Al-Thamen

"We are those that will continue to create darkness in this world, we, the community of the true nation, made by our father, as written in Al Sarmen’s agenda."

- Al Sarmen members speaking about themselves.

About
Sinbad doesn't know their real name, so he simply refers to them as "The Organization". Al Sarmen is an evil organization, bent on putting fate on the path to chaos. They do whatever it takes to bring a country to hatred and goes around creating Black Genies to cause this hatred.

Goals
Their goal is to raise the ‘Abnormalities of the World’. They want to continue creating darkness in the world, and to do that they need the help of the Black Rukh. They seem to want to take over various countries in order to further their goals. They want to create the darkness in this world and to set free everything from the prison that controls everything, from the structure of this world. In other words from “destiny”. That’s the only way to escape from an unavoidable rule that goes toward a certain conclusion and continue to live. A rule decided and imposed by someone, that is “Degeneration”. They choose not to do as destiny says.

Black Rukh
This organization is able to use Black Rukh in order to fight. They use Black Rukh to use their Dark Metal Vessels, something only they are able to make through unknown means. They also have discovered the ability to make a Black Djinn.

Members
The members of Al Sarmen all seem to have some history with a particular country that they are from. The organization's influences run deep into all kinds of different countries. All top members seem have a sadistic side and use Dark Metal Vessels. Strong ones are able to do a Dark Djinn Weapon Equip. The Magi, Judal, was taken in by them after they destroyed and killed his entire village along with his parents. Three members have been defeated by Sinbad and each time he defeated one, they turn into doll (like the shape of a matryoshka dolls), so it is unknown if they are dead or if they have just been defeated.

Trivia

 * The name of this organization is a corruption of the Arabic word الثامِن Ath-Thaamin (or without elision: Al-Thaamin), meaning "The Eighth", or the Arabic word ثَمانِية Thamaaniya, meaning "Eight", perhaps refering to their symbol (the 8-pointed sun and octagram as seen on the top of this page). This is further supported by the fact that, at one point, they are even called Eight Beautiful Stars (八芳星, Hachi Yoshi Boshi).
 * Most members of Al Sarmen, except Gyokuen Ren, Judal and Isaac, has three vertical dots on their foreheads.
