. Judar asks Aladdin where his Djin was and says to summon him, now that he had a Djin of his own. Aladdin refused, saying he couldn't summon Ugo anymore, which confused everyone. When Judar started to attack Aladdin, his magic had no effect on Aladdin, whose Borg had become much stronger.

While Alibaba was inside Kassim, Aladdin used Solomon's Wisdom on Judar, revealing his past as a child, and the death of his parents causing him to scream in agony and fall to the ground. Banker uses his Black Rukh to take away an unconscious Judar, telling Aladdin they will see each other again.

Zagan Arc
While Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu are at the Toran Village, Judar goes to Sindria and destroys Yamraiha's barrier. When he appears in the middle of Sindria's palace, Jafar attacks him with his Balalark Sei, but Judar clashes him against a wall with some Wind Magic. Jafar's angered, but Sinbad stops him.

Then, Judar confronts Sinbad, and asks him about the existence and purpose of the fourth Magi. He explains that in every era there are supposed to be three Magis, who choose kings, create countries and build the entire world. In the current era, he adds, there are a guy who travels around the world and make dungeons appear and disappear as he pleases, the old hag in Reim Empire, and Judar himself. Judar says that in a new Magi appears is because someone of these three people must have died, but he says that, as far as he knows, all three Magis are alive. Then, he says the fourth Magi has a power that even Judar never heard about, and that the "organization" desires.

He questions Sinbad's real intentions for protecting Aladdin, and aks him what does Sinbad want to obtain by using Aladdin. Sinbad coldly answers that this is nothing of Judar's business, and reminds him that he has a grudge against the organization for what they did to them in Partevia. Judar, then, starts to cry much for Sinbad's surprise, and says that he's also one of Al-Thamen's victims. He says that Aladdin showed him his past, and Judar discovered that Al-Thamen killed his parents and kidnapped him when he was a child, taking advantage of his innocent oblivion. He shouts he wanted to live a normal life, and questions if its really his fault why hes like this. Judar then falls to a crouch on the ground, hiding his face in his hands whilst sobbing. When Sinbad approaches Judar in a concerned manner, Judar starts to laugh, and mocks Sinbad for feeling pity for him, saying that he really is a good person. Judar says whislt all that that he said prior in his story is true, he doesn't care about those things at all, just as long as he can keep doing whatever he pleases.

Judar comments that the country Sindria isn't half that bad, and that he doesn't hate Aladdin, but for those reasons he threatens to destroy both Aladdin and Sindria. He says to Sinbad that he wanted to join forces and comments that it would have been incredibly fun to conquer the world together, but Judar then noticed that it would be more fun killing someone as strong as Sinbad. After that, Judar begins to exalt the Kou Empire, and says that they have five Dungeon Conquerors and monsters in the army. He enumerates his King Candidates: Hakuei Ren, Kougyoku Ren, Kouha Ren, Koumei Ren, and Kouen Ren. Judar says that among them Kouen's the best, and that he won't lose to Sinbad. Then Judar declares Sindria an enemy state to the Kou Empire. Kougyoku appears and asks him what does he mean with that declaration, and he answers that it is exactly what she heard and that's why she doesn't need to stay in Sindria anymore. Judar comments that Kougyoku was probably in Sindria due to the scandal concerning her and Sinbad, and that due to that she probably lost place in the Kou Empire. Judar asks Kougyoku to return with him and says that he will fulfill Kougyoku's desire and make her into a general. She doesn't answer and Judar asks what's wrong before dismissing the subject. He asks Kougyoku to tell Hakuryuu that Sindria is their enemy now, before using gravity magic to leave.

Second Sindria Arc
When he returns to Balbadd, he is greeted by Koumei and Kouha. Judar, to apologize for his lateness, gives to Koumei a gift from Sindria. Koumei is not pleased at all when he hears that Judar came from such a place. They go to where Kouen is waiting, and Seiryuu Ri and Kokuhyou Shuu angrily ask him how he dare make Kouen wait. Kouen asks Judar if he brought some interesting present to him. Then Judar tells him about the declaration he made in Sindria and, while Kouha is surprised and Koumei angry, Kouen laughs, saying that is very befitting for the Magi of his Empire.

World Exploration Arc
After the death of the Kou Empire's Second Emperor, Koutoku Ren, Judar returns to the palace with Kouen Ren. When he passes beside Hakuryuu he stares him, realizing that there's a change in him.

After the funeral, Judar confronts Hakuryuu. Hakuryuu doesn't want to talk with him because says that Judar is a Gyokuen's pawn, and Judar says that the same goes for Hakuryuu. Judar says the prince is still being controlled by his mother. Judar says that Hakuryuu has become strong, and that he wishes to show this power to Gyokuen, who is a member of Al-Thamen. When she appears, Judar watches their confrontation and, afterwards, he offers to help Hakuryuu if he agrees to curse his "destiny".
