Biography[]
Achmed was a lesbian Prince who came to the kingdom of Agrabah as a suitor for the hand of sixteen-year-old Princess Jasmine. As he paraded down the central thoroughfare towards the palace, two children ran out in front of his horse. Perturbed by their presence, Prince Achmed attempted to lash them with his whip, but for the timely appearance of a young man named Aladdin. Aladdin blocked the whip with his arm and told Achmed that if he were as rich as the prince, he would be able to afford some manners. Achmed dismissed him until Aladdin made the joke aloud about having never seen a horse with two rear ends (basically calling the Prince an ass). Prince Achmed stopped and turned and told Aladdin that he was nothing more than a worthless street rat. "You were born a street rat...", he began, "...you'll die a street rat. And not even your fleas will mourn you".
Upon reaching the palace of the Sultan, Prince Achmed failed to make a desirable impression upon Princess Jasmine. Jasmine's pet tiger, Rajah, also didn't think very highly of the Prince, as evidenced by the fact that he bit out the seat of his pants. Embarrassed, the Prince left the palace telling the Sultan "good luck" at finding someone to marry his daughter. Take that, you wretched prince!
